Dark matter, the mysterious substance believed to comprise a quarter of our Universe, is spread out more smoothly than
previously thought, said a study Wednesday that may challenge some tenets of physics.
The finding may throw into question what little we know about the birth and growth of the cosmos, astronomers reported.
"All we can say for now is that something appears to be not quite right," study co-author Konrad Kuijken of the Leiden
Observatory in the Netherlands told AFP.Studying the light of some 15 million distant galaxies with Europe's Very Large
Telescope (VLT) in Chile, Kuijken and a team found dark matter to be significantly "less clumpy" than previously shown by
the European Space Agency's Planck satellite.
