Huge Lenses To Observe Dark Energy 121
Iddo Genuth writes "UK astronomers, as a part of the Dark Energy Survey collaboration, have reached a milestone in the construction of one of the largest ever cameras to detect dark energy by completing the shipment of the glass required for the five special lenses. Each step in the process of completing this sophisticated camera brings scientists closer to detecting the invisible matter that cosmologists estimate makes up around 75% of our universe."

If you smash your car into an invisible wall on a freeway, I'm sure you would be surprised since you didn't expect it. On the other hand those who are looking for invisible walls on freeways would be able to spot your lone smashed car on the freeway with their massive telescope and take a closer look.
They are trying to find that lone smashed up car in space.
