A cosmic web formation simulation run with Claude
A gravity simulation of millions of particles, run with Claude, shows matter clumping into the filaments and voids of the cosmic web over time.

The full story
This is a short looping animation of how matter in the universe arranged itself from soon after the Big Bang to roughly the present day. The maker ran a physics program with Claude that models a large cube of space filled with millions of particles, mostly standing for dark matter, and lets gravity pull them around.
The program saved eight snapshots, and the animation shows a thin slice through the cube at each one. The dots start almost evenly spread, then gather into thin strands and dense clumps separated by growing empty regions, the pattern known as the cosmic web.
