Cosmology@Home launched, searching for origins of universe |
Champaign (IL) - University researchers have created a new distributed computing environment which will join the ranks of many other such endeavors. It will allow theoretical models of the universe to be tested against real, observed data. The goal is to use a brute force method to find out which theory best matches up with the observed data. It's called Cosmology@home, and is available to anyone who wants to participate. Could your computer be the one that discovers the origin of our universe?
The BOINC software is used to run Cosmology@home. Here is a sample screenshot of the software in operation.
