A successful large-scale simulation of the evolution of galaxies, with results consistent with what is actually seen by astronomers in the night sky, provides evidence that the theoretical underpinnings of the models employed, i . e ., the supercomputer implementations ?CDM, are sound bases for understanding galactic dynamics and the history of the universe, and opens avenues to further research.
