Fast radio bursts were used as 'cosmic weigh stations' to find the sparsely distributed matter.

FRBs are extremely bright and short-lived radio signals that were first discovered in 2007. Because they are so short-lived, most of the first FRBs were only found in telescope data long after the event had passed, making tracing their source extremely difficult. While scientists do not know what could be producing these bursts, they appear to release huge amounts of energy—equivalent to what our sun produces in almost a century.

Macquart and colleagues were able to use these FRBs as"cosmic weigh stations." By measuring the distances of FRBs, they were able to work out the density of the universe."The discovery of fast radio bursts and their localization to distant galaxies were the key breakthroughs needed to solve this mystery," study author J. Xavier Prochaska, from the University of California Santa Cruz, said in a statement.

What matter does it mean ? I think that matter is part of DM, so it was normal consequency of an expanding movement of universe initiated by dark energy. In some part of galaxies DE has pushed off DM into intergalaxy space.

I blame Putin. According to media and the DNC he’s behind all badness everyday and everywhere......except when Hillary sold him uranium which was ok

If your theory predicts that there should be a lot more matter in the universe than is actually observed, it doesn't mean the matter is missing...it means your theory is garbage. That's how science is done, observation overrules ideas. Otherwise you're just doing philosophy.

Terrific. Now kindly return my keys and my sunglasses.

CDC Says Possibly 'Less Than Half' Of Positive Antibody Tests Are CorrectThe CDC has acknowledged that antibody tests used to determine if people have previously been infected with Covid-19 are not accurate enough to guide important policy decisions. This from the group who can’t count correctly - and who fails to update Covid data transparently. Anything to reduce the total number of possible infections Haha what a joke this technology has became. First they said we have a pandemic, then they said the testing kits are faulty and have an accuracy of less than 50%, so how initially it was a Pandemic? And now the antibody tests are inaccurate too 😂😂 62% of US deaths during WuFlu scamdemic in Dem Gov States representing 18% of US pop.
