The transfer function of the baryon power spectrum from redshift z≈1100 to today has recently been, for the first time, determined from data by Pardo and Spergel. We observe a remarkable coincidence between this function and the transport function of a cold ideal Fermi gas at different redshifts. Guided by this, we unveil an infinite set of critical temperatures of the relativistic ideal Fermi gas which depend on a very finely quantized long-distance cutoff. The sound horizon scale of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) seems to set such a cutoff, which dials a critical temperature that is subsequently reached during redshift. At the critical point the Fermi gas becomes scale invariant and may condense to subsequently undergo gravitational collapse, seeding small scale structure. We mention some profound implications including the apparent quantization of Fermi momentum conjugate to the cutoff and the corresponding “gapping” of temperature.
