Only a fraction of it—the observable Universe—is visible to us. The whole Universe may be vastly bigger than this, perhaps infinitely so. This is hard to visualize, so scientists use the metaphor of a two-dimensional rubber sheet to explain the idea.
The mass of the Universe could bend this rubber sheet in one of three ways, depending on how densely packed with matter the Universe is. Most scientists now think the shape of the Universe is flat. Looking back in time Because light takes time to travel, when we look into space we are looking back in time.
The most distant objects visible are galaxies photographed by the Hubble Telescope. We see them as they were 13 billion years ago.
The elements hydrogen and helium make up 98 percent of the matter we can see in the Universe. As a result, astronomers think galaxies contain dark matter, which we cannot see. They use their knowledge and skill to derive meaning from the primary sources, and perhaps make some predictions about the future. Topics covered: Hack attacks--which is to say, tools and techniques for getting services and information you're not really supposed to have--through the ages mostly in the s, s, and early s.

Carmada reviews Hack Attacks Encyclopedia By A Customer 'We're sure someone's thought of this idea before, but it took John Chirillo to pull it off: an encyclopedia of 30 years of hacks, cracks, phreaks, and related endeavors.
Yes, there's now a single authoritative reference for all of it. If you were too young for the '60s or early '70s, Chirillo quotes some anarchist texts that put you right in the spirit. His timelines and narratives then take you through 'the golden age' ; 'the great hacker war' ; the age of 'zero tolerance' , and beyond the millennium.
Of course, the heart of the book isn't the narrative. A veritable cornucopia of digital anarchy. Bill Camarda '. Hands down the best book available on infosec By Dennis M. Well constructed text all about cyberculture and the dark underside of security.
