Photons

• state of matter that consists of charged particles, super hot and dense

• states all matter & energy in the universe was compressed into an extremely small volume, then expanded

• negative 273 degrees Celsius; temp. at which all particle motion stops

• galaxies are moving away at a speed that is proportional to their distance

• massless particles of electromagnetic radiation, light
