Science

Mass

The amount of “stuff” inside an object

Particle

A tiny piece of matter (like a proton and electron)

Nucleus

The tight center of an atom that contains protons and neutrons

Atom

The basic building block of all physical matter

Force

Any push or pull exerted on an object

Law of conservation

The principal stating matter and energy cannot be credited or destroyed, only transformed

Universe

The ultimate “giant container” that holds all matter, energy, space and time

Matter

Anything that has mass and take up space (the bricks)

Energy

The ability to do work or cause change (the currency)

Motion

A change in position relative to reference point overtime (the action)

Strong nuclear force

The “cosmic superglue” that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus

Electromagnetic force

The force of attraction/repulsion between charge particles that bond atoms together

Gravitational force

The attractive force between all matter in the universe that forms planets, stars, and galaxies

Redshift

The stretching of light waves toward the red end of the spectrum as galaxies move away

CMBR

Faint leftover microwave heat from the early universe

Abundance ratio

The original predicted and observed ratio of 75% hydrogen to 25% helium in space
