Why do most Scientists think that 98% of life is dangerous?
Whenever Scientists launch something in space, one of them return damaged or broken. Scientists think maybe outside life assume that the things they launch are maybe trying to harm them that's why it returns damaged.

Where did the Big Bang occur?
The Big Bang occured right at the center of space with an explosion so loud! Scientists have found this out because when they were investigating in space with a vibration tool. More vibration occured at the left side (Milky Way is at the left side) while no sound came at the centre. So that means our galaxy is the youngest, while one of the galaxies at the centre is the oldest, so since the Big Bang happened at the centre,that galaxy is the oldest.

What is the Black Hole?
The Black Hole is an empty hole in space that snacks on planets. The Black Hole's gravity is so powerful that nothing can escape from its force. The Black Hole sucks up planets till its full, then sleeps for 5 years, then awakens to snack again! There are about a billion black holes in the universe. Imagine a black hole snacking on earth! scary!!
