We think we know how the universe was created, and we have guesses about how old is might be...but we don't know what 90 percent of it is made of.
In the 1930s, astronomer Fritz Zwicky determined the only way to explain the gravity you could see affecting stars and galaxies, was to conclude there must be far more mass out there than what is detected by our telescopes. Astronomers call this mass "Dark Matter" and have been searching for it ever since. Lately, that search has been heating up. Scientists have constructed maps of the universe showing where there are concentrations of dark matter.

People were born, grew up, grew old and died. Days, seasons and years past. Then along came Newton and told us there was nothing in the laws of the universe that forced time to march forward. And Einstein developed this further with the idea that time could be stretched or shrunk, depending on how you looked at it. Now physicists are looking at the nature of time itself.
