Posted on 01/31/2012 2:06:57 PM PST by NormsRevenge
The mysteries of the universe are as vast and wide as existence itself. Throughout history, mankind has searched and struggled to find the answers tucked away inside the universe and everything we see around us. ..
True, we have yet to come up with the answers to life, the universe, and everything — but oh do we have questions! Solving these mysteries may help to explain not only the creation of the universe, but also how it works, why it works, and possibly how it will end.
1. The Higgs boson
The Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle whose accompanying field is believed to be accountable for giving all other fundamental particles their mass. ..
...
2. Gravity and the mysterious graviton
We've all heard the story of how Newton's observation of an apple falling out of a tree led to his formulation of the law of gravitation.
...
3. Dark matter
Dark matter is a mysterious sort of glue that not only holds galaxies together but is theoretically responsible for their creation. It was initially hypothesized in 1933 to explain mathematical discrepancies while calculating the mass of galaxies; .. Since then, we haven't learned a whole heck of a lot more about dark matter.
...
4. Faster-than-light travel
Admit it — if you've ever watched Han Solo and Chewie take the Millennium Falcon to light speed, or stared in awe the first time you saw the Starship Enterprise jump to maximum warp, you've wanted to see faster-than-light (FTL) travel. ..
...
5. How will it all end?
Assuming the standard model is true, our universe's end will likely all come down to one of three theories, each of which depends upon three things: ..

BTW I believe “The Universe” is on tonight on H2 at 10 pm eastern.
There was no big bang, there will be no big crunch. This removes the need for magical pixie dust like “dark matter”.

No mention of the greatest mystery of all. The location of that mating sock in the dryer. That may be too tough to contemplate solving without newer, more advanced technology.
The hypothesized dark matter?
...or the black hole of tax revenue.
uh, 42?
Because they don't find all the answers they are looking for there.
Probably because the universe we can see with modern technology is more accurate than the universe that was written about thousands of years ago.
6. The Thermos.
Because 1) they're government workers, either directly or indirectly, and 2) they think they are so smart that other people shouldn't have more than them. It's no fair. It insults their vanity. There is also a subset that have had to deal with being the target of envy their whole lives. Playing leftist enables them to deflect envy as well as get laid by the hippy girls, not that that is much of an accomplishment.
They can look to their hearts content....they will never find them, not in the way they seek.
Need more details....
I say bring on that global warming. Up to nearly 55 degrees in southern Mi today.
LMAO!! One could spend many semesters anlyzing that Q&A.
If true, they wouldn't still be looking for so many answers.
Tell me, what is their explanation of the "big bang"......something so huge and perfect coming from nothing?
Heck, they STILL don't know how the human brain works.
That turned out to be "What is eight times seven?" ;-)
