Juliana Martins
The structure of a quipu is simple and straightforward; its principal parts include a main (or primary) cord, top cords (not always present), pendant cords, subsidiary cords, and of course, a number of knots.
Astronomers Discover Largest Known Structure in the Universe Named Quipu
NewsMinimalist
Astronomers have discovered the largest known structure in the Universe,named Quipu,which contains 200 quadrillion solar masses. This superstructure is over 400 megaparsecs long, equivalent to more than 1.3 billion light-years. Quipu and four other newly identified superstructures hold meaningful portions of the Universe’s matter, including …

This entity,which we named Quipu,is the largest cosmic structure discovered to date. These superstructures contain about 45% of the galaxy clusters, 30% of the galaxies, 25% of the matter, and occupy a volume fraction of 13%, thus constituting a major part of the Universe. The galaxy density is enhanced in the environment of superstructures …

The study noted that future research could explore how these large-scale structures have influenced galaxy evolution. While these structures are temporary, as the universe’s expansion gradually pulls clusters apart, their immense size makes them significant.“In the future cosmic evolution, these superstructures are bound to break up into several collapsing units. They are thus transient configurations. But at present they are special physical entities with characteristic properties and special cosmic environments deserving special attention,” the researchers observed.
Thus,the five superstructures also account for 45% of the galaxy clusters,30% of the galaxies,and 25% of the matter in the observable universe,making up 13% of the universe’s total volume.
The study has been published in the open-access pre-print website arXiv.
A Breakthrough in Cosmology: The Revelation of Quipu
Interviewer: Alexa Thompson, news correspondent
Guest: dr. Ana fortifications, lead astronomer on the Quipu project
Alexa Thompson: Dr. fortifications, can you start by explaining what “Quipu” is in the context of this recent discovery?
Dr. Ana fortifications: Of course, Alexa. In astronomy, a Quipu is the latest discovered vast structure in the universe. It’s a superstructure that contains approximately 200 quadrillion solar masses. This structure spans over 400 megaparsecs, which translates to more than 1.3 billion light-years.
For more on Quipus, read about Inca quipus as well.
alexa Thompson: That’s staggering. how does this discovery relate to our understanding of cosmic matter distribution?
Dr. ana fortifications: Indeed, it does. This superstructure and the four others identified hold notable portions of the universe’s matter. Together, they account for 45% of the galaxy clusters, 30% of the galaxies, and 25% of the matter in the observable universe.This amounts to 13% of the universe’s total volume. The presence of these superstructures is providing invaluable insights into how the universe’s matter is distributed and how vast cosmic structures influence each other.

Alexa Thompson: Thanks so much, Dr. fortifications,for breaking down these complex concepts. For those interested in digging deeper,where can they find your complete study?
Dr. Ana fortifications: Thank you, Alexa. Our study is available on the open-access pre-print website arXiv. Anyone interested in more detailed scientific findings and analysis can access our research there.
