The storyline references several media in the Star Trek universe, incorporating plot elements from television shows Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Next Generation as well as the then-recently released film Star Trek: Insurrection.

Battlefleet Gothic is themed on battles incorporating space-faring fleets of the different races highlighted by the Warhammer 40, 000 universe canon.

This theory involves the universe incorporating a " fail-safe " by destroying any instance or timeline that deviates from a main timeline to prevent multiple universes from existing.

In the case of the " crossover " annuals, the number of characters and annuals involved in a crossover story varied ; some were company-wide, incorporating virtually every character in the publisher's shared universe whose series received an annual edition, but many used smaller groups of characters, often those whose series had some sort of in-story connection ( such as series featuring members of teams or " extended families " of characters, such as Marvel's X-Men or Avengers, or DC's Justice League or Teen Titans ).

According to this doctrine, the universe was ruled by Heaven, T'ien -- as a natural force, or in the personification of a Supreme Sky-god -- governing all things by means of a process called the Tao, which can be roughly interpreted as `` the Order of the Universe '' or `` the Universal Way ''.

and as this music ebbs and flows, there is an antiphonal chorus from all the atoms outside, in fact from the atoms of the entire universe.

First of all, and this has been calculated by observation, the universe is expanding -- that is, the galaxies are receding from each other at immense speeds.

For this reason, he says, the density of the universe always remains the same even though the galaxies are zooming away in all directions.

Sometimes slightly stronger theories such as Morse-Kelley set theory or set theory with a strongly inaccessible cardinal allowing the use of a Grothendieck universe are used, but in fact most mathematicians can actually prove all they need in systems weaker than ZFC, such as second-order arithmetic.

She is also the only one in Poirot's universe to have noted that " It ’ s not natural for five or six people to be on the spot when B is murdered and all have a motive for killing B.

The Amber multiverse consists of Amber, a city at one pole of the universe wherein is found the Pattern, the symbol of Order ; The Courts of Chaos, an assembly of worlds at the other pole where can be found the Logrus, the manifestation of Chaos, and the Abyss, the source or end of all reality ; and Shadow, the collection of all possible universes ( shadows ) between and around them.

To prevent this unphysical situation from happening, Dirac proposed that a " sea " of negative-energy electrons fills the universe, already occupying all of the lower-energy states so that, due to the Pauli exclusion principle, no other electron could fall into them.

In all the Stargate television series, characters are able to communicate instantaneously over long distances by transferring their consciousness into another person or being anywhere in the universe using " Ancient communication stones ".

Being to Hobbes ( and the other empiricists ) is the physical universe: The world, ( I mean ... the Universe, that is, the whole masse of all things that are ) is corporeall, that is to say, Body ; and hath the dimension of magnitude, namely, Length, Bredth and Depth: also every part of Body, is likewise Body ... and consequently every part of the Universe is Body, and that which is not Body, is no part of the Universe: and because the Universe is all, that which is no part of it is nothing ; and consequently no where.

In 1927 Fuller resolved to think independently which included a commitment to " the search for the principles governing the universe and help advance the evolution of humanity in accordance with them ... finding ways of doing more with less to the end that all people everywhere can have more and more.

" Fuller referred to himself as " the property of universe " and during one radio interview he gave later in life, declared himself and his work " the property of all humanity ".

In 1931 Lemaître went further and suggested that the evident expansion of the universe, if projected back in time, meant that the further in the past the smaller the universe was, until at some finite time in the past all the mass of the Universe was concentrated into a single point, a " primeval atom " where and when the fabric of time and space came into existence.

The Bahá ' í writings describe a single, personal, inaccessible, omniscient, omnipresent, imperishable, and almighty God who is the creator of all things in the universe.

In the class of planets would be Mercury, Venus, the Earth, and all the other planets that there might be in the universe.

Cosmologists are still unable to explain all cosmological phenomena exactly on the basis of known conventional forms of energy, such as those related to the accelerating expansion of the universe.

Cosmologists therefore invoke a yet unexplored form of energy called dark energy ( dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe ) which account for certain cosmological observations mostly related to " accelerating expansion of Universe ".

As a direct consequence of this expansion, all of the observable universe originated in a small causally connected region.

Although all known chemical matter is composed of these elements, chemical matter itself constitutes only about 15 % of the matter in the universe.

Gerald Jonas of The New York Times noted that " Against all odds, the universe of Dune keeps getting richer in texture, more challenging in its moral dilemmas.

The glow is very nearly uniform in all directions, but the tiny remaining variations show a very specific pattern equal to that expected of a fairly uniformly distributed hot gas that has expanded to the current size of the universe.

The concept that all the different areas of research are studying one real, existing universe is an apparent explanation of why scientific knowledge determined in one field of inquiry has often helped in understanding other fields.

Three of these men discussed major theories of the universe while the other acted as a moderator.

This Value-system helps us to develop two basic ideas 1 ) that of ' Daksha ' or the adept / expert and 2 ) of Mahana / Parama or the Absolute and thus to judge anything in this universe in the light of these two measures, known as ' Adarsha '.

However, as these become diluted, the cosmological constant becomes more dominant and the expansion of the universe starts to accelerate rather than decelerate.

In this sense they are reminiscent of the oscillatory universe proposed by Richard Chace Tolman: however in Tolman's model the total age of the universe is necessarily finite, while in these models this is not necessarily so.

Some of these configurations lead to inflation … Other configurations lead to a uniform, flat universe directly – without inflation.

The half-lives of these metastable " theoretical radionuclides " are so long ( at least 100 million times longer than the estimated age of the universe ) that their radioactive decay has yet to be detected by experiment.

As physical laws and processes appear common throughout the visible universe, however, it is expected that these galaxies will likewise have evolved similar abundances of elements.

Many-worlds interpretations say that an electron hits wherever there is a possibility that it might hit, and that each of these hits occurs in a separate universe.

Research on these geometries led to, among other things, Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes the universe as non-Euclidean.

Rita Oleyar describes these writers as " on the whole, reverent and faithful to the primal myths, but filled with their own insights into the nature of God, man, and the universe ".

The locations where these adventures occur, such as a city, country, planet or an entire fictional universe, are also sometimes called ' campaigns ' but are more correctly referred to as ' worlds ' or ' campaign settings '.

Discordianism is centered on the idea that both order and disorder are illusions imposed on the universe by the human nervous system, and that neither of these illusions of apparent order and disorder are any more accurate or objectively true than the other.

Dark matter's existence is inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter and gravitational lensing of background radiation, and was originally hypothesized to account for discrepancies between calculations of the mass of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and the entire universe made through dynamical and general relativistic means, and calculations based on the mass of the visible " luminous " matter these objects contain: stars and the gas and dust of the interstellar and intergalactic medium.

From these figures, dark matter constitutes 83 %, ( 23 /( 23 + 4. 6 )), of the matter in the universe, whereas ordinary matter makes up only 17 %.

All these lines of evidence suggest that galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the universe as a whole contain far more matter than that which interacts with electromagnetic radiation.

The most accepted theory of how these structures came to be is that all the large-scale structure of the cosmos we observe today was formed as a consequence of the growth of the primordial fluctuations, which are small changes in the density of the universe in a confined region.

Lemaître used these solutions to formulate the earliest version of the Big Bang models, in which our universe has evolved from an extremely hot and dense earlier state.

If the entire volume of the observable universe ( taken to be 3 × 10 < sup > 80 </ sup > m < sup > 3 </ sup >) were packed solid with fine dust particles about 1. 5 micrometres in size, then the number of different ways of ordering these particles ( that is, assigning the number 1 to one particle, then the number 2 to another particle, and so on until all particles are numbered ) would be approximately one googolplex.

In 1755, Immanuel Kant introduced the term " island universe " for these distant nebulae.

A group of galaxies is the most common type of galactic cluster, and these formations contain a majority of the galaxies ( as well as most of the baryonic mass ) in the universe.

Furthermore, there seemed to be a bizarre reverse-Cassandra effect operating in the universe: whereas the mythical Cassandra spoke the awful truth and was not believed, these days " experts " spoke awful falsehoods, and they were believed.

Of these ideas, Coleridge's emphasised the vastness of the universe and his feeling overwhelmed by how little the universe seemed to him.
