Abstract
We adopt a new result in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics to follow the time evolution of the density of an exploding one-dimensional gravitational gas. We show analytically that the resulting structure formation is a natural consequence of many-body physics.
Key words: instabilities 
galaxies:
formation
large-scale structure of Universe
