The Cosmic Spiderweb

Thursday January 18, 2018
3:00 pm


 Presenter:  Mark Neyrinck (Institute for Computational Cosmology, Durham University)
 Series:  Nuclear, Particle, Astroparticle and Cosmology (NUPAC) Seminars
 Abstract:  I will discuss our recent paper about the cosmic web as a conceptual as well as architectural framework to understand the large-scale structure. We discussed that in a particular good approximation, the cosmic web is exactly a "spiderweb", a spatial graph with geometric properties allowing it to be strung up entirely in tension. I will briefly suggest how this is related to origami as well, and how it could be used for cosmological tests.
 Host:  Dinesh Loomba
