New Map Of Universe May Poke Holes In Existing Model

Over 150 researchers created a new map of how the universe is structured. It revealed that the standard model of the universe might not be as supported as it was previously thought.

According to the current Standard Model of Cosmology, (SMC), the following is true: “Big Bang” The universe was created using pure energy. It contained approximately 5% of ordinary matter, 27% dark material, and 68% dark energie. The new map shows that there is six times more dark matter in the universe than visible matter. “clumpy” As you may have suspected.

“It seems like there are slightly less fluctuations in the current universe than we would predict, assuming our standard cosmological model anchored to the early universe,” astronomer Eric Baxter from the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy . “The high precision and robustness to sources of bias of the new results present a particularly compelling case that we may be starting to uncover holes in our standard cosmological model.”

SMC asserts that gravitational interactions of ordinary matter, light matter, and dark matter are described by The General Theory of Relativity. This theory states that the universe can be homogeneous and isotropic at cosmic scales. Points out.

“Unfortunately, both the SMPP (Standard Model of Particle Physics) and the GTR are considered to be incomplete in the sense that they do not provide any understanding of several empirical observations,” Robson also notes that the SMPP “does not provide any understanding of the existence of three families or generations of leptons and quarks, the mass hierarchy of these elementary particles, the nature of gravity, the nature of dark matter” While the GTR “does not provide any understanding of the Big Bang cosmology, inflation, the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, the nature of dark energy.”

The Dark Energy Survey (DES), as well as South Pole Telescope, were used by the research team. The SPT has a greater range than the DES. It maps radiation left over from Big Bangs, which is called Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

“It functions like a cross-check, so it becomes a much more robust measurement than if you just used one or the other,” Chihway Chang was an astrophysicist from the University of Chicago who worked with Baxter.

“Determining whether hints of problems in the standard cosmological model are real or just chance fluctuations will require more data,” The University of Hawaii acknowledged this.
