Biggest ever cosmos simulation

It's also on the Newsnight website just now. If you get the opportunity skim past the EU stuff till about 30 minutes into last nights show and there is an interview with the scientists invovled.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
