Dark energy

Dark matter and dark energy are perhaps the biggest mysteries in the universe. Dark matter makes up 26% of the universe, dark energy makes up 69% of the universe, and ‘normal’ matter- everything visually observed in the universe- makes up only 5% of the universe. Dark matter and energy are thought to be explanations for various phenomena that have been observed in deep space. Dark matter is matter that cannot be detected by its absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation. Scientists…

One concept that has interested is dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter is the thing that makes it possible for galaxies to exist. When astrophysicists and cosmologist calculated why the universe is structure the way it is, it became clear that there’s just not enough normal matter. The gravity of the visible matter is not strong enough to from galaxies and complex structures. The starts would more likely be scattered all over the place and not form galaxies. Therefore, cosmologist concluded…

Space is a huge sea of unknown. We are simply specks of dust, trying to figure out the behaviors of giants. Thus it is apparent that the specks can not know much. For now. One of the biggest mysteries is the expansion of the universe; in the 1990s, we knew that theoretically, our ever-expanding universe was slowing down due to gravity, and that it would eventually collapse or keep expanding, just slower as time went on. However, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that to be dead…

Just as we inherit traits from our parents, the bible says we inherit our sinful nature from Adam and Eve because we descended from them. (Smith, 2016 ) Similarly, satanic popular culture characters have ‘inherited’ biblical Satan’s attributes. The Dark Knight’s Joker epitomizes deception and trickery. He offers two stories describing the origin of his facial scarring and never reveals which, if any are true. Additionally, he tells Batman where Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes are being held but he…

Rebecca McKenney Frontiers of Astronomy Mrs. Alburg 26 April 2017 Our Galactic Universe 1. Galaxies can be as large as a few thousand to several hundreds of thousands of light years across. 2. Astronomers, at the time this was released, believe that there are over a hundred billion galaxies in the universe. 3. It is estimated that a light year is 5.88 trillion miles. 4. Galaxies come in three different main type shapes. There are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. 5. Spiral galaxies…

Dark matter and dark energy are phantoms of the scientific community. The scientific community has tried to detect dark matter for decades. Hairy dark matter could be the key to the secrets of the Big Bang and the events that occurred afterwards. Condensed filaments of dark matter, hairs, in our galactic neighborhood could be used to gather incredible amounts of data that was previously unavailable to us. Hairy dark matter is a type of dark matter, formed by the gravity of space objects, that…

For this essay, I have decided to compare two “bad guys” that audiences always seem to love. One is your classic high school rebel in The Breakfast Club, while the other is Batman’s favorite villian in The Dark Knight. Judd Nelson and Heath Ledger share many similarities in their roles as John and the Joker, however I think the biggest difference between the two actors is the amount of intensity put into their characters. John is a troubled young man, who seems to be mad at the world. Judd…

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…

These wings give males a selective advantage; they are able to attract female mates. Similar to migrating birds, the monarch butterflies use the clear benefit of updrafts of warm air, called “thermals” and glide as they migrate, to preserve the energy required for flapping their wings throughout the voyage. Studies show that monarch butterflies that migrate for long distances have evolved significantly bigger and longer wings than their cousins. These long wings have a narrow tip, thereby…

more than the sum of its nutrients; protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Food is broken down and transformed into energy. Eating is another way to take apart life sustaining energy from food. When you eat, you take in and absorb the forces of nature stored in your food. For example, plants store light through photosynthesis. Eating food releases the energies and nutrients stored in food for your body to absorb. In absorbing your food, the physical and energetic forces of your…
