Chapter 21, Problem 45EAP
To determine

The expected average number of galaxies similar in size to the milky way in cubes of side-length of 10 million light years, if cosmological redshift=3 corresponds to an era when the average distance between galaxies was one quarter of its current value. Given that for the present-day universe, each cube of same size would contain on average, about one galaxy with a size comparable to that of a milky way and with the assumption that number of galaxies of each type has not changed between then and now. The expected change in frequency of collisions.
