Claims regarding solved problem edit

Latest comment: 10 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

The "Missing baryon problem" is far from being solved. Some of the matter was indeed located in the WHIM, some is still missing (specifically the hot phase) and efforts are made to find evidence of it.^[1]

The linked article (^[2]) is somewhat sensationalistic. Reading the provided scientific articles in said article shows the claim is that 30% of the total matter (about a third of the missing matter) was found.^[3]

I propose using softer language for this.

I think you're more of an expert than most, so feel free to edit the article yourself. Banedon (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

This article reads confusingly now. The second last section opens with 'In general, the missing baryon problem is a major unsolved problem in physics.'

The final section then ends with 'The missing baryon problem has been resolved but research groups are working to detect the WHIM using varying methods to confirm results.'

These two statements seem contradictory. Someone with expertise should edit to better describe the current consensus. 60.241.101.63 (talk) 05:00, 17 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

I haven't tried to review the overall literature, but based on the existing references (leaving aside that a youtube video is not a serious reference), I did a minor tidy on that paragraph and section name. Keep in mind WP:RELTIME.
