Name for the distribution of matter?

[Brian Turner]

TL;DR

There's more small stuff than big masses in the universe. Did anyone ever give this trend a name?

I'm presuming some antiquarian noticed that there tends to be loads of tiny mass objects in the universe than huge mass objects. I'm presuming someone somewhere put their name to a trend about this distribution of matter. However, I'm struggling to find a name for it - if there is one. Can anyone help?

Define "huge" and "tiny". To an ant, a pebble is "huge".

The universe was not designed to be defined simply using our scale.

Careful not to mix it up with the statistical one on the distribution of digits in documents.

Not sure this is exactly what the OP is referring to. In answer to OP, there has to be (fewer large things that small things), because the large ones are made of multiple small ones.
