Matter is a poorly-defined term in science (see below). The term has often been used in reference to a substance (often a particle) that has rest mass. Matter is also used loosely as a general term for the substance that makes up all observable physical objects.[1][2] All objects we see with the naked eye are composed of atoms. This atomic matter is in turn made up of interacting subatomic particles—usually a nucleus of protons and neutrons‚ and a cloud of orbiting electrons.[3][4] Typically‚ science

Dark Matter (Review) Dark Matter (Review) Kenneth Lathrom Kenneth Lathrom 6th Period Dark matter is the missing piece to the astronomical equation of galactic gravitation. Simply put it is the objects we do not know and cannot see that explain why the farthest planets don’t follow the “norm” and hurtle away from the center of their designated galaxy. Astrophycists have been looking for signs of these unseen particles. Having theorized that when two dark matter particles collide they

The Nature of Dark Matter We observe the universe around us through many scientific means. However it is through the electromagnetic spectrum‚ that is everything from radio waves to gamma waves‚ that we learn about the objects in our world and beyond. However we can also learn about our universe through indirect means‚ such as the effect of gravity on light as well as larger objects like our galaxy. In fact it is this indirect method of observation that has led us to the discovery of extra-solar

There is much more dark matter than normal (visible) matter in the universe. According to (this source) roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%‚ while everything else in the universe (physical matter like the atoms that make up planets and stars) makes up less than 5% of the universe. According to (this source) the universe is actually 96% of dark matter and dark energy. With 73% being dark energy and 23% being dark matter but the implications of this much

States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically‚ the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions
