... These computer models are doing very well, but not yet well enough. The problem is dynamic range: any simulation that models a large enough piece of the universe to be representative (a cube of 100 Mpc on a side seems sufficient), cannot have the resolution to accurately follow what happens on galactic scales ( kpc). At present, each point in the n-body code represents around , and you cannot model star formation and galaxy dynamics with only particles. ...
