Gas between galaxies bolsters case for dark energy

More evidence still. Thanks.

Has anyone stated yet that dark energy is uniform?

Unfortunately this same gas, assumed to have these same properties, has three times failed to pass transfers proximity tests, in that quasars in the forground do not impact background quasars in the predicted manner:

It is curious that this strong, triplicated evidence the quasar constructs have failed is ignored, while "clumpyness" within these "fibers". which can just as easily be explained as a systemic error in the k-corrections is splashed out on the front pages.

Everyone following the herd instinct should be keenly aware that as soon as you use the new consensus DM/DE cosmology, the potential exists for this new distance factor to cause a converging and therefore correlating power function bias in all distant observations.

Virey et al., "Probing Dark Energy with Supernovae : a concordant or a convergent model?"

Only studies such as the transfers proximity effect, that have little dependance upon the chosen cosmology, should be considered unbiased affirmations (or in this case, a negator) to the current model.
