#4 What is core collapse - supernova explosions
#5 Big Bang Theory
#4: Core collapse in a super/hypernovae; basically yes, and is called a "Gamma Ray Burst." The Gamma ray burst is the most violent event in the universe and is so bright that it actually lights up the universe.
#6: Sorry, not the Big Bang Theory 😀
Good going!

#8 What is the subatomic level?[/quote
Ready for this? It may be even a trillion times below the subatomic level... Physicists have given this "point of no return" a definition, so as to enable them to discuss it; however, if you ask an astrophysicist to define "The ___________," they will say, "We don't know and we have no idea." It is a place where it defies reason, science, and is totally incomprehensible Man has not developed the science and mathematics as yet to explain and prove it exists.

# 6 So many theories. Spontaneous Creation, Grand design, String, M therories.
My answer is No one knows for sure.

# 6 So many theories. Spontaneous Creation, Grand design, String, M therories.
My answer is No one knows for sure.
Theories, theories, theories...
The answer here is: Supernovea. When you look up into our universe and see these massive exploding stars, "Give 'em a wave" and say hello to Mom and Dad. Supernovea/ Hypernovea provide all that is required to make our universe and EVERYTHING that is in it.

Darn, I called Doug at work last night and he said it was an exploding star. I told him he was wrong.:D

😀 Really??? Ah-HA! Clever guy; he was right! LOL, especially when you told him he was wrong...(Here's a special "Doug" Answer for him: "A teaspoon of it would weigh 100 million tons." Doug seems to like the cosmos...:-)

#9 What is the shuttle orbitor Enterprise[/quote
#9 - The shuttle Orbitor Enterprise! Trekkie fans made NASA change the name.
Another hint for Doug's Answer: A teaspoon of it can also weigh 1 billion tons! And some are only 20km in diameter!

#10 ...a random fluctuation in the sub-Planck level, quantum vacuum
... white hole
... the Ekpyrotic Universe and colliding branes
...anthropic multiverse
and, of course
...42

Left are #8 and #10. Great work! (Doug's ANSWER: One teaspoon of it can weigh 1 billion tons. Hint: Some rotate in the cosmos..)

Thanks Swan. Another interesting game of Jeopardy. I will have to leave it to someone else to answer #8 and #10. My brain is fried. I wish more posters would participate. I know literally nothing about these topics so I have to research so it is a fun learning experience. The only ones I knew were #1 and #2 and I even got #1 wrong at first because I wasn't thinking. It is also a fun family game. All of us racing each other on our computers trying to beat the others with the right answer. It makes for some interesting conversation as well.

G'day,
Update: Two - one Question and one Answer remain:
#8 - ANSWER: The point at which The Law of General Relativity, Quantum Theory, and Physics as we know it completely fall apart.
(HINT) The force at the end of this phenomenon is so great that it defies science, mathematics, and imagination,; it enters into 'infinity'...infinity can not be comprehended. - not yet anyway. This is related to a massive star. 😀
#10 - This one is a QUESTION; You provide the ANSWER: "WHY?"
(HINT) The question has nothing to do with science in particular. It is simply, "Why/"
(HINT) The answer comprises 2 words...

G'day,: I have posted the results to the remaining Jeopardy answers:
#8 - ANSWER: The point at which The Law of General Relativity, Quantum Theory, and Physics as we know it completely fall apart. The Singularity - somewhere at the "end" of the Black Hole.
#10 - This one is a QUESTION; You provide the ANSWER: "WHY?" - Why Not.
The extra question posted: A teaspoon of it can weigh 1 billion tons...and its density is greater than a 747 compressed into a grain of sand; and great as all humanity compressed into a cube of sugar. The Neutron Star. If it's spinning, it is called the Pulsar; some rotate at 36000 miles per second. It boggles the imagination, doesn't it?
I will post ISS as soon as I have the information as to when she will return in the evening hours...many thanks for your interest in ISS! 😀 And thank you Houston.
