Abstract

At first, a review of our knowledge on the distribution of galaxies at large-scale,
leading to a foam-like large-scale structure of the Universe, is presented in the
Introduction. Then, it is shown how, according to the present theory for the formation
of superclusters, wave scalar perturbations of the same frequency traveling in
opposite directions give rise to standing waves, which cause a motion of the cosmic
material towards the nodes, resulting in the concentration of the cosmic material
around the nodes. Generalizing this effect to two (three) dimensions, the cosmic
material is concentrated around the node lines (node surfaces). It is proposed that the
three-dimensional effect is responsible for the foam-like large-scale structure of the
Universe.

1. Introduction

The first systematic study on the distribution of galaxies at large-scale was done
by . Abell in his doctoral dissertation at Caltech, and it was published in
Astrophysical Journal (Supplement Series) in 1958, under the title “The distribution
of Rich Clusters of Galaxies” (Abell, 1958). He found that galaxies are clumped in
clusters in general. A fact which was extracted from the data was that the surface
distribution of the centers of the clusters was not random, both when the clusters
considered belonged to all
