Abstract
At the present time the distribution of matter in the universe is highly non-uniform (there are planets, the sun, stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies and so on). Astrophysists nowadays suggest that in earlier stages of the development of the universe there was no such non-uniformity. How did it come about? Zel’dovich in 1970 proposed an explanation of the formation of particle clusters that is mathematically equivilent to the analysis the formation of singularities of caustics.
