Woah they are not even all just flat orbiting like a disk, some go under some go over, some go an angle between?

Probably a black hole.

Acceptable alternative hypothesis

>> No.14562393

The center of the Galaxy acts like a gyro scope.

Perhaps it's less of a hole, and more like a compressed massive body made of gravity field.

Think of how massive bodies compressing/welling/warping gravity field produces light lensing and redirecting;

For such a massive example and primarily of gravity itself, it seems to make sense it would have a weird relation with light

When we get images of other spiral galaxies what do their centers look like? Is it dark, or is light lensed around it, is light richocheted around it?

the center of spiral galaxies, especially older ones, tend to be extraordinarily bright. like the brightest objects in the sky. they used to be called quasars but they’re actually “active galatic nuclei”, and based on observations AGNs are supermassive rotating black holes that succ surrounding matter so hard the friction actually causes the accreting matter to reach relativistic speeds and convert more of its mass directly into energy than anything else in the universe

they’re pretty sweet imho I wish I could be one

what is it about black holes that makes them the number one most popular popsci topic of discussion amongst the brainlet soience fangoys?
is it the comic bookish aspects of the spectacular, unrealistic and completely non disprovable conjectures which go along with the topic that make black holes so popular amongst the scientist posers and wannabes?

Those stars are NOT orbiting anything. They are all traveling in straight lines.... but those straight lines are being bent by a lot of something that has become a nothing by being all in the same location, which isn't strictly there any longer.

Damn that's so calming, too bad the loop is so short, now take that footage and simulate for 5 billion years the paths, scale it up to have a few 1000 orbs like that, keep it at the same slow motion pace, and project it on a large wall at a classy house party, no looping, it should run at that speed for like 10 hours, now that would be cool

center of mass of the galaxy, there doesn't have to be anything there, its just a center of mass. equally sized binary stars orbit around nothing too, this is the same thing, a center of mass is just that and nothing more, there doesn't need to be anything there. how does a helicopter stay aloft hovering with nothing visible to support it?
the center of the galaxy is the center of mass of a billion stars and a bunch of gas clouds and your mom, so the center of mass is epic, but there is nothing there. newton could understand this ages ago, zoomer soibois cannot learn it even today

science says the that they have no free will, no IQ. they would just trust the science like a midwit if they were told to. you might be envious and fearful of larger entities, which is an extremely common emotional feeling, but science and history have proven time and again that big IQ beats large physical size errrrry time.

>>14570276
exactly, objects orbit the common center of mass
>newton could understand this ages ago, zoomer soibois cannot learn it even today
devastating, it was basic high school physics not too long ago, these days college are confused by the concept. science is deteriorating across the years, its supposed to improve.

what is your IQ going to do to an object that kills stars without so much as a perturbation in its motion? the entire earth is less than a mote of dust by comparison.

this is what I meant by humans being the cosmic lolcow. humans mill about shoving dead matter in their ugly noisy mouths and leave their stinky shit all over the place, and have the hubris to say
>MUH IQ MAKE ME BIG MAN
you are a slave to this planet, and you are nothing without it and your cannibalizing of its creatures. stars are born by the hand of God alone and live countless eons on the energy God bestowed them, their waste alone (i.e. radiation) wields the power not only to feed and nourish the life you feed on to survive, but that same light can annihilate you on a molecular level. and we’re not talking about stars, we’re taking about a body that expunges stars like candles.

humble yourself.
