Abstract
Intergalactic gas and dust are very difficult to detect. Several methods to detect intergalactic gas have been developed. The results of these methods have provided qualitative arguments and quantitative limits on the amount of intergalactic matter in the intergalactic environment. We present here arguments as to why the density of intergalactic matter is higher than previously thought possible.
