Scientists found that the dark matter of the Universe is distributed differently than it was expected immediately after the Big Bang. According to the latest observations, dark matter is now less than “heap”, which indicates possible problems in the standard cosmological model. These conclusions, published in five articles ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 ) in the journal Physical Review D, strengthen the so-called voltage of Sigma-Varos (S8).
Michael Strauss, an astrophysicist from Princeton University, noted: “We still do not claim that modern cosmology is completely erroneous. Statistics show that the probability of an accidental coincidence is only one of 20 cases, which is a convincing, but not final evidence.”
Researchers analyzed various data sets from the distant universe, including cosmic microwave background radiation (CMPI) and a six-year research data conducted using the Hyper Suprime-Cam tool on the Subaru telescope in Hawaii. Thus, they mapped the distribution of dark matter.
Rochi Dalal, an astrophysicist from Princeton University, notes: “This distortion is very insignificant, but, studying it in 25 million galaxies, we can measure it with high accuracy.”
