Billions of Squares

Our Supercomputer Simulations

We use supercomputers to study the crackling noise of magnets. Here is one of our pictures. It's just like the pictures you made by running the simulation, but much much bigger. There are almost a BILLION squares in our simulation. In fact, we couldn't show you the whole picture: for each tiny dot in this picture the computer worked on over eight thousand squares.

Here is part of the crackling the computer says would have been made by a magnet like the one which made this picture.
