Quick explanation
A cosmological simulation is a comprehensive computer simulation of how the Universe and its galaxies evolves through time.
Just as, with a camera with a certain amount of pixels available, you must choose whether to take a close-up picture with high resolution or a panorama picture with low resolution, a cosmological simulation can choose to focus on simulating accurately either the large-scale structure of the Universets or the individual galaxies.

- do with the short version, or
- read one of the articles I did finish (the ones on the front page with colored icons), or
- Make me finish it.
