What is the role that gravity played in the formation of planets stars and solar systems and in determining their motions?

There is no doubt that planets, stars, and solar systems could not ever have formed without gravity. All of these astronomical objects condensed out of clouds of interstellar gas and dust, under the influence of gravity. It is also true that planets orbit stars only because of the gravitational attraction of those stars.


Who did Zeus favor?

That was the most-shocking stupidity I have ever heard. Zeus favored his daughter Athena for her wiseness. He was the only one she ever accepted orders from. Athena was born straight out of Zeus's brain.


What is the universe's universe made of?

Well its made of matter and a whole other things that has not been discovered and will never ever ever ever ever ever ever be discovered because its impossible to find out.


Why is Jupiter sometimes referred to as a Failed star?

Good question. It is unlikely, though, as there simply is not enough matter in Saturn to have enough gravitational pull to produce enough heat at the centre to induce thermonuclear reactions to form a star - even a small one. Even Jupiter, which is much more massive, is nowhere near massive enough. This idea has been talked about for years. Arthur C Clarke, probably the greatest science fiction writer (well, one of the greatest with Isaac Asimov) and visionary of the 20th century suggested that very thing in 2011 - the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the sequel, the alien monolith appears in Jupiter's Giant Red Spot and causes Jupiter to ignite into a star, thus becoming 'Lucifer' the source of energy which helps thaw Europa's oceans (one of Jupiter's moons) and create a spurt in the evolution of life there. Sadly, however, this is all fiction. Even where planets much larger than Jupiter have been discovered in orbit round other stars, these too have been simply too small to become suns in their own right. So to call Saturn a 'failed' star implies that it could have possiblybecome a star but somehow failed to achiieve this. In the same way, I have 'failed' to become a mother. But as I am male, then I could not possibly have 'failed' in this task (I am a father though - twice over!). So, as Saturn could never be a star to begin with, in that sense, it could not have failed.


Who was the first person to breathe moon's air?

No person has ever breathed the moon's air, as the moon does not have an atmosphere suitable for humans to breathe. The Apollo missions that landed astronauts on the moon between 1969 and 1972 brought their own life support systems.
