Based on the
Big Bang the Universe would have
started out with matter vary smoothly spread through out space,
there would have been just tiny variations that gravity
amplified to produce the galaxies and galaxy clusters seen to day.
Because of the expansion of space such structures should not
be more a few hundred million light years across. Recently
hyperclusters of galaxies have been discovered that are more than 3
billion light years across presenting a problem for the
Big Bang which already failed to
predict the accelerating expansion of the universe and now it’s
blown this one.
This raises the issue that since science is about testability and
theories are test by the accuracy of their predictions, how many
failed predictions will it take for the Big Bang to even be
questioned. The answer with regards to the scientific establishment
is that no number of failed predictions will ever dethrone the Big
Bang because it has reached the status of untestability since it is
always patched to fit reality no matter what ad hock invention it
takes to do it. Reference

hyperclusters are too big for the universe. |
