"Structures cosmiques : une famille de géantes"

I was yesterday on France Culture to talk about the discovery of the Quipu Supercluster and other large scale structures.

Human hair khipus reveal Inca record-keeping was used by both elites and commoners
 
A recently studied 500-year-old Inca khipu (Quipu) has overturned assumptions about who created these intricate thread-based documents. The study, published in Science Advances, suggests that khipus—formerly thought to be the domain of high-level imperial officials—were also made by non-elite members of society...

I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Alexandre Morales for France Culture, to talk about the discovery of Quipu, one of the largest known structure of the Universe. It will air tomorrow morning at 6:52.

Here is the press release by the authors of the discovery at MPI Garching https://www.mpg.de/24197951/largest-superstructure-in-the-nearby-universe

Probably the biggest discovery in recent times.

#Quipu
#LargestStructure in #Universe
13,000 times the length of #MilkyWay discovered
Superstructure spans an astonishing 1.3 billion light years across

Astronomers have spotted the largest known object in the universe.

The Quipu superstructure is enormous, spanning 1.4 billion light years – and it could violate one of our fundamental assumptions about the universe.

Hans Böhringer at the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich and his colleagues have named this cosmic structure Quipu after an Incan counting system made from knotted rope.

"They're so massive they challenge our understanding of how our Universe evolved."

"Our" is doing some *very* heavy lifting here. 🫠

This makes my brain hurt.

Among the five most prominent superstructures found, the largest has a length longer than 400 Mpc with an estimated mass of about 2 10e17 Msun. This entity, which we named #Quipu, is the largest cosmic structure discovered to date.

Un #quipu #inca au musée d’art pré-colombien de #Santiago. Il est énorme : on y trouve des données qui s’étendent sur plusieurs années. On sait lire les nombres du quipu, mais on ne sait pas à quoi ils se rapportent. Des statistiques démographiques ? La production agricole ? On ne le sait pas ! Est-ce que c’est cela, finalement, la complexité du #BigData ? https://aleph.land/media/NOkPOBhNjFCkLL-z-g4
