Introduction-
Earth can be seen as a grain of sand on the beach once we compare it to the whole universe. The question is what possible could occupy the majority of the universe, just within the Solar System we can see that the planets are orbiting around the Sun. We can determine where the planets are by calculating how fast the planet moves and where it is at in a certain time. So if the planet isn’t where you calculated it to be at what are the causes? One possibility is that we still don’t fully understand all laws of gravity or there is extra mass within the Solar System that is causing the planets to alter their trajectory. This lead scientists to believe in the existence of dark matter and so began investigations and experiments to learn whether it actually existed or not (Start with a bang, 2013).
Concepts and differences-
The theory of dark matter stems from the fact that there is not enough normal matter, as the gravity of normal matter isn’t strong enough to form galaxies and complex structures. The stars will more likely be disorganized and not form galaxies. Hence we know there is some exterior reason, something that does emit or reflect light, something dark. All we know is that there is something out there, there is a lot of it and it has something to do with gravity. The most popular idea is that within the cosmos there is a dominant source of gravity which is an unidentified type of mass which cannot be seen by the naked eye known as dark matter. Dark matter
Dark matter and dark energy are two entities that have very little known about them, except that they make up about 95 percent of the universe. Even though this is a large part of the universe, it wasn’t even thought about until the 1960’s or the 1970’s. This is because of the fact that it is very hard to detect and almost impossible to see. Although it is impossible to see, we can see the effects of them both in our galaxy.
The particles include photinos, neutrinos, gravitinos, axions, and magnetic monopoles, among many others. Of these, researchers have detected only neutrinos -- and whether neutrinos have any mass remains unknown. Experiments are under way to detect other exotic particles. If they exist, and if one has a mass in the correct range, then that particle might pervade the universe and constitute dark matter.
The Standard Model of particle physics teaches us the subatomic composition of the universe. It tells the fundamental building blocks which out of this is what the world is made of and the forces in which these blocks interact. The basic building blocks include the six quarks and their other six are leptons. As far as we remember, the four fundamental forces that are present in the universe are gravity, weak nuclear forces, strong nuclear force, and electromagnesim.
Astronomers believe there is enough dark matter in the universe to slow its expansion gradually toward a stop.
Dark Matter is a very interesting book that I would recommend you to read. The author of Dark Matter has both assimilation and tolerance in the book. In the book tolerance is used by Jason having to survive in different situations. At one point in the book he goes to a world that is covered in snow. He built tolerance to the cold and was able to carry Amanda to a cabin and survive. But also has assimilation sprinkled in. Jason had to adapt to his doppelgangers and their worlds.
We are not quite sure exactly how it happened or even how long it took to happen. According to www. Space.com it underwent an incredible growth spurt and doubled in size at least 90 times. This marks the beginning of an extraordinary set of circumstances that created a perfect storm. It was a chaotic set of circumstances the temperature cooled than heated then combined and light appeared and was eventually followed by complete darkness. This light is detectable today and can be researched which will hopefully lead to answers that we have been wanting to answer for many years. Nearly 400 million years after our universe made its appearance in this dramatic and chaotic performance it began to come out of its dark ages. This phase of our universe lasted for a very long time and during this time our very first stars and galaxies appeared. The birth of our Solar System happened approximately after our universe turned 4.6 billion years old. It is believed to have been formed out of a “giant, rotating cloud of gas and dust known as the nebula.” In 1960 dark matter was discovered and remain one of the biggest unanswered questions today. Earth made its entrance approximately 4.54 billion years ago. At its beginning it wouldn’t have been able to be inhabited by humans. Volcanic activity was the norm and at one point there was a collision with another body that is thought
The most common scientific explanation of how our universe came to be, is the Big Bang Theory. Around 13. 8 billion years ago there was no sign of anything apart from darkness. Until astronomer Edwin Hubble made a remarkable discovery about how the universe was created. Edwin Hubble hypothesised the matter and energy in the universe was initially condensed in a very small and infinitely hot mass. A huge explosion, known as the Big Bang, then sent matter and energy expanding in all directions (Howell, n.d.).
Dark matter is an element which is non-luminous and cannot be identified directly by electromagnetic light but can be identified. Dark matter is believed to be the fundamental element that makes up the universe, and that could probably be the reason why it is difficult to separate it from other particles.

There have been many theories concerning what the universe looks like, how it became this way, and where it is going. The most popular theory that people hold today is that the universe began when all the matter ever present in the universe was contained in a tiny speck and that spec exploded. This is known as the Big Bang. This theory has developed a great deal since it was first conceptualized and continues to evolve today. Many different scientists have had a hand in this.
We look for things that we can’t see by looking through special powerful telescopes that help us see the things we can’t from the naked eye. Many special telescopes today at NASA are those that can see things our eye itself cannot. These telescope’s lenses are the most powerful in the world. They see things our eyes can’t like dark matter. Like when dark matter was discovered. W. Kent Ford confirmed the existence of this “missing mass”. He observed a resembling phenomenon. The mass of the stars visible in a typical galaxy is about 10 percent required to keep stars orbiting their galaxy's center. Speed with which stars orbit the center. Accoring to http://www.britannica.com/science/dark-matter “Indeed, orbital velocity is either constant or
There has been many models of the universe over time. During this paper, I will describe four of the models, along with evidence and observations that supported them. One of the four models is the flat earth model. This model is portrayed as a flat surface enclosed in a dome, where the sun, moon, and stars move across the dome. The sky appears as merely a curtain to conceal the heavens. Some observations that support this model are the fact that the earth does indeed appear flat when a person looks at it, and the Sun and Moon arc across the sky. The flat earth model was created in the 12th century during Europe’s “Dark ages,” and was heavily influenced by the bible and Catholic church. The bible speaks of the “dome of the heavens” and the “corners
In the Andromeda galaxy, there was a little planet named Bartledan. On that planet, there was this empire named Yooden Bableham, who decided his planet needed to be expanded onto another planet. Most of the empires of the surrounding planets were quite jealous of him and his enormous amount of galactic gems. He then sent out seven of his most trustful spacemen to go and explore the near Milky Way galaxy. Once his men got into the orbit of the other planets in that galaxy, they noticed that everything was dark. There was no source of light or heat. The eight aligned planets were very cold and dark with no evidence of other life.
As we progress as a species, we use more resources than the world can proportionately replenish. Third world countries such as Pakistan, Uganda, and Haiti are experiencing an energy crisis that is crippling to their societies. We must expand our horizons in order to save the place in which we live: Earth. If we are able to harness energies that are extraterrestrial, we may be able to break through into an entirely new era of technology. We have expanded outward as far as we can; it is time to expand upward into the universe. Dark matter and dark energy both make up a combined ninety-five percent of our entire universe. These are hypothesized materials that have been seen but not proven on a physical scale; however, they are literally holding
Dark Matter and Dark Energy are important. They can help us know how the universe began. These two are the mysteries of the universe; they compose about 90% of the universe. They are mysteries because we believe that they exist but we can’t see them or detect them. People question whether they manifest to be the same thing. Astronomers know very little about their constitution so they cannot assume they are related.
