Cool stuff. Right now the early evolution of galaxies right after the Big Bang is a big question mark. The James Webb space telescope has found enough galaxies that are “too” old according to our current models (and assumptions). PBS Spacetime had a very good episode about this 3 weeks ago. Hopefully these simulations help the astronomers develop the galaxy formation models.
yeah it looks like our current model for how galaxies form is not correct, so these kinds of simulations might shed light on what's actually happening
