Scientists find the universe’s missing ordinary matter (interesting story)

Interesting story.

There has long, been a discrepancy between what physicists say should be in the universe, and what has actually been observed.

A big discrepancy.

Turns out, scientists may have just found it.

This story is a video clip.

It is still tentative, but I think this sounds like a big discovery.

Just maybe.

Have honestly, often wondered why there was this huge amount of the universe's matter which was unaccounted for.

Maybe, just maybe, they found it.

Just as I thought, it was in the basement.

That is why they came up with the idea of dark energy and matter to explain the problems with the big bang. Remember you can’t see it, measure it, feel it, or detect it by any known means but we can say with 100% certainty that it is real.

The headline says “find.” The article says “may have found.” That’s dishonest, as most headlines are.
In reality, nothing has been found. Nothing was ever lost. Theories in use did not explain observations, so small-brained scientists claimed that there was “missing” matter. Nothing is or was missing, except the ability to think rationally among scientists.

Researchers have a good idea of where to find most of the ordinary matter in the universe—not to be confused with dark matter, which scientists have yet to locate: About 10 percent sits in galaxies, and close to 60 percent is in the diffuse clouds of gas that lie between galaxies.

...

An amazing statistic if you think about it.

Any astrophysicist worth their salt will tell you they get to a point where they JUST DONT KNOW! Yet.

So much for “dark energy”. Hint: anytime we don’t know they plug in a placeholder called “dark”. It’s not necessarily a thing itself. It’s just a measure of our ignorance.

30-50% error rate among theoretical physicists (personally I theorize its closer to 95%) is well within their margin for error.

Thank you.

On a side note, if you keep your room clean it’s a lot easier to find stuff.

Scientists find: should have stopped there.

In the new research, an international team pinned down the missing third, finding it in the space between galaxies. That lost matter exists as filaments of oxygen gas at temperatures of around 1 million degrees Celsius...


i.e. they’ve found hell. It’s between the galaxies.
