    Five words are shown below:Farthest Universe Spontaneously Photon InfiniteThese words can be used in the spaces P, Q, R, S, and T to complete the sentences below.The _P_ is a stable particle and therefore it does not decay _Q_ into any other particle. Its lifetime is, therefore, _R_ so long it does not undergo interaction with other particles, and is why photons are supposed to be reaching our earth from _S_ distances of the universe. Thus most of our information regarding the _T_ is carried by photons.
