Awesome...thanks for the interesting link. My favorite mystery is gravity. I've thought on that one many a time and wondered. Always thought it was just mass that created gravity... but there is so much more to it.

Thanks again for sharing this!

I found the link dead as well. I searched the site and found it. Try this link to weirdest things in space. I'm on the site now and the 1st page is a hypervelocity star careening through space. I warn you that the pictures are artist conceptions.

Some cosmologists think this expansion will leave the Milky Way galaxy as an "island universe" in a few trillion years with no other galaxies visible. Others think the rate of expansion will become so great that it will result in a "Big Rip." In this scenario, the force of dark energy overcomes gravity to disassemble stars and planets, the forces keeping particles sticking together, the molecules in those particles, and eventually the atoms and subatomic particles. Thankfully, humankind probably won't be around to witness to cataclysm.

How bloody depressing is that? Just makes existence totally pointless, there wont even be any evidence of existence come that time. Knowing these things I don't know how anyone could still cling to the idea of an afterlife, although it sure must be comforting, it sure beats being aware of your consciousness disappearing one day never to return.

it was like this universe, only it all got sucked ito a massive black hole, then the forces of all the matter of the universe, constantly forming & destroying exotic particles inside the black hole overcame the gravitational pull and like popping a baloon all the energy/matter 'popped'
its cyclical. the same will happen to this universe, a long long time from now. teh black hole in the center of out galaxy will eventually attract the other black holes as the stars burn up, & then those black holes make bigger ones attracting others from other galaxies then eventually your left with one huge blackhole with all the energy/matter in the universe. then the cycle repeats. but it's nothing anyone of us should worry about it's litterally billions of years away from happening.
