A scenario of galaxy formation is outlined which is based essentially on the fact that the cosmic matter about 106yr after the end of the recombination period is a general relativistic Boltzmann gas very close to equilibrium. In this scenario the observed very small inhomogeneities of the background radiation lead to very sharply edged gas clouds in the centres of the inhomogeneities. The universe between the clouds is completely swept clean of matter. If one assumes the centres of the inhomogeneities to be axially symmetric, the mass spectrum of the clouds extends from the smallest globular clusters withM ≃ 105 M &sun; as the lower limit (spherical symmetry) up to the big spiral galaxies withM ≃ 1011 M &sun; as the upper limit (maximal flattening). The upper limit masses are extremely thin pancakes which contract within a time interval of about 2 · 109 years to the proportions of an ordinary spiral galaxy of today.
