Search for intergalactic magnetic fields and implications

The ongoing search for intergalactic magnetic fields using blazar observations suggests field strength in the 10-14 to 10-17 G range on tens of Mpc length scales. Such fields can have important implications for the early universe and also raises some puzzles.
