Abstract
Many aspects of a general theory of fluctuations can be guessed by studying a special, simple case — namely the behaviour of a spherical inhomogeneity in an expanding Friedmann universe filled with dust, i.e. zero-pressure matter.
“Worlds on worlds are rolling ever
From creation to decay
Like the bubbles on a river”
Sparkling, bursting, borne away.”
P. B. Shelley
