The primordial ripples of spacetime still dictate where galaxies form.

Invisible ripples from the birth of the universe change how galaxies group together. Especially strongly for distant objects, as if ancient waves dance on the fabric of the cosmos. A new method will capture the gravitational echo of the Big Bang through galaxy clusters.

🎯 If the gravitational waves from the Big Bang were slightly stronger, galaxies might have arranged themselves not in filaments and walls, but in giant rings and spheres.

🎬 In Carl Sagan's novel 'Contact', the heroine hears a message from another civilization through gravitational waves. Here, the waves themselves are a message from the infancy of the universe.
