sup physicsfags, I need your help.

resolution to large for /sci/ -_- http://images.4chan.org/x/src/1276937231560.jpg

You mean you expect us to make up, on the spot, a theory of gravitation that allows for this to exist?

If I could do this, I'd be winning a Nobel prize, not posting on 4chan.

No, I wanted to know how it should not exist or why it breaks common laws. Sorry, my bad

mistype maybe? idk. we know that the universe is basically infinitely large so idk why it would be impossible for it to exist.

Well, it's probably either referring to what >>1218189 said, or the fact that it should collapse under its own weight. It's not very clear on the subject and does not say what galaxy it is.

okay, I was expecting something like this... thanks guys!

dont see anything on how they defy physics, could be just made up bs, or at least unexplainable without dark matter

wait... your actually satisfied by what you found on 4chan? shit. looks like we fucked up guys. :(

I think this is right, especially if you read >>1218189

>> No.1218408

In fact...even our Milky way should not exist...according to some models it should fall apart and create two similar spiral galaxies...it can be only explained through dark matter or supermassive black hole in the core of the galaxy....I think that the same applies to tho huge green galaxy.
