- nighthawk454 4y agoThat's really interesting, thanks! Is it that if the early universe was initially even slightly non-uniform, then expansion and gravity would persist those "imperfections", forming the galaxy clumps we observe now?

- amai 4y agoThe tetraeders they are talking about in the article are a different name for 4-point correlation functions. The papers headline only mention 4-point correlation function, but the journalist must have decided, that this term is too technical for a pop-science article.
