Something Is Amiss In Physics

When I was young (so very long ago), I had delusional dreams of becoming a cosmologist. My poor math skills eventually got in the way of that bad idea.

But it does not take a math wizard to see what's wrong with the latest claims about the universe and its origin:

Kollmeier and company have published their research in the latest edition of The Astrophysical Journal Letters, and there they explain further why they have reason to believe that the universe is missing around 400 percent of its light.

Along with Benjamin Oppenheimer and Charles Danforth of CU-Boulder’s Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy, Kollmeier reported that the amount of light that should be emitted from ionized tendrils of hydrogen in the universe is only a fraction of what it should be.

“Something is amiss in the universe,” they write. “There appears to be an enormous deficit of ultraviolet light in the cosmic budget.”

Gentlemen: When your theories don't agree with the facts, it's the theories that are wrong ... not the facts.

And this is not merely a question of semantics. Something is seriously wrong with "the standard model", and physicists refuse to admit it.
