Scientists believe that they may have found about half of the missing matter in the universe in the form of strands of baryons littering the (not so) empty void of inter-galactic space. They still need to find a shitload of WIMPS to make up the balance though. I still don't know if this means that the universe is going to expand forever until it nothing but cold (near absolute zero) emptiness or collapse back on itself compressing time and space back to nothing or nearly nothing. In either case I shall certainly be dead billions of years into the future when one of these cases is realised.
