TL;DR Summary

Scientists at the South Pole Telescope in Antarctica have analyzed initial data from their upgraded camera, SPT-3G, which captures remnant light from the universe's early formation. Their findings, published in Physical Review D, include the first measurements of gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background, offering insights into the early universe and dark matter. The research, led in part by Argonne National Laboratory, suggests that our current understanding of gravity holds true for large scales and will aid in probing cosmic inflation. The study hints at even more powerful future insights about the nature of our universe.
