New discovery!! Student discovers the 'Giant Arc', which stretches 3.3 billion light-years across the cosmos... and shouldn't exist!

Romans 1:20

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

The discovery of giant super-clusters of galaxies are challenging our very understanding of the Universe.

In 2021, British PhD student Alexia Lopez was analyzing the light coming from distant quasars when she made a startling discovery.

She detected a giant, almost symmetrical arc of galaxies 9.3 billion light years away in the constellation of Boötes the Herdsman. Spanning a massive 3.3 billion light years across, the structure is a whopping 1/15th the radius of the observable Universe. If we could see it from Earth, it would be the size of 35 full moons displayed across the sky.

Known as the Giant Arc, the structure throws into question some of the basic assumptions about the Universe. According to the standard model of cosmology – the theory on which our understanding of the Universe is based – matter should be more-or-less evenly distributed across space.

When scientists view the Universe on very large scales there should be no noticeable irregularities; everything should look the same in every direction.

Yet the Giant Arc isn't the only example of its kind. These gargantuan structures are now forcing scientists to reassess their theory of how the Universe evolved.

i always marvel at how something found with a telescope is labelled as something "that shouldn't exist".

human hubris...can we even quantify it?

"Reassess their theory" !!!
They only say theory After they get it wroung.

they have Most of it wroung.

I have one thing to say. No, two.

1. God
2. Thunderbolts.info

Yup the gravity only paradigm of cosmology is rapidly being obliterated in favour of one in which cosmological structure at all levels is shaped primarily by electromagnetic plasma forces - and they are going to have to face the fact that the universe resembles nothing so much as a biological organism.

It's an electric universe.

Literally EVERYTHING in nature is formed based on fractal shapes. From DNA to galaxies, scale does not matter. This latest arc has counterparts to its fractal shape elsewhere that havent been identified yet. No doubt.

Genesis 1:1
In the Beginning God Created the Heavens and the Earth

Beginning - Time
Heavens - Space
Earth - Matter

how the heck can there be a "giant arc" stretching 3.3 billion light-years across the cosmos, when:

1. earth is flat and donut shaped with mercury and venus bobbing up and down through the donut hole

2. the sun is only 60 miles away, and its a flashlight hanging from a drone that does figure-8s in the sky

3. donut-shaped flat-earth has a tarp draped over it with pinholes for stars

4. the planets and the moon are holographic projections on the tarp

5. and "space" is fake

so please explain this fantasy sci-fi fairytale of a 3.3 billion lightyear "arc" stretching across the fake cosmos

I've been studying astronomy for decades.

It was very apparent at least two decades ago that the visible universe was structured a lot like a sponge.

I don't see how this is any kind of new revelation.

It should not be a surprise that a lot of the structure is continuous as the resolution of what they can see keeps going up.

Are liberal politics now coloring how "discoveries" are handled?

So what am I saying?

The premise presented that it's unexpected is BS. Given the data they had two decades ago they could have had as at least one hypothesis is that there was a lot more density than they could actually see.
