 The Milky Way & Andromeda Galaxy a gravitationally-bound group

The Milky Way:  Out of an estimated 100 billion stars in our galaxy, no more than 14 may be made from antimatter.   Antistars, which are identical to regular stars, save because they would burn antimatter at their cores.  Antimatter is precisely like ordinary matter,...
Quintessence is an energy field that can change over time.

Quintessence is an energy field that can change over time.

  Quintessence is an energy field that can change over time.  It changes slowly and almost constantly.  It is a property of space itself.  During its slow walk, gravity ties the galaxies together into gigantic pods.  When gravity can no longer hold things...
New physics is on the way once quintessence is validated

New physics is on the way once quintessence is validated

HOT AND COLD MATTER DARK ENERGY In cosmology, quintessence is a natural form of energy distinct from any ordinary matter or radiation or even “dark matter.” Its bulk properties – energy density, pressure, and so forth – lead to novel behavior and unusual astrophysical...
WHAT IF 70% OF THE UNIVERSE ISN’T DARK ENERGY AFTER ALL?

WHAT IF 70% OF THE UNIVERSE ISN’T DARK ENERGY AFTER ALL?

Gravity’s gentle tug on the cosmos:  Newton’s law of universal gravitation is that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the...

THE PARTICLE ZOO DID NOT JUST RANDOMLY SHOW UP

  The matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (volume). It made all matter up of atoms. The atom has a nucleus containing particles of positive charge (protons) and particles of neutral charge (neutrons). Surrounding the nucleus of an atom are shells...
