Abstract
It is shown that the interaction of large amplitude electromagnetic waves w ith a hot electron-positron (e-p) plasma (a principal constituent of the un iverse in the MeV epoch) leads to a bunching of mass, energy, and angular m omentum in stable, long-lived structures. Electromagnetism in the MeV epoch , then, could provide a possible route for seeding the observed large-scale structure of the universe.
