One of the Universe’s Biggest Mysteries Has Been Solved, Scientists Say
Scientists have spotted the universe’s “missing matter” hiding in a vast cosmic web with some help from #fastradiobursts from deep #space.
Now, a team has revealed that about 76% of all #baryons—the ordinary #particles that make up planets and stars—exist as gas hidden in the dark expanses between galaxies, known as the intergalactic medium.

How particle physics will continue after the last collider After the last collider gets built, particle physics won't come to an end. Instead, it will return to its roots: looking at rare, high-energy cosmic rays made elsewhere in space. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #physics #space #particles

Big ThinkHow particle physics will continue after the last colliderWill we build a successor collider to the LHC? Someday, we'll reach the true limit of what experiments can probe. But that won't be the end.
