TL;DR Summary

Scientists are studying the primordial soundwaves, known as baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs), that rippled through the early Universe to gain insights into the mysterious force of dark energy. These soundwaves, formed by the tug of war between gravity and radiation pressure, left a permanent imprint on the distribution of matter in the Universe. By analyzing the BAO patterns, astronomers can measure the effects of dark energy and understand how it has changed over time. Projects like the Bingo radio telescope are being developed to map hydrogen distribution and study BAOs, providing valuable information about the early Universe and cosmological evolution.
