given everything we already know about the fabric of spacetime, this makes sense. Every time we expect there to be an even distribution, we find more structure.

given everything we already know about the fabric of spacetime, this makes sense. Every time we expect there to be an even distribution, we find more structure. So if something like dark energy is the driver of the expansion, and there is an unequal distribution of that, then this would be an expected outcome. But of course, without this new data it would be difficult to believe!
