SCIENTISTS SIMULATE UNIVERSE WITH 36,000 GRAPHICS CARDS They built the largest model ever to study dark matter and how stars evolve. Every dot in the simulation represents a galaxy—and this is only 0.001% of the entire thing. At this scale, Earth is so small it’s almost laughable. Source: Black Hole

If scientists can simulate the universe, are we in a simulation too?

Dark matter: the thing scientists invented because their models don’t make sense.

something to remind us humans to be always humble... because in the grand scheme of The Universe... we are literally... Nothing. 🙈🙈🐿️

Mind-boggling! Scientists have created the largest simulated universe ever, utilizing 36,000 graphics cards to study dark matter and star evolution. The simulation is so massive that it represents only 0.001% of the entire universe, with each dot symbolizing a galaxy. This puts Earth's size into perspective, making it almost imperceptibly small.

I like how none of the models resemble reality so they just made up dark matter to cover the edges. May as well call it the ether

We’re gonna see time travel soon.

So is that the sort of universe our universe is? Can we prove otherwise?

Earth: A tiny blue speck in a simulation so big it makes our heads spin. 🌌

Brian Cox is pointing at one dot. The dot is a galaxy with 100 billion stars. There are 200 billion more on the same map. The thin line at the top of that map represents a billion light-years. At the speed of light, it would take a billion years to cross that sliver. The math gets stranger. The observable universe holds roughly 30 sextillion stars. Every grain of sand on every beach on Earth combined is about 7.5 sextillion. The universe has 4x more stars than Earth has sand. The deeper number is which of those galaxies you can ever actually reach. Dark energy is accelerating cosmic expansion. Space itself is stretching faster than light can cross it. The cosmic event horizon sits at roughly 16 billion light-years from Earth. Anything past that is moving away from us faster than light can chase. We can see those galaxies because their photons left billions of years ago when the gap was small enough. We cannot reach them. We cannot send a signal. We cannot know what they look like now. 97% of the galaxies on Cox's map are already disconnected from our future. Visible artifacts of a past that has ended. Now look forward. In about 150 billion years, accelerating redshift will push every galaxy outside our Local Group beyond detection. Andromeda will have merged with the Milky Way. The other 199,999,999,999 galaxies will be invisible. Civilizations on planets around future stars will look up and see only one galaxy. Their telescopes will tell them the universe ends at the edge of the Local Group. They will not see cosmic background radiation. They will not observe expansion. They will not know about the Big Bang. The evidence will have receded past their light cone. Every astronomy textbook they could ever write would conclude the universe is small, static, and made of one galaxy. We exist in a 100-billion-year window where the universe is still legible. Before us, too hot, too dense, too young. After us, the lights go out one galaxy at a time. 30 sextillion stars on the map. A 100-billion-year window in which to read it. We exist inside the only overlap.

Elon Musk said the most important thing anyone has said this century. Musk: “I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare, and it might only be us.” 13.8 billion years. Trillions of galaxies. Billions of trillions of stars. Not one signal from any of them. That silence is the loudest data point in human history. Musk: “The image in my mind is of a tiny candle in a vast darkness. A tiny candle of consciousness that could easily go out.” That is not poetry. That is a threat assessment from the only person on Earth building the response. Stars don’t know they burn. Black holes don’t know they consume. The universe has been running for 13.8 billion years with no awareness of itself. We are the only known point in all of that time and all of that space where matter woke up and understood what it was looking at. Every law of nature ran in complete silence for billions of years. Gravity pulled. Light traveled. Elements fused. None of it meant anything. Because meaning requires a mind. And there might only be one. Musk is not building rockets because he likes engineering. He is building an escape route for the only thing in the universe that knows the universe exists. If consciousness disappears, the stars keep burning. The physics keeps running. But the universe is no longer a universe. It is just matter moving through space with nothing to call it that. The most profound thing Musk said is not that the candle is small. It is that without the candle, there is no such thing as light or darkness. Just physics performing to an empty room for the rest of eternity. One man looked at that and said no.
