From what I can tell, this basically also proves that large scale plasma exists between all bodies at any scale (planetary to systems to galaxies to clusters), and universe sized Birkeland currents exist; which is something cosmologists have been trying to prove/disprove for awhile.
So, not only did they find some of the missing matter, they found some of the missing energy, too. This does, however, screw some of the more classical cosmologists.
