The Geometry of the Cosmic Web and Primordial Information Flow

Explore the fascinating geometry of cosmic networks and the flow of primordial information in this 52-minute seminar by Mark Neyrinck from Durham University. Delve into a class of networks with geometries based on Voronoi diagram generalizations, including the cosmic web, spiderwebs, and origami tessellations. Discover how these networks share common structural properties and their potential applications across various fields. Learn about the concept of primordial information, its origins in the early universe, and how it evolves as the cosmic web forms. Investigate the deterministic nature of large-scale structures and the loss of small-scale primordial information in cosmic web patches. Engage with the open question of where the boundary between deterministic and non-deterministic structure formation lies in the universe.
