Tell Me An Interesting Fact.....

Our knowledge of the universe is limited to just 4% of the universe. There is 96% we know nothing about. Dark matter and dark energy.

We can only observe the universe above and bellow us because our galaxy blocks our view laterally.
 
The most southerly point of the EU is Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, East of Madagascar (it's an overseas department of France).
 
In 1983 French musician Jean-Michel Jarre released just one copy of his new album Music for Supermarkets as a protest against the "silly industrialisation of music".

The album was played once on Radio Luxembourgh with Jarre encouraging the listens to pirate the album.

The one original copy (a vinyl) of the album was sold at auction with the master tapes destroyed. Proceeds went to charity.

How can that be correct when the universe is expanding exponentially. Finite numbers are needed to calculate those percentages. The 4% (known) is always decreasing, while the 96% (unknown) is always increasing.

No the amount of dark matter and dark energy are not, as far as we know, increasing.

The universe isn't expanding in the way you mean it. The fabric of space/time is stretching. It doesn't put any more material in.

The Atacama Desert in northern Chile is one of the driest places on earth, and contains river beds which haven't seen a single drop of water in 120,000 years.

The fear of long words is called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.
