| Abstract: |
This overview paper describes how the discovery of superclusters dictated a bottom-up cosmic evolution in order to remain compatible with the big bang theory. Weaknesses of the concordance cosmology are pointed out and top-down cosmic evolution is explored as a plausible alternative. Top-down evolution requires an unconventional interpretation of red-shift phenomena and a greatly expanded cycle of creation on various scales. Top-down cosmologies may be too radical for conservative mainstream astrophysicists but their future prospects are brighter than the search for dark matter and dark energy.
