I reread it and still feel it's misleading. Maping the effects of what is *presumed* to be dark matter is much different than mapping "dark matter in startling detail."

This article does not state that the universe is infinite, so I don't think that is a correct assumption to make in this case.
If they do not presume the universe to be infinite, I'd be much more interested in their evidence of a finite universe.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
