Primordial Lithium Puzzle and the Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter Model

Understand

Astrophysics today faces a number of mysteries which defiant their resolutions in spite of drastic improvements in instrumental design, better technique being developed, and gradual improvements in theoretical and computation methods over last decades.

• Primordial Lithium Puzzle is known to stay with us for at least two decades, and it is very likely that its final resolution will require some fundamentally new ideas, novel frameworks and a non-conventional paradigms.
• We propose that Primordial Lithium Puzzle finds its natural resolution within the so-called Axion Quark Nugget (AQN) dark matter model.
• This model was invented long ago as a natural explanation of the observed ratio $\Omega_{\rm dark} \sim \Omega_{\rm visible}$ without any references to BBN physics.
