- ArtWomb 5y agoAptly named, as the first simulations will be detecting dark matter. What's incredible is that optical simulation in high energy physics can be reduced to ray tracing in computer graphics.

- stainforth 5y agoAre there hard objectives that get reached or achieved with the simulations or whatever's being run? Or is it some amount of data that may or may not show something significant but up to interpretation?
