 Rating: - a new and very interesting view of the cosmosThis DVD presented a interesting information that really challenges older views of the universe.

He had no proof. In time, however, he came to believe that this thought was a blunder on his part. Now, as it turns out, he may have been right after all. This mysterious energy is known as Dark Energy and certain scientists believe that it occupies at least two-thirds of the known universe with Dark Matter filling most of the last third. Matter, as we know ... Read More |
