Discrepancy between the growth rate of structures predicted by general relativity during the expansion of the universe would be a smoking gun for New Physics. Structure develops as gravitational collapse competes with an expanding universe.

Remnant structure from early sound waves Cosmic Microwave Background Transverse "wave" Longitudinal "wave" The spectrum of “wavelengths” in the distribution of matter (galaxies) tells us how the frozen in pattern of early sounds waves has evolved with universal expansion.
