Large-scale Structure
Sky surveys and mappings of the various wavelength bands of electromagnetic radiation (in particular 21-cm emission) have yielded much information on the content and character of the universe's structure. The organization of structure appears to follow as a hierarchical model with organization up to the scale of superclusters and filaments. Larger than this, there seems to be no continued structure, a phenomenon that has been referred to as the End of Greatness.

Famous quotes containing the words large-scale and/or structure:
“Is an intelligent human being likely to be much more than a large-scale manufacturer of misunderstanding?”

“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?

May no lines pass, except they do their duty
Not to a true, but painted chair?”
