Our universe is fading according to a recent study done by GAMA (Galaxy and mass assembly). After surveying light from as far back as two billion years the survey found that the light in our universe is fading and will have gone black in 100 billion years. This is due to two main factors. Fewer stars (the universe's light bulbs) are being made and our universe is expanding. “More stars are dying then being born” we know this because after looking 2 billion years into the past we have seen a…

Day 1 I recently went on a trip to Europe with my mom, dad, brother, grandma, and grandpa. It was like living out the movie National Lampoon’s European Vacation but with two more people.

The existence of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). is in line…
