A supercomputer that can do 200 billion arithmetic operations a second is to be used by UK scientists to simulate the workings of the universe.
The 'Cosmology Machine' developed by the University of Durham will use data from billions of observations of stars, gases and galaxies to test theories of cosmic evolution.

The results will aim to create the closest possible simulation of the universe that will then be able to map its past, present and future. The size of the task is mind-boggling. Researchers at the university have calculated that it would take one person a million years of continuous work to do what the Cosmology Machine will achieve in one second.
