pln2bz writes "Astronomers looking for confirmation for emissions from early stellar formation in the CMB instead found a signal indicating large amounts of unaccounted for spiraling magnetic fields in space (NYTimes reg required), 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."
