Structures on Gigaparsec Scales?
In the Dark [Unofficial]
July 2, 2026
It seems that the authors of the Nature paper, Francesco Sylos Labini and Marco Galoppo, misinterpreted the distances of galaxies in the DESI DR1 sample in a way which boils down to an error of a factor (1+z), where z is the redshift. This hugely amplifies and distorts the pattern of galaxy clustering. Using the correct comoving distance the measured structures are completely consistent with ΛCDM.
