Explanation:
What may appear fuzzy to some makes things crystal clear to others.
The cosmic microwave background radiation emanating from the
universe could only have the
above fuzzy pattern if it contained clear amounts of
dark matter and
dark energy.
The conclusion, based on a
detailed analysis of the temperature and spacing of the bumps,
was a surprise to those who felt that previous evidence for such a
strange universe,
based on observations of
distant supernovae,
was somehow inaccurate.
The measurements were made with a novel group of
microwave
telescopes in
Tenerife,
Spain called the
Very Small Array.
The bumps appearing above are some of the
oldest objects ever seen.
