Example of Cartwheel galaxy

The Cartwheel galaxy and its accompanying galaxies are, in fact, embedded inside a larger structure, which has an appearance of a Cartwheel in turn. This large structure is at least ten times bigger in diameter than the Carthweel galaxy itself. This Maxi-Cartwheel structure reveals a complex knitting of filamentary structures, which hide behind an apparently empty dark sky. This complex knitting hides a universal pattern in the cosmos, which hides the mystery of the creation of the universe.

The universe seems to create structures by embedding a universal pattern within each other. The large pattern carries a similar pattern in its womb as its daughter. The daughter in turn carries a similar pattern as its daughter, who in turn carries even smaller copy of the pattern in its womb and so on. One can see this hierarchical building of cosmic structures in the Cartwheel galaxy.

Inside the nucleus of the Cartwheel galaxy one can discover smaller and smaller structures, which resemble the large pattern, which is revealed in the dark field of the sky around the galaxy. There seems to exist a rule which the universe, when constructing the cosmic structures, does not seem to violate. The rule involves scaling and rotation - more like rings inside rings. These rings have “spokes” or tentacles. Some of the tentacles move outward and some point inward. With the outward tentacles the rings get connected with the even larger rings, inside which they themselves are embedded. Using the inwardly pointing tentacles they connect with the smaller rings existing in their own wombs. This hierarchical way of building a grand pattern by enwombing the same design in larger and larger, as well as smaller and smaller scales, seems to be a universal characteristic of structure formation in the cosmos.

This hierarchical building method of the universe can be seen in the Cartwheel galaxy, by exploring deeper and deeper within the nucleus of the galaxy. At the deep heart of the nucleus one finds the design, which appears to be a spiral. This spiral structure lies at the foundations of all turbulence we observe around us on Earth. In fact, the Maxi- Cartwheel structure, which embeds the Cartwheel galaxy as a small structure near its center, is nothing but a complex knitting of filamentary flows, which universally form the structures of all turbulent flows. The structure we see on the above right hand side image is a typical structure one very often sees in different galaxies one may observe. NCot only in galaxies even in clusters of galaxies and superclusters one can see this structure to appear again and again.
