What will the universe do if a cosmological constant is positive?

It will expand more rapidly.


The gravity of a black hole is so strong that nothing not even light can escape it-How then did all matter in the universe escape the singularity of the big bang-an infinitesmal point?

The matter didn't have much choice -- the space that is our Universe began to expand, driven by something greater than gravity, and took the matter within it along for the "ride." At present, scientists do not know why space began to expand, any more than they understand why there is lightning in the sky. They are working on both questions.


Why do astronomers theorize that there is dark energy in the universe?

There are several pieces of evidence for dark matter. For example: * Our galaxy, and many other galaxies, rotate way too fast for the amount of known matter. * Evidence from gravitational lensing.


What is the explosion that created the universe called?

If you are referring to the Big Bang, I am afraid that there is not really an answer for you. Cosmology (the study of the universe and its origin) is such a recently developed science that there is yet not way to explain why the Big Bang occurred in any terms more than conjecture. It is thought to have been caused either by a collision or rubbing together of other universes, or a presence of enough room in the 'multiverse' for another universe to form. If you really want to pursue an answer to this question, the best answer I can give you is this: become a cosmologist.


Does Every Galaxy Merge Eventually?

The answer to this is we do not know but it looks unlikely.The expansion of the universe appears to be speeding up. Local Galaxies might merge into larger galaxies but these galaxies will expand faster and faster away from each other.
