From the paper ..

Quote:
Significantly, Arag ́on-Calvo, van de Weygaert & Jones (2010) suggest that filaments occupy 10 per cent by volume and 39 per cent by mass of the Universe, although this figure could be as high as 50 per cent (Bond et al. 1996).
I think this refers to the baryonic component of the universe (which is pretty big chunk of the total baryonic mass eh) ?

I think the rough proportions are (today):
- dark matter ~ 23%;
- dark energy ~ 72%
- baryonic ~ 5%

Cheers
PS: Gotta be careful .. these figures account for the mass-energy density of the observable universe only. In the bigger picture of the entire universe, to maintain the correct mass/energy density, they require about 83% DM, with ordinary matter being only about 17%.
