Massive dead disk galaxy challenges theories of galaxy evolution
https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0621145150.htm
This galaxy (3 times the mass of the milky way) is a compact object
spinning very fast, only 3Gy after the "bang".
Composed of old, yellow stars.
Sure, but excuse me, a star like the sun, yellow, main sequence star, is
5 Gy or more old. All stars in that galaxy (z=2.1) can't be older than
2Gy. To keep things in order, galaxy formation is questioned, but not
the big bang theory.
As these discoveries accumulate, observations start contrdicting theory
in a flagrant way.
Can such an object be build in so little time?
Three times our galaxy mass in a smaller radius, spinning very fast.
[[Mod. note -- The sun is about 4.6 Gy old. See, e.g.
