    ByGreg KestinThe Nature of RealityThe Nature of Reality

    So, the universe just arrived at your doorstep…in a box. Now what? The two videos below show you what comes in the box and how to put it together.

    Video 1 – In “ Unboxing the Universe” the following cosmic components are revealed:

    • black holes
    • dark energy
    • dark matter
    • stars
    • dust, gas, and more!

    Video 2 – In “ How to Build the Universe” the cosmic components are pieced together into the universe as we know it:

    • Building a Galaxy : Start with a supermassive black hole at the center, populate the surrounding region with appropriate proportions of blue, red, yellow, and white stars, then spray in the dark matter.
    • Building the Universe : After building galaxies, arrange them into a cosmic web, then spray in dark energy and watch it grow!

    This project/research was supported by grant number FQXi-RFP-1822 from the Foundational Questions Institute and Fetzer Franklin Fund, a donor-advised fund of Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
