Learn how scientists model the explosions of stars and the evolution of the universe on enormous supercomputers. Lecture: 04:07; Lecture Q&A: 37:14; Panel Q&A: 44:17 Date: July 8, 2016 Lecturer: Dr. Cameron Hummels Title: Simulating the Universe on a Supercomputer Abstract: As technology has advanced over the last several decades, so too has our ability to use computers to simulate the formation and evolution of planets, stars, galaxies, and the Universe itself. I will describe and highlight simulations modeling how black holes merge, how supernovae explode, how galaxies form, and how the Universe has evolved since the Big Bang. Come discover the ways in which simulations are driving our understanding of the heavens and see a live demo on one of the most powerful super computers on Earth.
