FYI: Lots of space stuff detected in very clever ways. :)
(they did pretty much know it was there...just could not prove it!)

From an article in NewScientist:

The missing links between galaxies have finally been found. This is the first detection of the roughly half of the normal matter in our universe – protons, neutrons and electrons – unaccounted for by previous observations of stars, galaxies and other bright objects in space.
Two separate teams found the missing matter – made of particles called baryons rather than dark matter – linking galaxies together through filaments of hot, diffuse gas.

“The missing baryon problem is solved,” says Hideki Tanimura at the Institute of Space Astrophysics in Orsay, France, leader of one of the groups. The other team was led by Anna de Graaff at the University of Edinburgh, UK.

Its a little known fact that the extra matter in the universe is composed entirely of socks that have disappeared from the wash.

That's a juvenile and amateurish theory, at best.

Any determined scholar knows it also includes various screws, washers, nuts, and small machine and model parts that fall on carpeting, as well.

Typical pseudoscientific thinking. Why do you persist in ignoring the mountains of evidence supporting the Lost Biro Hypothesis?

That was abandoned when they found them all in MrsB's handbag.

I think that we also need to consider bits of food, spilled drinks and items 'I will put it here so I don't forget'

Hard floors can be just as bad as carpeting. The damn things will bounce and roll until they fall into the nearest micro black hole.

And none of those things are even close to the infinite gravity pull of the nasty stinky smelly ... downright evil.... bilge.

And of course you do not have the luxury of not finding said object. It must be found. Otherwise it creates a simultaneous hole in the hull and clog in the pump that will kill you and all aboard. So no options but to find it....period.
