Why Are There Galaxies?

Hi Painius Just had this interesting thought. the stars that make up
the hub and have a 2.6 million solar mass blackhole at their center must
be revolving around it very fast. How fast is very fast? Lots of stars
must be falling through the event horizon every day. Stars of great mass
could be colliding(gut feeling thats true) To much stuff and angular
motion in a small area can cause choas. Bert

I don't think anyone really knows how fast, Bert. I *do*
know that most people have some idea that stars are
"thick as thieves" at the galaxy hub, but once you get
there, it's like the asteroid belt. The stars are far
enough apart to mean that collisions are very few and
far between.

I could be wrong, but i don't think the black hole grows
very fast.

Here's a neat article...

....raises LOTS of questions, doesn't it.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Your heart up hanging on the wall
Just dripping tears so painfully,
You ne'er felt love so true as mine,
I want your heart inside me.

Protected from all manner, form
And shape of harm it will e'er be,
If you say no, I fade and die,
I need your heart inside me.
