There's absolutely no evidence for this whatsoever. A cursory look at any population of galaxies, anywhere in the universe and you will find random orientations of the galaxies. They point in every direction. The most obvious example being our own Local Group. If you follow the EU thesis, the centre of our galaxy should be in line with M31, M33 and all the others, and these in turn should be lined up with the galaxies of the Virgo Cluster and Supercluster. At least to those that belonged on the same filament (which would be the majority of them), along which our common motion through space was directing us.

Carl I recall reading that a study showed the galaxies studied did in fact line up like buttons on a string.
I have tried to find the article but no luck..had it on my old lappy but it is no more..The article was in science daily or something similar and seemed most reasonable and not a crackpot guess..
I raised it some time ago here but no one thought it curious at all .... I am not bringing it up to support EU but I think there is support for the line up thing ...there was an article and artists impressions so I doubt it was not "scientific"
. But if the line up is as I recall and from valid observation I felt you may care to know about it I am sorry I cant provide a link.
When I read about it I was set to wondering why and asked same in a post ..
All I wonder is have you heard of such a study?
