I've been going over the discussions here about the megastructure of the Universe and have found an utter subservience to the BB Theory, whose alleged proofs all have alternate explanations, so instead of including the following as a reply on one of those threads I had to use it to start a new one. Is it necessary to list those other, well-known explanations?
Who is to say that one theory is more "speculative" than another one ? One man's proof is another's garbage. Modern-day cosmology is all quite speculative because we're groping in the dark. Mainstream cosmologists are guilty of arrogance and tyrannical tendencies.
The following thought experiment I came up with in order to counteract one of the Bigbangers' "proofs" --that far away in all directions we see a different sort of Universe that shows its early, more violent stages-- hints at the ultra-mega-macrostructure of our Universe.
Imagine that the Universe is infinite, as the Steady-State Universe is supposed to be. (Is this other theory more outrageous than the dominant one?) Next, imagine that someone who lives in that supposedly early Universe has a superpowerful telescope that allows him or her to see our neighborhood, and also BEYOND it, over to where again he'll surely find a sector similar to his, since that's what we see all around us if we look deeply enough. He'll find us sandwiched between two similar or identical regions. If his telescope allows an even greater reach he might discover that there are alternating regions of those two types, in an endless successsion. If this is to be seen in all directions then the conclusion would be that there are bubbles of one kind of space region in a surrounding matrix, like raisins in a pudding. It would be hard to find out which kind of region is the matrix and which is the bubbles.
The deep-field images, then, would be suggesting that, at the very least, we're in a bubble surrounded by a homogeneous region, and the spongelike structure that was discovered recently would be merely a local distribution of matter within our bubble. It might be that the faraway Universe is not homogeneous but also spongelike or has some other kind of pattern in it.
It was thought experiments like this one that led to an einsteinian revolution in cosmology, so all I'm doing is following in others' footsteps.
