Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we going? Where do we come from in this universe? Humans are made of the stuff that everything else is made of in the universe. If we look at the human body and go down the scale we find cell, molecules, atoms, sub-atomic particles and pure energy. The whole universe is made up of energy - and at this level everything is vibrating. Hence, we are all made of this energy and the energy packets are surfing on this sea of universal consciousness. In other words, WE ARE ALL CONNECTED and living in a thought universe.

Universe Universe is the name that we use to describe the collection of all the things that exist in space. It is made of billions of stars and planets and enormous clouds of gas separated by a gigantic empty space which is called the universe Astronomers can use telescopes to look at very distant galaxies. This is how they see what the universe looked like a long time ago. This is because the light from distant parts of the universe takes a very long time to reach us. From these observations, it seems t

- Is the universe then made up of different energies? Science shows us that everything is made up of energy. It is the building block of all matter. The same energy that composes your body is the same one that composes the bricks of the house you live in, your car, your phone, animals, trees and so forth. It«s all the same.

- NEW YORK — All the stars, planets and galaxies that can be seen today make up just 4 percent of the universe. The other 96 percent is made of stuff astronomers can't see, detect or even comprehend. These mysterious substances are called dark energy and dark matter.

Cosmic microwave background Yet if we map everything we know in the universe, what we consider to be solid and regard as normal matter – is less then 5% of the total density of the Universe. The rest of the universe is comprised of dark matter and dark energy, which is intrinsically empty space. […].

Matter: Definition & the Five States of Matter Matter is the “stuff” of the universe. There are five known phases, or states, of matter: solids, liquids, gases, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates.

The Star In You Over 13 billion years since the Big Bang, hydrogen and helium still make up most of the visible matter in the universe. Nearly 10,000 galaxies appear in this Hubble Ultra Deep Field image. Enlarge Photo credit: NASA, ESA, and N. Pirzkal (STScI/ESA). The Big Bang also churned out helium, the next lightest element. You don't have any helium in you, unless you just sucked the gas out of a birthday balloon. But helium is the second most common element after hydrogen. Together they make up more than 98 percent of the matter in the universe.

Dark matter Since observations indicate the universe is almost flat, we expect the total energy density of everything in the universe to sum to 1 (Ωtot ~ 1). The measured dark energy density is ωλ = ~0.690; the observed ordinary matter energy density is Ωm = ~0.0482 and the energy density of radiation is negligible. This leaves a missing Ωdm = ~0.258 that nonetheless behaves like matter (see technical definition section above) – dark matter.

Elementary particle According to the current models of big bang nucleosynthesis, the primordial composition of visible matter of the universe should be about 75% hydrogen and 25% helium-4 (in mass). Neutrons are made up of one up and two down quark, while protons are made of two up and one down quark.

What is dark matter? The galaxies in our Universe are not exclusively made up of the stuff we can see, but are held together by the gravitational pull of so-called dark matter. We shouldn't assume that everything is equally conspicuous and shouldn't therefore be surprised by this discovery. The Earth at night.

universe 1. All space-time, matter, and energy, including the solar system, all stars and galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a whole. 2. A hypothetical whole of space-time, matter, and energy that is purported to exist simultaneously with but to be different from this universe: an alternate universe. 3.

- The building block of all matter are atoms. All matter is made out  of atoms, atoms in turn are made out of protons, neutrons and  electrons. 23 people found this useful.

Matter and Energy: A False Dichotomy This comes up in many contexts. Sometimes one sees poetic language describing the Big Bang as the creation of all the “matter and energy” in the universe. One reads of “matter and anti-matter annihilating into `pure’ energy.” And of course two of the great mysteries of astronomy are “dark matter” and “dark energy”.

- Distant galaxy cluster RXJ0847, as studied by XMM-Newton. 16 December 2003 The Universe is thought to consist of three types of substance: normal matter, ‘dark matter’ and ‘dark energy’. Normal matter consists of the atoms that make up stars, planets, human beings and every other visible object in the Universe. As humbling as it sounds, normal matter almost certainly accounts for the smallest proportion of the Universe, somewhere between 1% and 10%.

Dark matter Dark energy. Dark energy makes up approximately 68% of the universe and appears to be associated with the vacuum in space. It is distributed evenly throughout the universe, not only in space but also in time – in other words, its effect is not diluted as the universe expands.

Energy, Forces and Vectors The total energy of the universe is constant due to the Law of Conservation of Energy. This means that the energy of the universe remains the same before an action, during the action and after the action. In an equation: Take, for example, a bouncing ball.

Hot or Cold Dark Matter and Cosmology Hot and cold dark matter are the two key elements in modern cosmology’s quest to understand how our universe formed as we see it today. Much effort is being expended to determine whether 23% of the universe, which is attributed to dark matter, is either hot or cold. Hot Dark Matter (HDM): This is matter that moves at or near relativistic speeds and therefore possesses high energy. 2  Because of this property it is more likely to be evenly distributed about the universe and less likely to clump together to form large structures like galaxies during the evolution of the universe.

- The universe is made up of matter and energy. Matter — anything that has mass and takes up space — is pretty straightforward and easy to grasp, but energy is a bit more abstract.

Evidence for the Big Bang Again, on a mass–energy equivalence basis, the density of dark energy (~ 7 × 10−30 g/cm3) is very low, much less than the density of ordinary matter or dark matter within galaxies. However, it comes to dominate the mass–energy of the universe because it is uniform across space.

What are dark matter and dark energy, and how are they affecting the universe? Dark energy and dark matter describe proposed solutions to as yet unresolved gravitational phenomena. So far as we know, the two are distinct. Dark matter originates from our efforts to explain the observed mismatch between the gravitational mass and the luminous mass of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

What is Dark Matter? This Hubble Space Telescope composite image shows a ghostly ring of dark matter in the galaxy cluster Cl 0024+17. Roughly 80 percent of the mass of the universe is made up of material that scientists cannot directly observe. Known as dark matter, this bizarre ingredient does not emit light or energy.

What is the Universe Made Of? 1 In 2003, the first WMAP results came out indicating that the universe was flat (see above) and that the dark matter made up only 24% of the density required to produce a flat universe.

Space Environment The molecules making up all matter contains a huge amount of energy, as Einstein's E = mc^2 pointed out to us. Energy can also travel in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as heat, light, radio, and gamma rays.
