Abstract
In relation to some interesting subjects in the process of evolution of the universe, the nature of Finsler space-time and its cosmological implications are discussed. It is shown that the natures of the universal evolution could be attributed to the geometric features of the Finsler space-time. Based upon the theory of the singularities and bifurcation of caustics in the 3-dimensional space, galaxy formation and the large scale structure of the universe are also discussed. Electrons in the hot gas created by pancake shocks can upscatter photons in CBR, causing spectral distortions, and the largest scale of pancake limited by COBE observation would be 20 Mpc atz = 5, and 80 Mpc atz = 1.
