| In this case the amount of lithium produced is a sensitive function of the baryon to photon ratio, and therefore of the baryonic density of the Universe. |
| The baryonic matter that makes up the nuclei of atoms seems to provide only a small fraction of the total mass in the Universe. |
| The accurate measurement of the baryonic density achieved from the fluctuations of the Cosmic Microwave Background provided a value much higher than was predicted by the Spite plateau. |
| Most of this baryonic dark matter is expected to exist in the form of gas in and between the galaxies. |
| But the new study squares the balance sheet a bit in regards to baryonic matter. |
| Microlensed double-image quasars have sent a consistent message that the baryonic dark matter consists of a dark population of free-roaming planet mass objects. |
