Another cosmological Riddle
What could galaxies along the line of sight between Earth and distant objects like quasars have anything to do with those objects themselves? Yet in a remarkable finding, the sightlines to quasars seem to be four times less likely to be populated with galaxies than the sightlines to gamma-ray bursts. Odd? Believe it. “The result contradicts our basic concepts of cosmology, and we are struggling to explain it,†said Jason X. Prochaska (UC-Santa Cruz).
