We zoom out again, and we finds the filaments, the walls, arcs, and bubbles that make up the cosmic web. But what happens if we zoom out again. Well, we reach the end of greatness .

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These ...

In particular, they speculated that some vortex lines might extend beyond a single halo, connecting galaxies through the vast filaments of the cosmic web — the gigantic tendrils of dark matter that ...
