The solar system may be racing through space 3 times faster than expected. Is the standard model of cosmology wrong?

Astronomers have discovered that the solar system may be moving through the cosmos over three times faster than was previously theorized. The discovery could have implications for the standard model of cosmology, our current best model to explain the structure, composition and evolution of the universe. The team behind this research reached its conclusions using
