Yay for computers. This video is a simulation of the collision of two galactic clusters with dark matter cores. My favorite quote is 'violent relaxation'. This video may be too geeky for some.



here's an article that discusses the contents some

It gets pretty awesome towards the end. Imagine being at a bar where they play this shit on huge wall monitors to some spaced out lounge music. Maybe with some Carl Sagan or Michio Kaku voice over descriptions. Instant best night over.

Though I'm not sure if there would be a big public for that outside of megapolises like NY or London.

Not a big fan of dark matter/energy theories btw, although there is obviously SOMETHING to it they don't make a lot of 'sense'. But then neither does physics at quantum level so maybe that is not a fair or intellectually valid qualifier. Meh. I just don't like the fact that it's basically a placeholder rather than an actual theoretical given.
