What evidence do we have that there is no structure in the universe on very large scale?

Answer 1

I think there Is structure, strings or filaments and voids between them.

It is true that the universe appears homogeneous in all directions beyond the local (super) group, but that isn’t the same.

Generally, it looks like this:

Which has random features, but structure too.

One piece of evidence for the lack of structure on very large scales in the universe is the isotropy and homogeneity of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Another piece of evidence is the large-scale distribution of galaxies, which appears to be fairly uniform when viewed on sufficiently large scales, indicating a lack of significant structures on those scales.
