Another famous supercluster, known as the Great Wall, is a sheet of galaxies 250 million light years away.   It measures 200 million by 600 million light years in area with a thickness of only 20 million light years.   About 10¹⁶ solar masses the Coma-Hercules superclusters make up the bulk this wall.   In the schematic below only part of the great wall--the Coma supercluster--is visible.   The Hercules cluster (composed of Abell clusters A2147, A2151 and A2152) is not pictured in the schematic but it would be up above and adjacent to the coma supercluster.

    Stellar maps, published in 1986, were a great surprise to the astrophysicists.  They had expected to find relative uniformity above the scale of the already-familiar galaxy clusters. Instead, the first surveys showed--and subsequent surveys have confirmed--that great clusters of galaxies are arranged in thin sheets or long filaments.   The longest sheet detected, called the "Great Wall," extends hundreds of millions of light years across the maps.

    Large-scale structure in the universe in the northern and southern galactic hemispheres. Each of the 9,325 points in this image represents a galaxy.  The Earth lies at the center; unmapped regions to the top and bottom are inaccessible because the plane of the Milky Way obscures them.  Note the large-scale patterns in both hemispheres, like the Great Wall stretching across the northern hemisphere.

    This 3D presentation of the CFA Galaxy Catalogue shows where the main concentration of galaxy clusters are in our observable universe.

Our Milky Way galaxy is at the very center.  On this plot only galaxies from the most dense regions are shown.  The red circles show the location of galaxy clusters which were taken from the ACO Catalog.  The Great Wall is the semi-circle of galaxies at the top right part of the graph.  Note that it contains several red circles of clusters. Two of them are the Coma and Hercules superclusters.
    Of course, the question to be answered is HOW?  How could something so immense, so close and a total anomaly, exist under the present inflation theory, when only intermediate granularity can be expected?
    Within the framework of the present Standard Model, there is no explanation at all for something like this, yet under the Standard Model II, such an anomaly suggests a rift has occurred, an unbelievable tearing of one surface in a universe of a staggering number of surfaces within this finite region of space!  Because of this rift, the transmission of all nuclear-gravitational forces are disrupted, leading to what one might presume to be an incessant drift of matter towards the epicenter of the tear (now 600 million light years long), which as a matter of chance slowly continues to lengthen.
    Such a possibility as this seems unlikely, it not theoretically impossible, implying a fundamental topological variance to the rule.  How, one must ask, could surfaces as merely form and not structure, tear in the first place?
    It would seem too, unlikely that gross mass objects might convene in the direction ot the tear, but rather be drawn apart, because of a slight absence of IDDI unable to be carried across this rift by the one surface involved, in this case by an attractive IDDI.  If one were to consider also this impact on close range nuclear forces and electromagnetic forces of repulsion, a general drift of matter in the direction of the tear from all directions around it, is more likely.
   It also seems clear that both theoretically and observationally, such a tear can never mend itself;  the Great Wall being here to stay forever;  a permanent reminder of why the Big Bang hypothesis is incorrect.
