The Nature of Dark Matter
Can dark matter be composed of normal matter?
If so, then its mass would
mostly come from protons
and neutrons = baryons
The density of baryons right
after the big bang leaves a
unique imprint in the
abundances of deuterium
and lithium.
Density of baryonic matter is
only ~ 4 % of critical density,
total is 30%.
Most dark matter must be non-baryonic!
