"If this new result is correct, then we need to find the mechanism that causes the variation and that might mean a brand new theory, which makes this so exciting."DESI will continue to take more data over the next two years, with plans to measure roughly 50 million galaxies and other bright objects, in an effort to nail down whether their observations are unequivocally correct.

"We're in the business of letting the Universe tell us how it works, and maybe it is telling us it's more complicated than we thought it was," said Andrei Cuceu, a postdoctoral researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, in California.
