New Map of Dark Matter Spanning 10 Million Galaxies Hints at a Flaw in Our Physics
An invisible force is having an effect on our Universe. We can’t see it, and we can’t detect it – but we can observe how it interacts gravitationally with the things we can see and detect, such as light.

Is it a flaw or is the new map more detailed so it’s more accurate

Perhaps one of these days I should add up the number of “hints” of new physics that I have seen. More than a dozen, certainly. All of them come to nothing.

I imagine it’s a way to get an otherwise standard paper some publicity

If I read the abstract correctly, the results do not differ significantly from the Lambda-cold-dark-matter results from the Planck spacecraft.
Which is good news.
The magnitude of error in this new study is noticeably more than for Planck results. So best to stick to Planck’s results for now.

And if they are wrong make them walk it those scurvy dogs
