18. In making this statement, we have to be careful insofar as the densities for superclusters are often extracted from the virial theorem with Λ = 0. Hence we have to trust that the "true" values of the densities are not very far from the quoted ones. Since for flattened systems as superclusters, A in Eq. (15) will be quite sizeable, it is still true that superclusters are most likely not in gravitational equilibrium unless we are ready to increase the presently known values of their densities by orders of magnitude.
