Detection and Characterization of Universal Patterns of Massive Filamentary Structures in the Early Universe: Implications for Revising the Standard Cosmological Model

Abstract

The recent discovery of the "Cosmic Vine" structure by the James Webb Space Telescope—a megastructure of 20 connected galaxies existing only 3 billion years after the Big Bang—suggests the possibility of a universal pattern of accelerated structure formation in the early universe. This work proposes a comprehensive research plan to systematically investigate the prevalence, characteristics, and physical implications of these structures, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of fundamental cosmology.
