Isn't that special; you, too, can live in a metagalactic blob.

Beware of the Blob!
It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides across the floor,
Right through the door, and all around the wall.
A splotch, a blotch, be careful of the Blob!
Burt Bacharach, 1958

"Something this large and this dense would have been rare in the early universe,"
I think impossible would be the correct adjective. I've never understood how an explosion blowing everything away from its origin can cause some of the things being blown away to be blown together.
I've yet to see a Pizza Parlor be blown into existence by a suicide bomber!
