Piece of Missing Cosmic Matter FoundI wonder what the guy at the lost and found at Grand Central would do if you walked up to the counter and asked if anyone had turned in your missing cosmic matter?

How did they even know it was missing?

I wonder if they will ever find the missing matter inside the liberal brain?

How did they even know it was missing?Because there it was- gone!

Now that they've solved the mystery of the missing baryonic matter, maybe they could solve the mystery of the missing sox.

Hope they find the missing Bill and Hillary files.

It is thought that these hot intergalactic hazes were created from material that did not fall into galaxies when they first formed more than 13 billion years ago.Stupid question time.
Why haven't these hot gases cooled off in the last few billion years, if they're in intergalactic space far from energy sources?

A similar baryonic haze, 150 times hotter than the sun's surface, was indirectly detected surrounding the Milky Way and connecting about three dozen other galaxies known collectively as the Local Group in 2003 by astronomers at Harvard and Ohio State Universities. Sooooooo what the hell is keeping the old (13 billion years) baryonic haze perking at 150 times hotter than the sun's surface all this time?

The missing part of this matter was thought to be a hot, ultra-thin gas haze of very low density between larger structures. Its hellacious temperature means that it only emits far-ultraviolet and X-ray radiation.A similar baryonic haze, 150 times hotter than the sun's surface, was indirectly detected surrounding the Milky Way
Puzzling
What keeps this ultra-thin gas haze of very low density so hot for 13 billion years?
One would think that only fusion could do this. But Physics as I understand it would require enormous pressures to sustain fusion reaction. Such pressures do not exist in the vacuum of space.
There must be physics at work here that we do not understand. Once we do I think our energy crisis is over.

If that were the case the sofa would be 2 feet into the room by now. But thanks for the suggestion ggg.

Apparently it is absorbing x-rays and re-emitting them as black body radiation. The temperature is based on the wavelenth.
I would think that only the missing matter in galactic halos are hot, and the "fillaments" between galaxies cooler. According to the simulations its like a big cobweb, with galaxies forming at the intersections.
