Large scale cosmic instabilitySpectral distortions in cosmic background radiation can create instabilities in matter, whose possible role in generating large scale structure is outlined here. A promising physical mechanism is sketched, based on Ly-alpha resonance scattering, with exponentially amplifies perturbations in neutral hydrogen density on large scales after recombination.
