Limits RegistryPUBLIC RECORD
Limits RegistryThe Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, identified in 2013-2014 by István Horváth, Jon Hakkila and Zsolt Bagoly from a clustering of gamma-ray bursts at redshift around 2, is estimated to span roughly 10 billion light-years — about a ninth of the observable universe's diameter. Its reality is debated, since it is inferred from a statistical excess of a few dozen bursts and challenges the expected scale of cosmic homogeneity.

The greatest extent claimed for any coherent large-scale structure identified in the observable universe.
Change a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
This record has no editable parameters. Read the formal question and assumptions before challenging it.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.
