Has the Universe a honeycomb structure?
Abstract
Description
Recent analysis of the distribution of clusters of galaxies is reviewed. Clusters of galaxies located in rich superclusters form a quasiregular lattice similar in structure to honeycombs. The power spectrum of clusters of galaxies has a sharp peak at wavelength 120 Mpc corresponding to the lattice step. The peak in the spectrum may be due to processes during the inflationary stage of the structure evolution.
