Universe

The Universe is all of time and space and its contents. The Universe includes planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, the smallest subatomic particles, and all matter and energy. The observable universe is about 28 billion parsecs (91 billion light-years) in diameter at the present time. The size of the whole Universe is not known and may be either finite or infinite. Observations and the development of physical theories have led to inferences about the composition and evolution of the Universe.

The Universe (student newspaper)

The Universe (formerly The Daily Universe) is the official student newspaper for Brigham Young University (BYU) and was started in 1956. It was first titled Y News, which was then changed to The Blue and White and finally to The Daily Universe. The Universe is part of a larger news organization called BYU NewsNet, which was the first integrated (Web, radio, newspaper, and television) news organization in the world.

The paper was printed Monday through Friday, except during school breaks and some holidays. It was distributed free of charge on BYU campus and is sent around the world to alumni and friends of the university for a small fee. On January 12, 2012, the BYU Communications Department announced the newspaper's move to digital. Beginning in 2012, content continued to be published online daily while the print newspaper began being published only once a week. Other articles can be found on the The Daily Universe Website.

The editors, writers, photographers and copy editors are all students, some paid, some reporting for a journalism class. The opinion pieces in the paper are overseen by an editorial board that includes student staff, professional staff, university professors and local professionals.

The Universe (Dubai)

The Universe was a planned artificial archipelago in the shape of the Milky Way and Solar System, that would be built off the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The project was announced in January 2008 by the developer Nakheel, which also built the Palm Islands and The World archipelago. It was stated to be completed sometime between 2023 and 2028, but as of 2009, the project has been placed on hold. The dredging companies Van Oord and Jan de Nul, the same companies used for the Palm Islands and The World, would create up to 3,000 hectares of land.

The Universe is to be located between the Palm Jumeirah, The World, the Jumeirah coast and the Palm Deira.

Current status

The Universe project was in the planning stages, but was placed on hold in 2009. Nakheel's website continued to list The Universe as a "future project", however as of 11 April 2015 it had been removed.
