- the path length of the filamentary structures detected to date, are in the order 10-14.6 Mpc in length!
These filaments must be close to infinite conductivity, and thereby resulting in giant intergalactic frozen-in magnetic fields !

My God!!!!...don't let the sparkyboys know about this!!!
They'll ignore the rest of the data and zero in on this
