A nice short read from Neil Degrasse Tyson that explains the most relevant concepts in astrophysics in a relatively digestable way
Rating: 3/5
The laws of physics are true, whether or not you believe in them
Comet cluster and Zumidy experiments show that galaxies are moving so fast that they shouldn’t be together and yet they are because of dark matter
Dark matter exists but doesn’t follow the rules of normal physics
Dark matter is 6 times as strong as normal gravity but also can’t see it
Your brain is a satchel of preconceived ideas, post-conceived notions and bias
Smallest surface for an enclosed volume is a sphere
More stars than words and sounds uttered by every human who ever lived
