the universe( dark matter)
actually, the amount of dark matter in the universe is more like 25%. The funny thing about dark matter is that it is sort of like looking for a black cat in a coal cellar in the middle of the night without any lights. There are no known methods for detecting dark matter.
The reason that we believe that it exists is due to gravitational forces: Observable matter like stars and stuff like that just do not generate the amount of mass needed to hold a galaxy together. Consider how sand slips through your fingers instead of gravitationally binding together, and how the Earth is a 6 sextillion ton ball of rock that holds itself together despite the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon. Going by regular matter alone, galaxies should fly apart like sand. Something is holding galaxies together. We call it dark matter because we assume it to be a form of particle that we are not yet able to detect. Some scientists even believe that general relativity breaks down on a galactic or extragalactic scale, much the same way general relativity breaks down on a quantum scale, which is why we are not able to calculate why the galaxies are holding themselves together.
So in a nutshell, the reason we know dark matter exists is through indirect observation of galaxies, and that percentage is the amount of dark matter (in relation to regular matter) needed to hold a galaxy together.
I mentioned dark matter being about 25%, with conventional matter being about 5%. The remaining 70% is an even more mysterious phenomenon: dark energy. In the 1990's scientists observed something baffling: the universe not only seems to be getting bigger, but it seems to be accelerating. Galaxies are moving faster away from each other now than they did a billion years ago. Calculations in order to accelerate the growth at this rate indicate that 70% of the universe must be made up of this dark energy.

sopa
SOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act. The Act itself allows copyright holders to challenge the use of their content in any form on the internet. This act would obviously end things like pirate bay and Torrent, but it would also have consequences for internet sites like you tube. for example you produce a video on youtube of you doing something interesting and then set it to music. Well, if you didn't produce that music the owner of the music (more likely the label or company) will be able to force you to take it down. This would be done as action against you tube itself, and might make Youtube no longer viable. The mechanism is extrajudicial favouring the copywriter holder who can demand content to be taken down or ask for a ban on payment for a product by credit card companies before the uploader can challenge this claim. It's pretty much the enforcement of copy write laws to the point of censorship. it pretty much ruins the internet. You would be limited to do things in internet. So for this sites like Google , Wikipedia, etc protested against it saying that if u start sopa the internet as we know will no longer be .

my favorite PC games
I play many games at PC. I actually learned to use computers by playing games in the computer. At first i used to play mini games or chess or cards, and then i moved on to racing games. It was pretty popular those days, the controls were easy to use you just had to use the four arrow keys on the keyboard. The games like Need for speed and other games. After that when i was in third grade, i found that most of my friends also played games similar to mine. I was quite surprised about that. Then from that time we used to play all kinds of games. We played First person shooter (FPS), strategy games, multiplayer games and arcade games and the best fighting games. We used to trade games to each other. it was very fun. Gaming was my best time pass. I used to play street fighter, tekken 5. Then i used to get bored very fast, and the only game that wasn't that boring was real-time strategy games, for eg: Empire Earth, Age of empires, AOE-II, etc. in those game you had to build your empire from a small village. i enjoyed other games but this id the one i enjoyed the most

graffiti
Graffiti art is an form of art.Graffiti art originated in the late 1960's, and it has been developing ever since.There are many types of graffiti known as graffiti art, subway art, or spray can art. Many say it is crime and vandalism but i don't think it is. Graffiti is the way of expressing yourself through crazy art, it is also way of raising public awareness, sending a message to public and also used in political ways.As graffiti was introduced to the art world, two trends happened. One, the art world of collectors, dealers, curators, artists, and the like helped graffiti evolve in style, presumably by sharing their artistic knowledge with the newcomers. Two, the exposure helped to expand graffiti to all parts of the world. Subway or street art is any art developed in public spaces that is, "in the streets" and in walls or other private places. Graffiti artist are very good in art. They have their own way of doing things or making graffiti art. They have crazy imaginations and are too good to be true. Graffiti is an art that not anyone can do they should have crazy imaginations and an art that catches peoples eye. I like Graffiti very much and Graffiti is awesome.
