Dark Matter and Dark energy

Dark Matter and Dark Energy 




Matter - Anything that occupies space and has some mass is known as Matter.
Dark Matter - is a hypothetical form of matter. Our Universe is made up less than 5% of visible matter like stars, planets, galaxy, everything we can see. And the matter we can't see is called dark matter and scientist think 95% of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy.



Dark Matter is the stuff that makes it possible for the galaxies to exist. when we calculated why the universe is structured the way it is!. It quickly became clear that there's just not enough normal matter. The Gravity of the visible matter is not strong enough to form galaxies and complexes structures.

Stars would more likely be scattered all over the place and not form galaxies. So, we know there is something else inside and around them. Something that doesn't reflect or emit, something that dark but besides being able to calculate the existence of dark matter, we can see it... kind of.

Places with the high concentration of dark matter bend light passing nearby.  So we know that something is there interacting with gravity. we know dark matter is not just clouds of normal matter without stars, because it could emit particles we detect. 

Dark matter is not an Antimatter because anti-matter produces unique gamma rays when it reacts with normal matter.

Probably, Dark matter is made of complicated exotic particle that doesn't interact with light and matter in a way we expect. And the Dark energy, we can't see it, firstly we can't detect it but with the progress in Engineering now it is possible to detect dark energy, and we see its effects.

The Idea of Dark Matter was proposed by Henry Poincare in 1906 then In 1933, Swiss astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky who studied galaxy clusters while working at the California Institute of Technology made a similar interference. Zwicky applied the virial theorem to the Coma Cluster and obtained evidence of unseen mass that he called Dunkle Materie (dark matter). In 1972 Vera Rubin provided strong evidence based on the calculations of the rotational velocity of Galaxy.



In 1929, Edward Hubble examined, "How the wavelength of light emitted by distant galaxies, shift towards the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum as it travels through space.?"

He found that fainter, more distant galaxies showed a large degree of redshift; closer galaxies, not so much. Hubble determined that this was because the Universe is still expanding, the redshift occurs because the wavelength of light is stretched as the Universe expands.

Recent studies have shown that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Before that, it was thought that the expansion of the universe is due to the gravitational pull but space doesn't change its properties as it expands' there's just more of it.

Now, Space is constantly created everywhere and galaxies are a tight bound cluster of stuff which is held together by gravity so we don't experience this expansion in our daily life but see it everywhere around us.

Wherever there is empty space in the universe, more is forming every second. So, dark energy seems to be some kind of Energy intrinsic to empty space. The energy that is stronger than anything else we know and it keeps getting stronger day by day. Empty space has more energy than anything else in the Universe. It can generate more space and is quite active. so, as the universe expands it could be just more and more space appear to fill the gaps and this leads to a faster-expanding universe.

The Man from Taured

The Man from Taured The man from Taured is a story about a man who arrived at Japanese Airport from a country called Taured. Many people claimed this story to be true but the biggest problem seems to lie in Taured itself.   Many have pointed out that there is no country by the name of Taured either today or during the propoted period of time when the took place in this case the 1950’s but the mysterious man claimed his country had existed over a thousand years this story ends with a man disappearing and leaving no traces. The story of “The Man from Taured” begins in July 1954 on that particular day a man will set to have arrived at Tokyo International Airport, this man is being described as Caucasian looking with a beard while its primary luggage is said to have been French is being said this spoke Japanese and many other languages as well. The sequence of events then differs according to which version of the story you have encountered. In one versio

Top 10 Scary Astronaut Stories

Top 10 Scary Astronaut Stories Today, we share real accounts of people who have been to space - the scary things they experience, the unexplained sightings, and the memories that haunted them for years after.  10.  The Knocking - In 2003, Yang lee become the first Chinese person in space. It was a horrific occasion, but it also becomes famous for a creepy occurrence. In 2016, Yang told in an interview that he heard someone knocking on the outside of the spaceship on that trip, he described it as sounding like a wooden hammer hitting on the iron bucket. He tried to peek out of the porthole but he couldn't see anything outside. When he got back to earth, Yang described the sound to expert, he even tried to recreate it for them - but nobody could identify it. In the year since, many people have tried to explain this strange phenomenon. some say that it could have been some space debris but some others say that this is unlikely as space debris is few and far between

Time Glitch Stories

Time glitch stories  Time Slip - A Time Slip is a plot device used in fantasy and science fiction in which a person or a group of people travels through time by an unknown means for a period of time.  Timeslip stories have two or more interconnected timelines. The 1950's Slip - One Saturday afternoon in July of 1996, Frank and his wife Carol were visiting a boul street in Liverpool UK, to do some shopping. The pair decided to split up and Frank wanted to go to Dillion's bookshop as he walked up  the incline near the Lyceum  post office building that led into the Bowl street, Frank suddenly noticed that he had entered a wrong street suddenly a box van that looked likes something out of the 1950s spread across his path honking its horn as it narrowly missed him . Frank noticed the man and the van side, Kaplan, when he looked down he was unexpectedly standing in the road. Frank crossed the road and he saw that the Dillion's bookshop had cripps over his
