How does science work? And what's all this about quantum mechanics?

Is the universe controlled by gigantic structures?— NOVEMBER 18, 2019

Is the universe controlled by gigantic structures?
The idea that celestial objects exist within utterly immense cosmic structures is becoming inescapable.
/ Robby Berman /

New findings in astronomy are making some astronomers doubt our basic model of the universe.
Alignments of celestial objects suggest that they may be embedded in large-scale structures.
Galaxies too far apart to be influencing each other are moving through space together.

. . . in 1989 Margaret Geller and John Huchra, analyzing redraft survey data, discovered
the immense “Great Wall,” a “sheet” formed from galaxies many light years apart.
#
Though the bodies that comprise the structures are not gravitationally bound to each other —
the distances between them are too great — evidence is piling up that they are linked by something.
#
BILLIONS OF LIGHT YEARS APART
The most mind-blowingly distant synchronized motion was reported in 2014, when the rotation axes
of 19 super-massive black holes at the centers of quasars — out of 100 quasars studied — were found
to be in alignment, billions of light years apart.
#
Since the galaxies are too distant for their gravitational fields to be influencing each other,
Lee poses another explanation: That the linked galaxies are both embedded within the same, large-scale structure.
#
FLATNESS
Another puzzle suggesting the influence of large-scale structures has become clear over recent years.
It’s been observed that galaxies surrounding our own Milky Way are weirdly arranged in a single,
flat plane. Big-Bang thinking would suggest that they should be circling us at all different sorts of angles.
#
JUST THE BEGINNING
Certainly, imagining a vast arrangement of utterly gigantic structures in which galaxies are embedded
paints a very different picture of the universe, and one that makes one wonder if these structures are
themselves embedded in something even larger. In this mid-boggling case, we are indeed small enough
to see only the space between objects — in this case galaxies. We’ve been no more aware of them than
whatever it is that may be living between our own atoms.

1- The universe as whole is flat and cold.
2- All galaxies are embedded in the infinite structures of cosmic vacuum.
3- Gravity doesn't work on too big distant.
Gravity is local phenomena in the cosmic vacuum.

The size of things here could be that you human beings, and your whole observable universe, could all be within, for example, a child's soccer ball, which has been laying dormant in the backyard of that child's family home for about the last 13.7 billions years or so, when that ball was last kicked. That child, by the way, might only be about 17 billion years old of its 80 or so billion year life span.

And, that ball, child, and its observable universe might be within some other structure.

The size of you human beings and the scale that you adult human beings look at and observe things is so Truly insignificantly minute it really makes some wonder why you would even begin to think of "yourselves" as being somewhat important here.

"Since the galaxies are too distant for their gravitational fields to be influencing each other . . . "
This means that gravity (as previously thought) could not have created the Big Bang "singularity" (as the beginning of existence).
