	Dark energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the late 1990s, observations of type Ia supernovae suggested that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
		These theories both suggest that the density of baryons and cold dark matter in the universe is about 30% the critical density for closure of the universe.
		Specifically, when the volume of the universe doubles, the density of dark matter is halved but the density of dark energy is nearly unchanged (it is exactly constant in the case of a cosmological constant).

	CONK! Encyclopedia: Cosmic_inflation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Cosmic inflation is the idea, first proposed by Alan Guth in 1981, that the nascent universe passed through a phase of exponential expansion (the inflationary epoch) that was driven by a negative pressure vacuum energy density.
		Among these are the observed flatness of the universe (the flatness problem), its extraordinary homogeneity on large (non-causally-connected) scales (the horizon problem), and its lack of any observed topological defects (the monopole problem), predicted by many Grand Unified Theories.
		Predictions of the standard model of inflation include geometrical flatness of the universe and near scale invariance of the primordial density fluctuations of the universe.

	The Universe
		In the first seconds of time, the early universe expanded and cooled to 100 billion degrees, and protons, neutrons and electrons began to take form.
		After 300,000 years, temperatures in the universe had dropped below 3,000 degrees and neutral atoms were formed as electrons combined with the atomic nuclei.
		As the early universe developed, the stars were drawn together into large clusters called galaxies.

		This particular Timeline of the Universe describes the events that have occurred and will occur according to prevailing scientific theory (specifically, the Big Bang theory).
		This model of the creation and ultimate fate of the Universe from a modern scientific standpoint is intended to serve as an educational guide.
		Once the universe cooled enough for the combination rate of atoms to be greater than the rate of ionization, the electrons and light nuclei formed atoms.

	Origins: Timeline of the Universe
		The universe appears to be very well populated with the raw materials to manufacture the deoxyribonucleic (DNA) molecule, the blueprint of all life on Earth.
		However, the method for ensuring that all of the right components find each other in the right quantities and under the right circumstances has yet to be identified.
		The fact that it happened once, and with such prolific consequences, suggests that in the chain of events described here, the opportunity exists for repeated occurrences of life elsewhere in the universe.

	A Spacetime Map of the Universe
		For a "closed" Universe, which collapses, the full globe shape applies; for an "open" Universe, one which expands forever, the appropriate shape is that of a widely flaring bell, gradually opening to a nearly flat rim.
		Z values for the "closed 300" Universe example will be approximately the same (in the first 15 billion years of its development) as for a Universe which is poised between open and closed, the "critical density" Universe, which is the reason for its inclusion.
		Placing the observed galaxies at the edge of the Universe rather than the center of the illustration is the reason why the expansion of the Universe appears to cause the "horizon" problem, whereas in fact the expansion solves the problem.

	April 5,1995
		The age of the Universe is 8 - 12 billion years based on the Hubble constant and some simple assumptions however, the ages of the oldest stars is inferred to be least 14 - 16 billion years based on observations of globular clusters.
		Let me make a comment now, if the age of the Universe is on the order of 10 (or so) billion years then the size of the observable Universe is roughly going to be the distance over which light could travel since the birth of the Universe.
		The strong electron-photon interaction means that before 500,000 years, the Universe was opaque to radiation, that is, the Universe was "foggy" in that light would not travel very far before it interacted with matter.

	A Brief History of the Big Bang (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Until 1998, astronomers thought that the expansion of the universe ought to be slowing.
		The universe may still collapse, even with a non-zero cosmological constant at work, so long as the density of matter in space is high enough.
		However, the data of 1998 suggests that, because the universe seems to be accelerating in its expansion, in this epoch in any case, the universe will expand forever to become a cold, dark, boring place in the distant future.

	ASP: Cosmic Calendar
		In "Cosmic Calendar", students scale the evolution of the universe to a one year calendar, with the Big Bang occuring on the first moment of January 1st.
		While there is currently some controversy about the exact numbers, astronomers estimate that the universe began some 12 to 20 billion years ago in the explosion of space, time, matter and energy we call the Big Bang.
		Despite the fact that the national debt is even larger, most students have difficulty grasping how large a span of time this is compared to their own lifetimes or to the events they read about in history.

	The Universe
		The quantum wavelength of the universe was larger than the size of the universe itself.
		In the past year astronomical observations of type Ia supernovas have led to the conclusion that the universe is not only eexpanding and will expand forever, but also that it is accelerating as it expands, with a long- range "antigravity" repulsive force driving its expansion.
		So the book-keeping seems to be that about 70% of the energy in the universe is in the vacuum, about 5% is in the form of normal matter (protons, planets, stars,galaxies, etc.), and the remaining 25% is "dark matter", mysterious invisible particles that inhabit the haloes of galaxies.

	ESA - Science - Home - So, how did everything start?
		When it is at a temperature of 1000 GeV (about 10 million million degrees), the forces of nature assume their present properties (such as gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak forces) and the 'quarks', the elementary particles that are the building blocks of matter, wander freely.
		The Universe is a fifth of its present size.
		When the Universe is half its present size, the nuclear reactions inside the stars have already produced most of the chemical elements that are needed to make Earth-like planets.

	Timeline of the Mario Universe
		This is one of the harder games to place on the timeline because most of the game takes place in the past, way before Yoshi's Island, so there's not a whole lot to go on for deciding when "the present" was for this game.
		At the moment this game would fit right at the end of the timeline, since all the other adventures are somewhat delayed between when they actually happened and when the game was made.
		Many are sure to fit in the middle of the timeline, some may fall after Mario Party 4, and who knows, there could even be a backstory of some kind before Yoshi's Island.
