What was Rubin and Ford surprising discovery? (p 155)         What did this imply? (p 156)

What was an earlier observation that implied the same thing? (p 157)

What is the big crunch? (p 158)             What is the big chill? (p 158)

What determine which will happen? (p 158)

To what do the terms flat, open, closed refer? (p 158) 

What does W represent? (p 158)

DYKT Einstein thought that gravity curved space back upon itself like a sphere? (p 160)

What percent of matter is visible? (p 160)

How close was W to 1 right after the big bang? (p 161,2)

The universe is more highly structured than was once thought. What does that mean? (p 162)

How many galaxies are in the Great Attractor? (p 162)

In what way is the galactic distribution "foamlike" (p 162)
