ah yes, IoT interoperability at its finest - when despite the common protocol, you still need a separate app per each device

reminds me of XKCD comics about 14 competing standards and by introducing a new one there are 15 of them now

…With all the ordinary #matter now accounted for, researchers were able to determine its distribution. About 76% resides in intergalactic #space, about 15% in #galaxy halos & the remaining 9% concentrated within #galaxies, primarily as #stars or #gas.

“We can now move on to even more important mysteries regarding the ordinary matter in the #universe. And beyond that: what is the nature of #DarkMatter & why is it so difficult to measure?”Connor said.

How did so much ordinary #matter end up in the middle of nowhere? Vast amounts of #gas are ejected from #galaxies when massive #stars explode in #supernovas or when supermassive #BlackHoles inside galaxies "burp," expelling material after consuming stars or gas
"If the #universe were a more boring place, or the laws of #physics were different, you might find that ordinary matter would all fall into galaxies, cool down, form stars, until every proton & neutron were a part of a star," Connor said.

Continued thread

Scientists previously had determined the total amount of ordinary #matter using a calculation involving light observed that was left over from the Big Bang event roughly 13.8 billion years ago that initiated the #universe. But they could not actually find half of this matter.
