Another small step...
Unless somethings dramatically more pop out of this discovery, it still leaves a huge deficit of matter (or other "stuff") that can account for our observations, at least based on what we think we know.
I'm basing my comment on this part of the report: "...Baryons are protons, neutrons, and other subatomic particles that make up ordinary matter such as hydrogen, helium, and heavier elements. Baryonic matter forms stars, planets, moons, and even the interstellar gas and dust from which new stars are born.
Astronomers caution that the missing baryonic matter is not to be confused with "dark matter," a mysterious and exotic form of matter that is only detected via its gravitational pull..."
