So, I’ve done a little digging and came across dark matter.
More specifically its recent use in imaging the universe like never before, in
the aims of discovering why our universe keeps expanding. Dark matter and its
affects on our universe, truly represent the forefront of human
exploration.
So far, I haven’t found a subject expert on this topic, but
I will keep searching because the information they may be able to provide will
prove crucial in developing an interesting and accurate article.
BTW if you don’t know what dark matter is, besides the stuff
in your toilet, you’d be surprised to know it is the most abundant “stuff” in
our universe. It came from the Big Bang (to the best of our knowledge) and it
is suspected that dark matter is what is causing the universe to exponentially
expand. Why does that matter? To put it short, we can’t explain why galaxies
are separating at an ever-growing rate. Dark matter could be to blame. At this
rate of expansion the universe will literally freeze to death and break apart
into an unimaginably humongous cloud of atoms. Interesting stuff, if you ask
me.
Perhaps I will have to narrow my focus a bit, but I would
love to do our next assignment on this subject!
