General relativistic light propagation effects: new insight into cosmic voids, dark matter, dark energy, and Einstein's theory of gravity.

这个项目的目标是第一个开发新的方法，使之能够准确地研究光传播效应。这些方法消除了观测数据中的“噪音”(光传播效应)，使分析达到前所未有的准确性，并对暗能量的性质有了新的认识。同时，这些方法以噪声作为实际信号来测量宇宙的性质，特别是宇宙空洞(星系避开的宇宙中的地方)内的质量分布，将解决宇宙空洞内暗物质分布的问题。该项目旨在利用光传播效应在宇宙尺度上检验爱因斯坦的引力理论。

This project aims to be the first to develop new methods which will allow accurate study of light propagation effects. These methods remove the “noise” (light propagation effects) from observational data, resulting in unprecedented accuracy of the analyses and new insight into properties of dark energy. At the same time these methods use the “noise” as the actual signal to measure properties of the Universe, especially the mass distribution inside cosmic voids (places in the Universe avoided by galaxies), which will solve the problem of dark matter distribution inside cosmic voids. The project aims to use light propagation effects to test Einstein's theory of gravity at cosmological scales.
