The authors use Dark Energy Survey data on galaxy clustering and lensing from the first three years of observations combined with five prominent external datasets. They robustly constrain six potential extensions to currently prevalent cosmological paradigm \ensuremath{\Lambda}CDM (Cold Matter a constant). All would add significant new physics, such as deviations General Relativity or non-zero spatial curvature, but no evidence for physics is found.
