UNIVERSE
1,000,000,000,000 YBN	1) We are a tiny part of a universe that is made of an infinite amount of space, matter and time.
990,000,000,000 YBN	2) There is more space than matter. MORE INFO [1]
980,000,000,000 YBN	3) All matter is made of particles of light.2 FOOTNOTES 1. ^ Ted Huntington. 2. ^ Ted Huntington.
970,000,000,000 YBN	11) The universe has no start or end. The same light particles that have always been, continue to move in the space that has always been.2 FOOTNOTES 1. ^ Ted Huntington. 2. ^ Ted Huntington.
960,000,000,001 YBN	5) Matter and motion can never be created or destroyed. Matter can never be converted into motion, and motion can never be converted into matter.2 FOOTNOTE S 1. ^ Ted Huntington. 2. ^ Ted Huntington.
950,000,000,000 YBN	6) Light particles become trapped with each other and so form structures such as protons, atoms, molecules, planets, stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies.2 FOOTNOTES 1. ^ Ted Huntington. 2. ^ Ted Huntington.
940,000,000,000 YBN	7) All of the billions of galaxies we see are only a tiny part of the universe. We will never see most of the universe because no light particles from there can ever reach us.2 FOOTNOTES 1. ^ Ted Huntington 2. ^ Ted Huntington MORE INFO [1] Carl Sagan, "Cosmos", Carl Sagan Productions, KCET Los Angeles, (1980). (estimate of how many galaxies)
935,000,000,000 YBN	4) There is a pattern in the universe. Light particles move from where there is less space to where there is more space. As an empty space becomes filled, light particles form gas clouds called nebuli, and then galaxies of stars. Living objects grow around stars and pull stars together to form globular clusters and then form a globular (also called "elliptical") galaxy. Living objects need matter to stop their decay. Globular galaxies have a regular input and output of light particles. When a volume of space becomes very dense, more light particles exit than enter the space. Light particles that exit to more empty spaces form new nebulae and galaxies and so this cycle continues. Stars at our scale may be light particles at a much larger scale, just as light particles at our scale may be stars at a much smaller scale. This system may go on infinitely in both larger and smaller scale.2 FOOTNOTES 1. ^ Ted Huntington. 2. ^ Ted Huntington.
