    The Atomic Theory The atomic theory is a fundamental scientific theory of the nature of matter, which states that matter is composed of discrete units called atoms, which came from the Greek word atomon, meaning ‘uncuttable’. This theory was based on the concept that any given item in the universe could be broken down using pico- and femtometer atomic/subatomic/alpha particles.

    "Report!" commanded Hauyne, steadying herself on the ship's navigation console. A spark jumped from the ceiling while more and more lights began to cut out. Their battered cruiser swayed precariously, side to side, as it hurtled through the cold, starry, upper atmosphere. "A-just a small engine fire! Shields barely stable. Hull is holding," Vermarine shouted her answer from the reactor room toward the back of the ship. The inner framework of the fuselage violently creaked and the metal plating rattled

    Black Holes The American scientist John Wheeler coined the phrase “black hole” in 1969 to describe a massively compact star with such a strong gravitational field that light cannot escape. When a star’s central reserve of hydrogen is depleted, the star begins to die. Gravity causes the center to contract to higher and higher temperatures, while the outer regions swell up, and the star becomes a red giant. The star then evolves into a white dwarf, where most of its matter is compressed into
