Before the development of the inflationary universe scenario many cosmological problems of the standard hot universe theory remained unsolved. In particular, the origin of primordial density perturbations remained obscure.

We have suggested a scenario of fractal turbulence which might explain the origin of galaxies and the observed large scale structure of the universe (Liu and Deng, 1987). Under the condition of the early universe, the cosmic fluid can be regarded as incompressible. If we assume that the density perturbations in the early universe are adiabatic and have the scale-free Zeldovich spectrum, we may obtain the spectrum of the velocity perturbations. Perturbations with scales less than horizon will undergo dissipative process by Thomson scattering. So, the cosmic fluid can be considered as a viscous fluid (Peebles, 1971). We can find the largest and smallest scale of the perturbations in the cosmic fluid by taking account of the Reynold's number on given scale and the scale of horizon. Using the present values of Hubble constant and the mean density of matter, we have found that on the scale of horizon the Reynold's number is just the order of 102. This result shows that perturbations with scale a little smaller than horizon may produce Karman vortices before recombination and the vortices might form fractal turbulence due to Thomson drag.

As is known well, the inflationary universe model resolves most of the fundamental problems concerning the large scale structure of the universe and is now becoming a standard model for the early universe. However, there is one important problem yet to be made clear. In this model the number density of particles effectively goes to zero during the inflation and everything is created after the universe is heated up again at the end of inflation. Since the reheating temperature is much lower than the GUT temperature in general, however, it is not clear whether the observed baryon asymmetry is generated in this process.

Single Statement

The God-father of psychoanalysis Professor Sigmund Freud taught us that the behaviour of adults depends on their early childhood experiences. in the same spirit, the problem of cosmological analysis is to derive the observed present day situation and structure of the Universe from certain plausible assumptions about its early behaviour. Perhaps the most important single statement about the large scale structure is that there is no structure at all on the largest scale − 1000 Mpc and more. On this scale the Universe is rather uniform, structureless and isotropically expanding - just according to the simplified pictures of Einstein-Friedmann……. Humason, Hubble…. Robertson, Walker. On the other hand there is a lot of structure on the scale of 100 or 50 Mpc and less. There are clusters and superclusters of galaxies.

The evidence for the existence of very large scale structures, ∼ 100h−1Mpc in size, as derived from the spatial distribution of clusters of galaxies is summarized. Detection of a ∼ 2000 kms−1 elongation in the redshift direction in the distribution of the clusters is also described. Possible causes of the effect are peculiar velocities of clusters on scales of 10–100h−1Mpc and geometrical elongation of superclusters. If the effect is entirely due to the peculiar velocities of clusters, then superclusters have masses of order 1016.5M⊙ and may contain a larger amount of dark matter than previously anticipated.
