Die Hälfte des Wasserstoffgas des Universums, das lange nicht berücksichtigt wurde, wurde gefunden

If there is so much more ionized hydrogen than had been thought, doesn’t that throw off all calculations of distance to celestial objects that depend on the dispersion measure? There is some known amount of interstellar matter, and that is taken into account in dispersion measures, but this hydrogen would throw all those calculations off, wouldn’t it?

„Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.“ – Frank Zappa
