Since the content of the http://www.the-electric-universe.info/Scripts/filament.html link seems to me to be quite on the fringe, I replaced it with http://pil.phys.uniroma1.it/twiki/bin/view/Pil/GalaxyStructures, which also has nice pictures, a useful list of reverences, and seems to be a bit more sane [Marfisa].

Largest structures

On Superclusters: "No clusters of superclusters are known, but the existence of structures larger than superclusters is debated (see Galaxy filament)."

On Galaxy filament: "In physical cosmology, filaments are the largest known structures in the universe,..."

Do filaments exist or not? Are they or are they not the largest structures?

125.236.131.166 04:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC) They exist, and are the largest structures. See this article. (Which could probably be used as a citation for filament size, although I think it disagrees with the one in the article.) --Starwed 08:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
