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. http://solar-center.stanford.edu/FAQ/Qage.html -- jt]] |
