  22. Vera Ruben studied the rotation rate of stars around the centers of galaxies. According to Newton's theory of gravitation, stars closer to the center of the galaxy should be moving more rapidly around the center of the galaxy than stars farther out from the center. Is that what Dr. Rubin found, and if not, what did she find to be true?



  23. Carlos Frenk discovered that without dark matter, computer simulations of the universe did not form galaxies. For galaxies to form, Frenk found which of the following to be true:
    (a) Dark matter had to be one fifth the mass of visible matter.
    (b) Dark matter had to be equal to the mass of visible matter.
    (c) Dark matter had to be five times the mass of visible matter.
  24. The Soudan mine dark matter experiment searched for dark matter particles called ____________________.
  25. ________ Does dark matter interact with itself?
  26. More recent research has revealed the existence of dark energy. Dark energy is an unknown source of energy that is causing the universe to expand faster and faster. In the phantom energy theory dark energy will eventually rip the universe apart in an event called the "Big Rip." When will the Big Rip happen?
    (a) Before final examinations (b) This summer (c) Within your lifetime (d) Billions of years from now
