1) What does the universe consist of? As many people ask. Well the universe consists of many things. Some people think it is a big space full of darkness. You can call that …show more content…
Many think of it as, will the universe ever end? It was during the 1920’s that a man named Edwin Hubble provided the first piece of evidence that explained that the universe that we live in was expanding. (The Expanding Universe: From Slowdown to Speed Up, Scientific American). This theory is known as the “Big Bang.” (How Do Scientists Know the Universe is Expanding?, Live Science). Hubble discovered that there was a relationship between the red shift, also known as the cosmological shift in the spectral lines from the galaxy and the distance to an remote galaxy. Scientists also found that dark energy is the name given to the anti-gravitating influence. This is why there is an accelerating rate of our universe expanding. Even though this seems right, there have been other theories. The first theory as you know is that the universe will expand, as Edwin Hubble tells us. The second theory is “The Big Crunch”; a time when the universe will keep expanding until it will collapse. (Astronomy: The Study of the Universe, Scholastic). Scientists still do not know what will happen exactly but there are many …show more content…
Many people wonder what a black hole is or if you can even get out if you fell in. You might be sad to here, but unfortunately once your in a black hole you can never get out. We basically understand what happens outside the black hole as you approach its event horizon, that infamous point of no return, therefore you are dead! On the other hand you would be spaghettified, as scientists say. Spaghettification (Yes, that is a technical term!) also known as the noodle effect is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (like spaghetti) in a very strong gravitational field; it is caused by extreme tidal forces. The extreme tidal forces would be the event horizon of a black hole. The event horizon is where the escape speed exceeds the speed of light. How would you ever make it out? You would have to go faster than the speed of light. IMPOSSIBLE. Not only...but also, You can never escape the black hole’s gravity. According to theory, within a black hole there’s something called a singularity. (Whats inside a black hole?, By: Camille M. Carlisle). A singularity is what all the matter in a black hole gets crushed into. For instance, think of a black hole as a pit. You can never get out. Let me give you some advice; Do not fall into a black
