Corrections!!!!!!

And they call this science? At what point can these ideas be considered to fall 
into the realm of science?

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Astronomers have found some matter that had been 
missing in deep space and say it is strung along web-like filaments that form 
the backbone of the universe. 


    The ethereal strands of hydrogen and oxygen atoms could account for up to 
half the matter that scientists knew must be there but simply could not see, 
the researchers reported on Tuesday.

    Scientists have long known there is far more matter in the universe than 
can be accounted for by visible galaxies and stars. Not only is there invisible 
baryonic matter -- the protons and neutrons that make up atoms -- but there 
also is an even larger amount of invisible "dark" matter.

    Now about half of the missing baryonic matter has turned up, seen by the 
orbiting Hubble space telescope and NASA's Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic 
Explorer, or FUSE.

    "We think we are seeing the strands of a web-like structure that forms the 
backbone of the universe," said Mike Shull of the University of Colorado, who 
helped lead the study published in The Astrophysical Journal.

    The matter is spread as superheated oxygen and hydrogen in what looked like 
vast empty spaces between galaxies.

    However, observations of a quasar -- a bright object far off in space -- 
show its light is diffused much as a lighthouse can reflect on a thin fog that 
was invisible in the dark.

    "It is kind of like a spider web. The gravity of the spider web is what 
produced what we see," Shull said in a telephone interview. "It's very thin. 
Some of it is very hot gas, almost a million degrees."

    This is where the dark matter comes in. The dark matter is heating up the 
gas, Shull said.

    "Dark matter has gravity. It pulls the gas in," Shull said. "This causes 
what I call sonic booms -- shock waves. This shock heats it to a million 
degrees. That makes it even harder to see."

    The atoms of oxygen are in a stripped-down, ionized form. Five of the eight 
electrons are gone. It emits an ultraviolet spectrum of light that instruments 
aboard FUSE and Hubble can spot, Shull said.

    These web-like filaments of matter are the structure upon which the 
galaxies form, he said.

    "So when we look at the distribution of galaxies on a very large scale, we 
see they are not uniform," Shull said. "They spread out in sheets and 
filaments."

    Some faint dwarf galaxies or wisps of matter in these structures could be 
forming galaxies right now, the researchers said.

    Shull and colleagues said these webs of hydrogen and oxygen are too hot to 
be seen in visible light and too cool to be seen in X-rays.
