Dark Matter Matt Cannon (928) Physics 222 2/15/02 Final Draft Dark Matter The ultimate destiny of our expanding universe depends on how much matter it contains and whether or not the amount of matter will be enough to one day stop the expansion. When astronomers add up all the visible matter (matter that emits or reflects light) in the universe, the result is that there is clearly not enough to stop the expansion of the universe. However, they have discovered over the past several decades

My impression of the novel is a book capable of inducing the feeling of eroticism, sexual energy, danger, and suspense all at the same time. In my view, the genre of the novel can best be described as an erotic thriller. The novel present a strange intermixing of humans and other supernatural beings.

Emily watched the film with all of her boy cousins because they wanted her to see it with them. I was so intrigued

Dark Energy, Dark Matter In the early 1990's, one thing was fairly certain about the expansion of the Universe. It might have enough energy density to stop its expansion and recollapse, it might have so little energy density that it would never stop expanding, but gravity was certain to slow the expansion as time went on. Granted, the slowing had not been observed, but, theoretically, the Universe had to slow. The Universe is full of matter and the attractive force of gravity pulls all matter

Straughter Guthrie 9/20/12 Indifference in the Universe All through my life, I was taught to think that the universe was guided and created by a higher being.

Things just simply occur to no one’s benefit at all everything
