Summary

Story summary

The cosmic web is a complex 3D structure of the universe, where galaxies cluster and form superclusters connected by filaments and voids.
Innovative methods are needed to understand this framework, combining fundamental physics with extensive astronomical data.
The Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structure (EFTofLSS) models matter distribution but requires significant computational resources.
Current surveys like DESI and the upcoming Euclid mission produce vast datasets, complicating model execution without supercomputers.
Effort.jl provides a solution, allowing efficient analysis of large-scale cosmic structures on standard laptops.

History

Historical Context

In 1929, Edwin Hubble's groundbreaking discovery of the expanding universe established Hubble's Law, linking galaxy distance to velocity. This pivotal moment in astrophysics built on earlier theories, including Einstein's general relativity. Today, missions like DESI and Euclid continue this legacy, utilizing advanced computational tools to analyze vast datasets, reflecting the ongoing evolution of astronomical research and technology.
