GAHD Posted September 24, 2018 Report Posted September 24, 2018 "By studying the behavior of the quasar beams as they passed through intergalactic space, scientists got a sense of where these missing baryons might be located. Next, the researchers pointed the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton satellite in the direction of the elusive baryons."- https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2018/06/21/Astronomers-find-remainder-of-universes-missing-ordinary-matter/6611529585511/Did not expect it to be Oxy. I was thinking more carbon or lithium. Apparently my understanding of historical stellar fusion events needs to be updated. To-do list back up to 99 problems... exchemist 1 Quote
Vmedvil2 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) These are still ordinary particles being Baryons, I think you misread this post these are still ordinary matter that are "Missing" being oxygen. Dark matter would not be considered as a Baryon or Boson, possibly a Lepton or Meson, while there maybe dark matter bosons that give dark matter mass like a Dark Higgs boson, because if oxygen was Dark Matter then the Dark Matter would still react to Electromagnetic Radiation/Photons.
