Q. What is the plot of The Time Machine by HG Wells?
H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine offers a dystopian vision of humanity’s future. A scientist builds a time machine and travels to future. He finds that humanity has devolved into two races: the childlike Eloi and the monstrous Morlocks. His machine disappears, so he explores the future world.

Q. What happened in the time machine?
The Time Traveller had finally finished work on his time machine, and it rocketed him into the future. When the machine stops, in the year 802,701 AD, he finds himself in a paradisiacal world of small humanoid creatures called Eloi. They are frail and peaceful, and give him fruit to eat.
Q. Who is faster light or darkness?
Most of us already know that darkness is the absence of light, and that light travels at the fastest speed possible for a physical object. In this respect, darkness has the same speed as light.
Q. Is darkness an element?
Darkness is simply the absence of light. Nothing more, nothing less. Therefore, it cannot be classified as an element or an elementary cause.
Q. Is dark energy faster than light?
Yes! Dark energy consists of neutrinos and neutrino-like symmetric particles that travel at (infinitesimally) greater than the speed of light.
Q. How dangerous is dark matter?
But more-massive pieces of dark matter known as macroscopic dark matter, or macros, could lurk in the cosmos. In theory, macros could directly interact with physical objects such as human bodies, causing “significant damage,” according to the new study titled “Death by Dark Matter.”
Q. Can we detect dark energy?
Scientists have not yet observed dark matter directly. It doesn’t interact with baryonic matter and it’s completely invisible to light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, making dark matter impossible to detect with current instruments.
Q. Which is faster light or sound?
The speed of light as it travels through air and space is much faster than that of sound; it travels at 300 million meters per second or 273,400 miles per hour. Speed of light in a vacuum and air = 300 million m/s or 273,400 mph. Speed of light in water = 226 million m/s or 205,600 mph.
Q. How fast can a human think?
In the 19th Century, Hermann von Helmholtz estimated this to be 35 metres per second, but we now know that some well-insulated nerves are faster, at up 120 metres per second.
