"hot, dense, nearly uniform state approximately 11 billion years ago"? I thought the consensus figure was more like 13 or 14 billion. --arkuat (talk) 19:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Merge suggestion
Interestingly enough, these two articles developed organically and there is very little overlap. Please, someone help us merge! --ScienceApologist 06:59, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have removed the merge tag. I agree that the two articles are closely related, but I envison large-scale structure of the universe as being a sort of broad, non-technical overview, while this article could be more technical and include more detailed referencing. This is a project I've been lazily putting off for a long time. As you can see, I've made a start, but plenty more can be added. One interesting thing would be to include a hand-waving explanation of why the CMB anisotropy spectrum looks the way it does, à la Wayne Hu. I also intend to add something about how to go from cosmic inflation -> linear structure -> N-body with some mathematical details (although not a complete description). –Joke 01:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Millenium Simulation
While I agree that the Millenium simulation of Springel and colleagues is very important, being the largest of its kind ever done, it should be placed in the proper context of the previous thirty years of N-body simulations. Rtfisher 13:47, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
