Mapping The Hidden Construction Of The Universe

Update - I've temporarily removed the links on this post. The CCNR website appears to convey been hacked in addition to is forthwith redirecting to porn sites. 

Computer simulations of the universe in addition to large scale galaxy surveys advise that long filaments connect galaxies inside the Universe. This concept of a 'cosmic web' views the Universe every bit a develop of discrete galaxies held together yesteryear gravity. Thanks to Kim Albrecht, at the Center for Complex Network Research, y'all tin laissez passer on notice forthwith persuasion 3 distinct mapped models of the cosmic web.

Scientists at the Center for Complex Network Research tested 7 distinct network algorithms to larn to a greater extent than nigh the structure in addition to the characteristics of the underlying network of the cosmic web. Their query has revealed to a greater extent than nigh how galaxies check together inside the Universe.

In The Network Behind the Cosmic Web Kim Albrecht has created 3 interactive visualizations of the cosmic spider web based on the 3 primary models that were tested yesteryear the Center for Complex Network Research. These 3 3d models of the universe acquaint a mapped network of 24,000 galaxies amongst to a greater extent than than 100,000 connections. The 3 models are the Fixed Length Model, the Varying Length Model in addition to the Nearest Neighbors Model.

In Albrecht's Cosmic Web Visualization y'all tin laissez passer on notice switch betwixt the 3 dissimilar models using the links inwards the side panel. You tin laissez passer on notice rotate each 3d model using your mouse in addition to zoom inwards in addition to out using the mouse scroll wheel. You tin laissez passer on notice besides operate the histogram inwards the side panel to suit the publish of connections per galaxy inwards the model.
