    Interesting but my guess is that it is transforming into something else.

    Well, since the model worked in the early universe, I'd say there's a good chance it is valid. Maybe there used to be more sources of this ionizing UV light, and the hydrogen just stayed ionized.

    Light sources and light are not the same thing. If we are missing sources, we need to adjust our knowledge. If we are simply missing light, we need to change our batteries, or change our bulb.

    Dark light would explain the data. But so would the big spaghetti monster. Belief has always been a panacea of the confused. I am stupid, I am confused, but that also may be a manifestation of my limited ability to think. Great minds tend to think that we are missing light data. I don't know. I tend to think that the experts really know what they are talking about, but I trust in scientists, not!

    Join me in protesting scientific thought, not!!!

    The article is a bit confusing. Is it the photons that are missing or is it the sources of light? For example read this

    The two paragraphs appear to contradict each other.

    Maybe my kids finally remembered to turn the damn hall light out. Nah, never happen
