Missing matter still lost, as Fast Radio Burst not quite what it seems say researchers
... half of it appears to be missing (the so-called “missing baryons” problem). Some researchers are using cosmic microwave background (CMB) data obtained via WMAP to search for the missing matter in galactic disks and halos. This research...
