Multiple Choice
According to the current understanding of cosmology, what is the origin of the foamy structure of the universe, with clusters of galaxies distributed on the perimeters of voids?
A) The early epoch of star formation caused the clusters of galaxies to repel one another, and the present distribution was the result.
B) The matter in the universe is now believed to be very smoothly distributed, just as it was after the Big Bang. What astronomers see as voids is really dark matter.
C) Quantum fluctuations in the early universe were greatly exaggerated during the epoch of inflation to become the uneven distribution astronomers now observe.
D) The universe was formed "clumpy" in the Big Bang, and the clumpiness persists to the present day.
