did you know that in one second the sun gives off 1,000,000 times the energy that the entire USA uses in one year?  :o

Dark Matter ? :-?  It can't be seen by any kind of telescope, no one knows what it is, but they say it has to exist and there are various large experiments etc searching for it.

...and now some experts say there's something called Dark Energy...and this is something they really do not like. Apparently it is not good  :o

now multpiply that one second by 60 for a minute, then 60 for an hour, then 24 per day then 365 for a year!!!

then multiply that by the age of the sun.....say 5 billion years ago


and all that from a clump of collapsed hydrogen atoms  :o

I found it fascinating! 8-) 8-) :y :y

The best bit for me was the description of how in (I think) 5 billion years time the Sun will become a Red Giant star, expanding some 200 times it's existing size, taking out the Earth in the process, before the Sun implodes. 8-) 8-)

How's that for global warming!! :D :D ;)
