An international group of researchers has released the most in-depth wide-field map of three-dimensional distribution of matter in the universe ever made. The study suggests that the clumping of matter in the universe has happened more slowly than suggested in earlier estimates. From the Earth to superclusters of galaxies, the distribution of matter is not even but it is clumped with a vast void in between. Just at the nick of Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, all the matter and energy of the universe was concentrated in a single point. Once the universe commenced expanding, the distribution of mass and energy should have been even.
