Also, big-bang nucleosynthesis tells us what fraction of the universe is

This interesting (up to date) article mentions the word baryonic,
however nothing about darkmatter and baryon fraction.
[Moderator's note: Since we have a pretty good idea of the total
density, the difference between that and the baryonic density is the
dark-matter density, more or less by definition. -P.H.]

At the risk of opening up a new can of worms what do people think of the
new paper from Jamie Farnes at Oxford which seeks to unite dark energy
and dark matter as a negative mass fluid filling all of empty space (if
I have understood his paper correctly). It seems to work... title:
A Unifying Theory of Dark Energy and Dark Matter: Negative Masses and
Matter Creation within a Modified =CE=9B CDM Framework

Arxiv link but now also in A&A'. It makes some testable predictions.
