It is suggested that inverse cascade that may occur in the turbulent cosmic medium can result in the formation of very large scale structures in the universe, upto the largest scales like the Great Wall. Again clustering of galaxies on all scales is interpreted to be due to these self-organisation processes occurring in a turbulent medium, the largest structures being anisotropic and nearly two dimensional, the smaller structures remaining isotropic. The observed fractal distribution of galaxies is also interpreted on this basis. The direct proportionality between the flow velocity and the linear dimension of the structure may show a way out of the dilemma of missing matter.
