...It is clear that, if the ΛCDM model is the true underlying model of cosmology, the significance of the ISW effect will remain lower than some other cosmological probes; however, it represents nonetheless a unique signal which allows us to independently confirm the presence of dark energy through its impact on structure growth and potentially detect deviations in how gravity works to build cosmic structures...-----
"This work also tells us about possible modifications to Einstein's theory of General Relativity"
