For everyone talking about the expansion of the Universe, that’s not what this is about. The Universe is still expanding, at an accelerating rate. This work is about the rate of structure formation (the large-scale clumpiness of matter) being slowed down, not the expansion of spacetime.

If I’m thinking of this right, yes, and it’s like they have less than we thought and aren’t splitting up into “droplets” (clusters of galaxies) as fast as we think they should be.

I hate this kind of titles that try hard to make science sound esoteric. Science is exciting enough by itself!
