The Missing Baryon Problem (The Zoo Hypothesis)
Despite the robust constraints derived from BBN and CMB, direct counting of observed baryonic matter—stars, galaxies, visible hot gas—accounts for only about $10\%$ to $15\%$ of the predicted $\Omega_b$. This significant discrepancy is known as the Missing Baryon Problem.
The resolution lies in the distribution of these baryons across cosmic structures, much of which resides in extremely di…
