Galaxies Don't Rotate The Way You Think | 4K

I heard that the late US Senator John McCain's mother died this October at 108. She was alive during the Spanish flu pandemic! Is that nuts or what? A remarkable family, she had an identical twin sister who lived to 99. father to 97, and mother to 87! Maybe not so nuts??? I'm only 4 years behind you and I can't keep up with everything I want to know. Plus, I grow more fascinated with science history year by year. It's a losing battle!

[@10thMorales]

[@Ddub1083]

It would look generally the same, a bit more stars but thats it. The number of stars we can see in the night sky is a INCREDIBLY small fraction of the stars around us (relatively) in the galaxy. The sphere of stars that we can see in the night sky would be a minuscule dot on essentially any rendering of our galaxy. This region is about 20 light years in radius... but our galaxy is roughly 100,000 light years in radius. So the region is relatively incredibly small. So in the inner galaxy, there would be more stars in this small region but thats about it. Although there are vastly more stars in the inner galaxy, the increase in the amount within a 20 light year sphere would be more, but not so much more that it would look different. And you also might think well these stars are going so much faster, thus the stars positions wouldbe changing as well. This too, would not happen. Yes the stars are orbiting much faster in the inner galaxy, but the reason the stars in our sky stay fixed is because all those stars we see are local (within the 20 ly radius) and thus are moving WITH US around the galaxy at generally the same speed and direction. So just as the cars in a formation lap around a racetrack dont move relative to each other because they are all going the same speed, the same is true of our sky and the stars positions in it remain constant, at least over thousands of years. This would be true of the inner galaxy too, although faster, the relative speeds are still similar and thus the apparent positions of those stars would remain seemingly fixed.

[@Sanquinity]

@@Ddub1083 One small change. The stars even in our local area are still moving relative to us. People just don't realize how long 250 million years really is. Try drawing a really big circle on a large A1 paper. Now divide it into 250 million sections. Yea, not going to happen. A single dot of a very fine pen would already be more than 1 or even 100 sections. So the stars are still moving, it just takes far longer than our lifetimes for it to be noticeable with direct observation.

@@eddiebrown192 Actually negative mass would defy the laws of conservation of energy because of the way it would interact with gravity. Negative mass would be propelled by positive mass, as it has reverse gravity, but positive mass would still be attracted to it, so the two would essentially chase eachother down at an infinitely accelerating rate, creating infinite energy, which obviously isn't possible. This is how its known for a fact that negative mass can not exist is any way. Unless the laws of thermodynamics are completely wrong.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

I still have a hard time letting go of, “Dark Matter and Dark Energy are just excuses for something more logical that we are missing or don’t quite understand yet”.

I still think they do not have a clue about what it is or even if it exists at all.

While I am, in theory, somewhat aware of how we measure the movement of stars or other light sources, it's still fascinating that we could take pictures of those galaxies for probably hundreds of years without noticing any visible changes due to the vastness of space and the relatively low speeds involved, yet we can with reasonable accuracy measure speed and direction of those objects...

[@HB-mn8lh]

System of nature is vast for us, otherwise tiny. So life form may complete its era without noticing these changes. But life form is human perspective. Everything is alive or dead. If you want to notice these changes, you can do so as a star, planet, etc.

[@ոakedsquirtle]

To all the comments that go something like, "Hot young singles near you", most stars actually form at least in a binary system, many being up to 6 actually, so all the young stars are polygamous then later become "divorced" so they aren't really single.

[@CeesaX]

That's fascinating. For the binaries, are they so close that both stars would be considered in the same solar system (like within a hundred AU of each other or so) or much more distant, so that each has its own distinct solar system?

Broaden your perspective. System of nature is vast for us, tiny otherwise. So that life form may complete its era without noticing any changes in cosmic system. But life form is human perspective. Everything is alive or say dead. If you want to notice these changes, you should be as huge as a star, planet, etc. For us, their movement is seemless, dead slow and even still. But this is not important. In ancient era, our philosophers & priests were true that the system of nature is Infinite (limitless) and Eternal (timeless). Anything you see or feel is the perceptive of biological life. You can't go beyond this perspective because you are locked into life and death is the key. Things beyond human perspective might be different. The name Universe limits your infinite (limitless) and eternal (timeless) perspective or the actual perspective. Time doesn't exist in the Infinity (of nothingness), as infinity is eternal (always there). Infinity is a logical fact, because something has to be there everlastingly, after everything else, even it is nothingness or vacuum. Mass resides inside vacuum. Mass needs vacuum to reside inside it or exist, but vacuum doesn't need mass for its existence. Vacuum or nothingness is the actual realm and constitutes infinity. The virtual mass is actually the displaced vacuum, which is like an adhesive bond that forms systems. This is how mass & vacuum are interrelated at the smallest virtual particle level. This relationship forms vacuum-mass bonded systems in this infinite and internal system of nature. Vacuum or nothingness is the actual realm and constitutes infinity. Things beyond human perspective might be different. The Creator or Deity may be something other than mass-vacuum infinity or something beyond mass-vacuum infinity. There is no scientific proof of this concept, but the Infinity is a logical fact, as there has to be something beyond everything else everlastingly, even it is vacuum or nothingness. If you want to travel into the infinity (of nothingness) to resolve it, before you start journey, you can imagine that this everlasting infinity is already laid out somehow out there everlastingly, which is a mind blowing logical fact, as there has to be something beyond everything else everlastingly, even it is vacuum or nothingness. In our infinite and enteral perspective, all intermediate entities are the various phases of mass-vacuum relationship, for instance rock, planet, star, universe, multiverse and so on in the system of nature...

Recently Voyager 2 has discovered that the interstelar medium may be far more dense than previously thought. Dense with electrons they think. this could just be a denser region just outside the sun (and probably other stars). However if the interstelar medium really is up to 10 times denser than previously thought, couldn't this go some way to explaining dark matter theories? This is a brand new discovery so I ask this question retorically. (what's more if this extra matter is only electrons, couldn't static charge have a role in internal galaxy movement as well?)

The gasses are invisible in our visual colour range and the stars of the galaxy are many light years apart from each other.

[@Andreschannel_SA]

If I understand your question correctly. Just my opinion based on what I understand - Gravity. It's is not really spinning, it is more orbiting. Spinning is when an object rotates around its own axis. Orbiting is when one (usually smaller) object moves in an orbit around another (larger) body. Basically they orbit around each other. This is due to the gravitational forces between them which is generally initiated by moving towards each other, but not in a straight line. This orbital motion is what keeps celestial bodies from just plain crashing into each other, which also happens quite often, hence the craters on our moon, for instance. If the gravitational force between bodies are too weak, they might just pass each other. There are basically the three main events which could take place with celestial bodies in relatively close proximity of each other: 1. Just plain crash into each other. 2. Orbit each other. 3. Pass each other. I hope this helps and that your question was not merely rhetorical.

[@JungleJargon]

Another solution solves the time light problem *and* the dark matter/dark energy problem. I will try to condense it. When you see a galaxy, you are looking at differing rates of time and differing measures of distance. No dark matter is needed because time speeds up on the outer edges of the galaxy. No need for dark energy because distance expands where there is no matter. What delays light *as we see it* is the gravity in the vicinity that slows down the *rate* of time. (It’s not that light slows down, it’s the rate of time that slows down.) So what happens where there is no gravity is that the rate of time speeds up compared to our rate of time so that starlight travels the same (or greater) distance at a faster rate of time. It’s still traveling the *same relativistic frame speed* but an entire second passes by from our perspective in a fraction of a second *where there is no gravity* to slow down time. So for most of the distance, starlight is traveling through space at a faster rate of time compared to our slower rate of time inside the galaxy. That means starlight arrives much more instantaneously because the rate of time is free from the effects of gravity for most of the way. With no mass of its own, starlight arrives instantaneously as it experiences no time of its own traveling at the speed of light. We only see things in slow motion *where time is slowed down* by gravity. This relativistic effect allows for a young earth since billions of years pass by in outer space while simultaneously only thousands of years pass where we are inside of the galaxy. Starlight arrives instantaneously through the *void* of space where there is no matter to slow down *time.*
