9. If the expansion of the universe is to stop, there must be enough invisible matter in the universe to exceed the luminous matter in density by a factor of roughly 70.

10. Instead we have found that the rotational velocity in spiral galaxies either remains constant with increasing distance from the center or increases slightly.

Seeking to maintain exclusive control over VCR distribution, Beta producers were reluctant to form such alliances and eventually lost ground to VHS in the competition for the global VCR market.

比如B模式率先于1975年将VCR商业化，但是其竞争对手--VHS模式在与其他生产商和分销商组成战略联盟和合作以及生产和推销VCR方面更为成功。
