<br />in "Dark Matter,...", you hypothesized that such very large-scale structures could actually be waves on a very large scale.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">I would no longer make that conjecture today. I was influenced by the notion of "Great Walls" that was popular at the time DM was first written in 1992.
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">I recall that electromagnetic charge is quantized. Noting the quantization of redshift and the possibility of megascopic forces in the universe, I wonder if redshift could be the analog of electric charge for this megascopic force.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Yes, I could accept that as an analogy showing that "quantization" from whatever cause is something that characterizes all scales. However, I doubt this analogy could be made to work in any greater detail. "Megascopic force" will surely be as different in its details as the other types of forces are from one another. -|Tom|-
