Data visualization could reveal nature of the universe

As cosmologists ponder the universe—and other possible universes—the data available to them is so complex and vast that it can be extremely challenging for humans alone to comprehend.
In applying scientific principles used to create models for understanding cell biology and physics to the challenges of cosmology and big data, Cornell researchers have developed a promising algorithm to map a multifaceted set of probabilities.
The new method, which researchers have used to visualize models of the universe, could help solve some of physics' greatest mysteries, such as the nature of dark energy or the likely characteristics of other universes.

Much more interesting information in the link.

So they literally are guessing. Theoretical physicists will never be able to prove the existence of another universe let alone map one out. I fail to see how their program can tell us anything new about dark energy either. Thanks for the link though, these tidbits are always cool to read and cool to think about.

These guys seem like really good guessers .
" To test the algorithm, the researchers used data from the European Space Agency's Planck satellite, and studied it with co-author Michael Niemack, associate professor of physics, whose lab develops instruments to study the formation and evolution of the universe by measuring microwave radiation. They applied the model to data on the cosmic microwave background—radiation left over from the universe's earliest days.
The model produced a map depicting possible characteristics of different universes, of which our own universe is one point. This new method of visualizing the qualities of our universe highlights the hierarchical structure of the dark energy and dark matter dominated model that fits the cosmic microwave background data so well. While the structure isn't surprising, these visualizations present a promising approach for optimizing cosmological measurements in the future, Niemack said."

More interest is developing about what lies outside of our Universe as we come to understand the cosmos. This is a natural human trait. It was once thought that the Universe amounted to everything that exists. Theory is saying that much more exists outside of what we can observe. New technologies are vastly changing our observations. First comes theory, then comes observation.
