I want to “make propaganda” for some calculations carried out at Cornell; a detailed paper is available on this work (Hoffman, Salpeter and Wasserman 1982, hereafter HSW), so I only summarize it briefly (Sect. 2) and concentrate mainly on implications. Like previous work by Peebles (1982) and by Occhionero et al (1982), these calculations use spherically symmetric models without dissipation for the dynamical development of large voids and galaxy clusters (and superclusters) from small underdensities and overdensities, respectively, at the recombination era. We now know how this development depends on various parameters and on the asymmetries between over- and under-densities. I discuss conjectures for more complex geometries in Sect. 3.
