Terskich (1955) was able to prove the same for non-linear oscillating Creation's Melody In the context of Global Scaling Theory, the hypothesis of the Big Bang appears in a new light. A propagating shock wave (pres- sure wave) in linear space (the echo of the hypothetical primeval explosion) is not the cause of cosmic microwave background radiation, but a standing pressure wave in logarithmic space is. It is also responsible for the fractal and logarithmic scale-invari- ant distribution of matter in the entire uni- verse. It created the universe as we know it, and recreates it continually.
