Astronomers can use supercomputers to simulate the formation of galaxies from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago to the present day. But there are a number of sources of error. An international research team, led by researchers in Lund, has spent a hundred million computer hours over eight years trying to correct these. The last decade has seen major advances in computer simulations that can real

New twin research shows that innate IQ plays a major role in predicting your future socio-economic status. The study, which follows twins during the crucial early adult years, reinforces the view that heredity and genes shape our life opportunities – and the people we become. The saying “to be born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth” suggests that wealth and prosperity stem from the parents’ fortu
