Accelerating Research Into Dark Energy

A quick method for making accurate, virtual universes to help understand the effects of dark matter and dark energy has been developed by UCL and CEFCA scientists. Making up 95% of our universe, these substances have profound effects on the birth and lives of galaxies and stars and yet almost nothing is known about their physical nature.

One of the puzzling questions facing cosmologists is the accelerating rate of expansion of our universe. This new method for generating virtual universes may help us get to a deeper understanding of this phenomenon.
