Cosmic Web May Rewrite Cosmology's Foundational Assumptions
New cosmological analyses using supernovae, galaxy surveys, and machine-learning reconstructions reveal small but persistent deviations from the standard FLRW description of a uniform, isotropic universe. If confirmed, these effects—potentially driven by Dyer-Roeder light propagation and cosmic backreaction from large-scale structures—could challenge the Lambda-CDM framework and require new physics or revisions of how space-time evolves, with future DESI, Euclid, and other surveys poised to test the results.
