Causal dynamical triangulation (CDT) is a lattice model of quantum gravity. In two space-time dimensions (instead of the four we live in) it gives us an exactly solvable model of quantum geometry, and therefore a nice toy model to play around with. The weird sea creatures in this short movie are in fact randomly generated two dimensional universes. To be precise, they are random triangulations appearing in the disk amplitudes (cup functions) in generalized CDT (check arxiv.org/abs/1302.1763). They all consist of a number of triangles of the order of 10000 and a boundary length between 50 and 800. The coloured bands represent constant time slices, which in this case have constant distance to the Big Bang (depicted by a black ball). All images are produced with the help of Mathematica®.
