The Structure of the Universe Beyond 100 MPC

这一奖项是为了表彰对宇宙大尺度结构的研究。目前的观察显示，不均匀的规模比之前认为的要大得多。Szalay博士是一位著名的理论家，他将与许多专门研究这一领域的观察者合作，澄清和确认一些令人费解的数据，这些数据似乎表明物质在很远的距离上具有红移的周期性分布。这项拟议研究的成功可能会给我们对宇宙结构的理解带来重大进步。

This award is for the study of the large scale structure of the universe. Current observations show inhomogeneities on much larger scales than previously thought. Dr. Szalay, a leading theoretician, will work with a number of observers specializing in this area to clarify and confirm some of the puzzling data which seem to indicate periodic distributions of matter with redshift at great distances. The success of the proposed research may bring major advances in our understanding of the structure of the universe.
