Lithium Problem

The "Lithium Problem" is a theoretical discrepancy in astrophysics that refers to the significant deviation between the observed primordial abundance of lithium-7 in the universe and the higher values predicted by Big Bang nucleosynthesis models based on the standard cosmological framework.
