i ate way too much pizzaI saw Juno last night, as well as Justice League: The New Frontier. I also watched Tin Man in its entirety, but I'd rather not talk about that.
Juno was wonderful and fantastic and full of yay!, and it broke my heart near the end, but then made it all better. The whole thing made me think about my hometown, and family, and made me realize just what went wrong with my mother's marriage [that looks like a tongue twister lulz].
Justice League: TNF was definitely not for kids, but was pretty good nonetheless. I was confused about the whole "The Center" thing, and it revolved way too much around Hal for my tastes. As much as I adore him, all of the other characters were put in the shadows [and not the good kind -- Batman was not in it as much as I had hoped]. The focus on J'onn made me happy, and Old School Wonder Woman made me happy, too, but it mislead about focus on Green Arrow. He didn't even speak at all. If you're going to advertise something, you should try to come through.
As for Tin Man [I need to stop typing "Tim Nam"]... I watched it only for the Cain/Glitch factor. Everything else sucked. Even awesome Alan Cumming could not un-suck the suckage of this thing.
But anyway, speaking of DC, I have Universe-related things. Specifically, the Origin of the Universe.
Cosmology is the overall study of the universe, and astronomy is about the "Current Universe", or what we can see.
What was the radiation era?
For the first second, only elementary particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, could exist. But the universe quickly cooled and expanded. Electromagnetic radiation [light] was the most important thing in the universe and hence this time was known as the radiation era. When the universe had cooled to the point where the simplest atoms [hydrogen] could form, radiation no longer dominated and matter took over. The cosmic microwave background radiation was produced at this time.
What are the two possible fates of the universe?
One possiblity is that the Universe will come to an end in the opposite of a Big Bang called The Big Crunch. The other possibility is that we live in an Eternal Universe that will never come to end.
Why is it unlikely that dark matter is composed mostly of stars?
Because stars shimmer and emit light. That is what stars do. Y'know. A big ball of radioactive gas usually creates light, not destroys it. Or something.
Despite the gases, dust, and stars that compose the universe, it is still mostly made up of ____________________.
empty space
Observed matter not measurable by current methods is called ____________________.
dark matter
The only known galaxy exhibiting blue shift is the ____________________.
Andromeda galaxy
The discovery that most galaxies have red shifts implies that ____________________.
the universe is expanding
The ____________________ states that all matter and energy in the universe exploded ten to twenty billion years ago and began expanding in all directions.
Big Bang theory
Discovered in 1965, cosmic background radiation supported the ___________________.
Big Bang theory
What evidence was discovered in 1965 that supports the big bang theory? [This looks familiar...]
If the beginning of the universe had happened as outlined in the big bang theory, then remnants of the explosion should exist as radiation at microwave wavelengths. Scientists believe that they found these remnants when they detected cosmic background radiation in 1965.
What is the big bang theory? [...Is this test repeating itself? Really? :\]
The big bang theory is a scientific theory describing the origin of the universe in a gigantic explosion sometime between 10 and 20 billion years ago.
What force is theorized to hold the universe together?
Gravity, because of gravity, stars, gas, and dust collect into larger units called galaxies, and galaxies group into clusters and superclusters.
Define universe.
The universe is defined as everything physical that exists in space and time, including all matter and energy that exists, now, in the past, and in the future.
Speaking of Cosmology [not to be confused with Cosmetology], the guys and gals over at Empty Movement have been planning the first annual RoseCon, and I really wish I could go. I'd love to go to New York. It looks like so much fun. Woe. ;.;
