The Director Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 "Dark Matter" is a theorized particle that has anti-gravitational effects. One theory on how this universe came to be is that an old version of the universe was engulfed by a supermassive black hole, and these particles were also engulfed somehow, causing the black hole to be torn apart rather violently resulting in the "Big Bang".

Sportan Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 There is no such thing as a "visible universe." Its just the universe. "The Universe" (theoretically) goes on forever. The "Visible Universe" is the part of the universe we can observe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 You could remove a large part of your internal organs and survive. The human body may appear fragile but it’s possible to survive even with the removal of the stomach, the spleen, 75 percent of the liver, 80 percent of the intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ from the pelvic and groin area. By survive it means not die, the life you'd live after this would be on a machine with pills every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccup-mann Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie. The average person falls asleep in seven minutes. Bullet proof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers were all invented by women Emus and kangaroos cannot walk backwards, and are on the Australian coat of arms for that reason.
