These skewed numbers change the population proportions and result in ‘marriage squeeze’.
Marriage squeeze
It happens when prospective grooms far outnumber prospective brides, which further results in human trafficking for marriage as well as child marriages

Dark energy
● Unknown form of energy that spread throughout all of space
●It's sort of anti-gravity, a repulsive force
●This results ultimately in accelerating the expansion of the universe.
●It accounts roughly 68 % of the universe’s total mass and energy.
●Dark Energy is far more dominant force then Dark matter

🔴Gravitational lens
-A gravitational lens is a distribution of matter (such as a cluster of galaxies) between a distant light source and an observer that is capable of bending the light from the source as the light travels toward the observer.
-This effect is known as gravitational lensing, and the amount of bending is one of the predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Einstein RIng is result of Gravitaional Lens
🔥What is Einstein RIng?
-An Einstein ring, also known as an Einstein–Chwolson ring or Chwolson ring (named for Orest Chwolson), is created when light from a galaxy or star passes by a massive object en route to the Earth.

🔥What is ‘zombie ice’?
-Also referred to as dead or doomed ice, zombie ice is one that is not accumulating fresh snow even while continuing to be part of the parent ice sheet. Such ice is “committed” to melting away and increasing sea levels.
- Will be responsible for sea level rise due to climate change
