Spiraling Magnetic Signal Shows Up In the Cosmic Background

pln2bz writes "Astronomers looking for confirmation for emissions from early stellar formation in the cosmic microwave background radiation instead found a signal indicating large amounts of unaccounted-for spiraling magnetic fields in space, but without any accompanying infrared emissions. The discovery possibly dredges up the claims of plasma cosmologists like Eric Lerner, who claim that the intergalactic medium is a strong absorber of the CMB with the absorption occurring in a fog of narrow filaments. These filaments are the result of plasma's natural tendency, as observed within the plasma laboratory and in novelty plasma globes, to form braided, ropelike structures which are collimated by coiled magnetic fields."

Shall we bend over with our upturned hinds towards the morning sun now?

Point goatse at the sun? Do you want to cause an ice age or something?

Is the Universe smaller than we thought because a black hole bigger than our own galaxy keeps us from seeing a lot?

What.. a goatse bigger than a galaxy? Eeewww! I do not want to follow that thought...
