Largest galaxy survey yet confirms that the Universe is not clumpy enough

"The six-year results from the Dark Energy Survey highlight unresolved tensions in standard cosmological theory."

"Astronomers have released the most ambitious cosmic map assembled so far, confirming that matter in the Universe is less clumpy than standard cosmological theory would predict."

The six-year results from the Dark Energy Survey present the most ambitious cosmic map assembled to date. The map indicates that matter in the Universe is less clumpy than predictions from standard cosmological theory. The discrepancy constitutes an unresolved tension between observations and theoretical expectations within current cosmological frameworks. The findings imply that key aspects of matter distribution at large scales may differ from model predictions, motivating further observational and theoretical work to reconcile measurements with the parameters and assumptions of standard cosmology.
