TL;DR Summary
A few days ago a new dark energy map was published, which some claim "strays from Einstein's theory of relativity". Why is this so?
A few days ago a new dark energy map was published, which some claim "strays from Einstein's theory of relativity".

To quote from the BBC News website:
"Dr Niall Jeffrey, of École Normale Supérieure, in Paris, who pieced the map together, said that the result posed a "real problem" for physics.

"If this disparity is true then maybe Einstein was wrong," he told BBC News. "You might think that this is a bad thing, that maybe physics is broken. But to a physicist, it is extremely exciting. It means that we can find out something new about the way the Universe really is."

Has this new map made a significant change to how we view cosmology, in particular Einstein's theory?

There was a short discussion about this, a few threads below.
 
It was a dark matter map. There is no dark energy map.
