Driving Force That Drives Galaxies Apart

The universe is expanding at an ever – increasing rate, with something that astronomers call dark energy appearing to push it apart faster than gravity can pull it together.

Type la supernovas are stars that explodes with a predictable brightness. Light from distant supernovas locks dimmer and redder than expected, implying that the universe is expanding. The more distant the star, the faster it appears to be moving away.

According to Quantum mechanics, electrons bound to an atom can only have particular values of energy; they are unique to that element. Absorption or emission of a photon of light by the atom occurs when the energy of that photon matches the difference between two of these energy levels. The gravitational pull of any object gets weaker the further you move from the object. Thus, the Moon p...
What Gravity does to Entropy
What qualifies as low entropy or high entropy depends on the situation. Physicists identify the high – entropy state of a system based on how the system evolves over time. For example, if a diffuse and sufficiently cool gas feels the tug of gravity, it evolves to a clump. The law of entropy increase then implies that the clump has high entropy, even though at first glance it might appear to be...

When the solar system was nearly complete, 500 million years later, just 0....
