I was watching a recent Hubble telescope show on TV and some of the statements by scientists were quite startling.
There is five times more Dark Matter [DM] (we don’t know what this is) then there is Physical Matter[PM].(atoms, chemicals etc.)
Otherwise galaxies would fly apart – something is holding them together – Dark Matter.
Even if you add the Dark Matter and the Physical Matter, the universe is still missing 2/3 of the matter.
Let’s say that we have knowledge of 1/1000 of the physical world.( I’m being generous, but we have to start somewhere.)
If PW = X
What we know = 1/1000X
DM = 5X
X + 5 X = 1/3 Total (T)
6X = 1/3 T
18X = T
What we know of everything = 1/18000 = .0000555

As I’m helping a friend with a budgeting program for kids, I thought I might post the one-page budget I’ve used ever since college. You can find it at (click here) If you have group which would like a presentation on this subject let me know.
I recently did a program for a 5th grade class and at the beginning of the class they all repeated this positive affirmation. It’s a mantra most adults could use also.
I am SOMEBODY.
I am capable and lovable.
I am teachable and therefore I can learn.
I respect myself and others.
I am going to be the best that I can be each day.
I am using my time well because it is valuable
and I am too precious and bright.
I am SOMEBODY.
