StarCat Signal seeks to emulate a universe as we expect it to be 7.4 billion years from now, enabling you and me to discover its secrets.
This document describes the technical approaches in StarCat Signal
A procedure for generating the vast variability in the structure of space -- which gives rise to an entire universe -- is elusive.
Application of such a procedure in a technically feasible way is doubly elusive. Computers, while unbelievably efficient, are not able to simulate even the number of galaxies (~1 trillion) in our universe, much less the hundreds of billions of individual stars and planets in each of those galaxies.
