Letter: Missing 4 per cent

Published 5 April 2003

From Simon Williams

We are told that only 4 per cent of the Universe is made of baryonic matter that we can observe, and that the remaining 96 per cent of the Universe is “missing” (22 March, p 40).

Perhaps someone or something else is sitting out there trying to figure out where the missing 4 per cent is.
