The great Neil deGrasse Tyson once said something along the lines of humans have only discovered about 4% of the universe. Not only does my fear of what I don't know going on below my feet in the ocean scare the crap out of me, but that big star filled sky does as well. It doesn't just scare me, but it probably scares and excites scientists studying it all over the world. Since we only know a fraction of the inter-workings of the universe, there are many questions and things going on that we simply have no answer for yet.
Dark Energy

Dark Energy is the unknown force/energy that takes up around 70% of the universe. Sure, you look up and see billions of stars, but there's also the space between those stars and the effect it has on them that puzzles scientists.
It's said to have an unknown repulsive force on gravity, and may also theoretically be causing the universe to expand. Do …show more content…

To quote Ellie from the Carl Sagan's Contact: "The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space." If it just us, which it almost certainly isn't, then it would make us feel very isolated and alone. Knowing for sure that there is nothing out there isn't a good feeling. Knowing there is something that wants to turn us into food is also not a good feeling.
What exactly are we. Sure we're made up of all this stuff, but we're still not really sure how we came to be. It's why thousands of years ago people had to create answers to solve this before science. We still cling to these notions. We looked at the stars and made constellations that resembled a man with a belt or a lion. We just didn't know. We have ideas where it all begin in the primordial soup, but there are still many questions. From those questions comes the questions of extraterrestrials. Are they up there wondering the same about us? We try to hear radio signals from far away, but our radio signals have barely gone anywhere into our
