How Euclid will map the Universe
ESA’s Euclid mission will create a 3D-map of the Universe that scientists will use to measure the properties of dark energy and dark matter and uncover the nature of these mysterious components. The map will contain a vast amount of data, it will cover more than a third of the sky and its third dimension will represent time spanning 10 billion years of cosmic history.
But dealing with the huge and detailed set of novel data that Euclid observations will produce is not an easy task. To prepare for this, scientists in the Euclid Consortium have developed one of the most accurate and comprehensive computer simulations of the large-scale structure of the Universe ever produced. They named this the Euclid Flagship simulation.
Running on large banks of advanced processors, computer simulations provide a unique laboratory to model the formation and evolution of large-scale structures in the Universe, such as galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the filamentary cosmic web they form. These state-of-the-art computational techniques allow astrophysicists to trace the motion and behavior of an extremely large number of dark-matter particles over cosmological volumes under the influence of their own gravitational pull. They replicate how and where galaxies form and grow, and are used to predict their distribution across the celestial sphere.
Explore the Euclid Flagship simulation in this video and get a sneak preview of the structure of the dark Universe, as we currently model it. New insights will be brought to you by the Euclid mission in the coming years.

THE VOID – A POTENTIAL SOPHISTICATED RACE:
When Hubble mapped the visible universe, it came across the Void, a region in space that seems to not harbor any stars or Universes.
But what if it does harbor stars? What if Dyson Spheres build over billions of Years, are build in this region of the visible Universe?
We could measure to be frankly speaking, all we need to do is measure 1 single subatomic particle, on a trajectory towards us, from the void, to have evidence of an enormous empire of highly intelligent beings, creating Dyson Spheres, in their region of space, making it seem like the entire region is empty.
However X-Rays and Neutrinos could betray their silent presence in the universe.

Absolutely Fascinating. Congratulations. 👍👍😊
¿Cómo pueden hacer un universo en 3D, si se supone que el universo es plano? 😂😂😂😂😂
This director of this video made the narrator whisper at a VERY irritating level, making this important video unwatchable. I do not know why they made such an irritating decision, but ESA needs to hire people who can behave professionally. It sounds like one of those horribly irritating ASMR videos.
