A Quantification of the Butterfly Effect in Cosmological Simulations and Implications for Galaxy Scaling Relations

A Quantification of the Butterfly Effect in Cosmological Simulations and Implications for Galaxy Scaling Relations

We study the chaotic-like behavior of cosmological simulations by quantifying how minute perturbations grow over time and manifest as macroscopic differences in galaxy properties. When we run pairs of "shadow" simulations that are identical except for random minute initial displacements to...
