New research by astronomers suggests that the conventional wisdom about the content of the universe may be wrong. Researchers looked at observations from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite to study the remnant heat from the Big Bang. The scientists found evidence that the errors in its data may be much larger than previously thought, which in turn makes the standard model of the universe open to question.
