The Cosmic Spiderweb
Presented by Mark Neyrinck (Institute for Computational Cosmology, Durham University)
I will discuss our recent paper about the cosmic web as a conceptual as well as architectural framework to understand the large-scale structure. We discussed that in a particular good approximation, the cosmic web is exactly a "spiderweb", a spatial graph with geometric properties allowing it to be strung up entirely in tension. I will briefly suggest how this is related to origami as well, and how it could be used for cosmological tests.
