Big Bang seems wrong, computers to blame
Big Bang seems wrong, computers to blame
Quote:
If current computer simulations are anything to go by, the Big Bang is wrong, according to cosmologists. But the experts aren't throwing away the theory just yet, they're blaming the computers.
According to a report published in U.S. journal Science on Friday, current simulations, which theoretically map the formation of the universe from when the Big Bang 'unfolded' over 13 billion years ago, are inconsistent with actual observations of nearby galaxies.
Cosmologists might have to wait decades before computer simulations can substantiate their theories, as current computers are simply not powerful enough to yield useful data.
