> Many astronomers believe that the universe is dominated by cold 'dark
> matter' and 'dark energy' - a view that has been confirmed by recent
> measurements on the cosmic background radiation. Now, however, a group
> of astrophysicists in the UK has found that this radiation - the
> microwave 'echo' of the big bang - may in fact have been modified or
> `corrupted' as it passed through galaxy clusters on its way to Earth.
> The result could undermine previous evidence for both dark matter and
> energy (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 347 L67;
