Favorite Projects Quarter 4

My first favorite project was the one over dark matter. The project described what dark matter was, and how it makes up the majority of the matter in the universe, and how we know it exists because of its gravitational effect on the universe. The project also went over theories concerning dark matter, like how it may be from a parallel universe called the Hidden Valley, that Einstein may have wrong, or comes from the quantum theory of matter.

Another project I really liked was over black holes. This project talked about how black holes are locations where so much matter is compressed that it has a large gravitational pull, and how the closest one to us is in the center of our galaxy. I also learned that black holes can die, proven by the law of quantum mechanics. I also learned that there are multiple types of black holes: stellar, super-massive, and intermediate.

My third favorite project was over various multiverse theories.  This project was over how there could be infinite potential universes, and in some of them our laws of physics may not be correct. I also learned that there are many different theories: landscape, quantum, holographic, simulated, and ultimate. I learned that scientists have a very hard time believing in this theory because there is no real evidence, and there's a very little chance of us entering or finding another universe.
