New universe map confirms Einstein's dark matter theory.

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have created the most detailed map of dark matter using the universe's first light, which shows the enormous matter tendrils that formed after the Big Bang. The shapes of these tendrils are remarkably similar to those predicted using Einstein's theory of general relativity. The new result contradicts previous dark matter maps that suggested the cosmic web is less clumpy than Einstein's theory predicted. The researchers suggest that additional maps made using the ACT's data and fresh observations from the Simons Observatory could finally resolve the perplexing cosmic mystery.
