The Incas had a system of accounting that relied on the quipu. Cords of various colours were attached to a main cord with knots. The number and position of knots as well as the colour of each cord ...

Quipu, Hercules, Serpens–Corona Borealis and Sculptor–Pegasus are all larger than the fifth and final superstructure highlighted in the study, the Shapley supercluster, which had previously held the ...

With a length of 428 megaparsecs, or around 1.39 billion light-years, the superstructure is the biggest ever spotted.

The superstructure "Quipu," recently identified, spans 1.3 billion light-years, challenging our understanding of the distribution of matter in space. This discovery, resulting from a study published ...

The name Quipu was borrowed from a counting system from the ancient Incan Empire that involved knotted ropes, similar to the structure of Quipu (just swap out ropes for massive galaxies ...

The newfound structure is dubbed Quipu after an Incan system of counting and storing numbers using knots on cords. Like a Quipu cord, the structure is complex, made up of one long filament and ...

After an Incan system of counting and storing numbers using knots on cards, the newly found structure is dubbed Quipu, reported Space.com. Made up of one long filament and multiple side filaments ...
