"Unveiling the Universe's Clumpiness: X-ray Survey and Dark Matter Insights"
Cosmologists are using the eROSITA X-ray survey of galaxy clusters to measure the clumpiness of the Universe, aiming to resolve discrepancies in previous measurements. The data shows that the distribution of matter is consistent with the cosmic microwave background, easing tensions and confirming the Standard Cosmological Model. Additionally, the survey provides insights into the mass of neutrinos, potentially leading to a breakthrough in measuring their total mass. The extensive survey data offers a new perspective on the distribution of matter in the Universe and presents a significant discovery potential.
