Illustris, the first model of the formation of our universe that accurately predict the matter, gas and metal content we see in the universe today, and the variety of different types of galaxies we observe through our telescopes.

00:33 ○ Narrated explanation. .
04:20 ○ A 10Mpc region from the start ( 380.000 Year after the BB) to today..
06:57 ○ Info, what is illustris.
12:56 ○ Full 100 Mpc cube showing dark matter and gas temp. at the present day.
14:21 ○ Zoom from 100 Mpc to the scale of an spiral galaxy (~10 kpc)
16:17 ○ Time evolution of a 10Mpc cubic region, rendered from outside
18:59 ○ Time evolution of 4 regions with different densities, showing gas temp.
21:00 ○ Time evolution of four over-dense regions 7,5 Mpc on a side.
23:42 ○ 1 Mpc Time evolution showing the formation of a massive elliptical galaxy
...
The simulation is so accurate that a mock observation of galaxies from the Illustris model could pass for an image taken by the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Space Telescope.
The first part ○ 4:29 ○ shows blue ephemera start to clump together and form a web-like structure. This is the cosmic web--a network of dark matter, drawn together by gravity. The pink areas are where the dark matter is the most dense.

As time goes on ○ 5:10 ○ the view switches from the blue and pinks of dark matter to the greens, reds and whites of the gas field. At about 4.9 billion years after the big bang ○ 5:35 ○ you will start to see what look like explosions. This is feedback from super-massive black holes that scientists believe are at the center of nearly all the nearby galaxies.
