Black Holes

You may all think that dark matter is not made up of light since after all its called dark matter but physicists thought other wise. All of us wonder what is the space that makes up space in space, confusing. In other words what is area in space. All the people thought that photons, particles of light make up 85 percent of the universes matter. But now with new research they might be heavy photons. It will be a small amount of mass and carry an unknown force that makes it interact with normal photons.We know this because when something with mass passes a black hole it gets sucked in but something with no mass will just pass by it but a in between mass will go into it and steal some of its energy so it makes the black hole stop spinning. They calculated that if it were to make it stop moving it would have to weight 10-20 electronvolts.

How sea otters can reduce Co2

Sea otters may seem like not a like an important animal in the Eco system, sure they build dams. But most people think that is it, although they do a lot more and effect the Co2 level in a indirect way. Since sea urchins eat sea kelp and recent research shows that kelp absorb Co2 thought photosynthesis. Even though the amount of Co2 removed a little if we have lots of Co2 in the atmosphere, which we do see it docent affect it that much but its enough to make a difference. I think that this can be good if we stop polluting then the plant can slowly recover.

Stars Missing Elements

There are millions of stars in the cosmos and there are even more planets orbiting them but stars that are missing elements,plant like elements. It shows that there is a planet small and terrestrial like ours. This is the perfect place to find a new planet like ours. So far sciences had found around a dozen twin stars that they are studying to find a new planet
“That happens to be the star that’s an almost identical copy of the sun,” Melendez said. “In our opinion, it could be a very good target.”
This is the perfect way to find a new planet and it relates to elements that we are learning in class.
