The Universe seems to have a speed limit, called the "speed of light". This speed limit is approximately 300,000 kilometers/second. Light travels at that speed; so do other electromagnetic waves. Gravity waves are believed to travel at the speed of light as well. Finally, it is possible for particles to travel at a speed very close to the speed of light. Neutrinos tend to travel very close to the speed of light; also, cosmic rays contain very high-energy particles which also travel very close to the speed of light.

What is the universes most common matter?

According to current estimates, the mass in the Universe is made up of: * 68% dark energy. Not much is known yet about this type of substance. * 27% dark matter. Not much is known about this type of substance, either. * 5% regular matter - matter of known composition. Most of the regular matter is in the form of atoms; and most of it is in a state of matter known as a plasma.


What do the other universes look like?

Parallel universes may, or may not, exist. While it is hypothesized that there may be other universes, there is no certainty that they do exist - nor, for that matter, is there any certainty that they DON'T exist. Since we don't know whether such "ohter universes" exist, we don't know what they look like either - although it has been speculated that other universes may have a different number of dimensions, or there may be other significant differences in physical laws, compared to our own universe. If this is the case, most such universes may be unsuitable for any sort of life.

What material does light pass through fastest?

Light travels fastest through vacuum, which is the absence of any material. In other materials, light typically travels slightly slower due to interactions with the atoms or particles in the material.
