Abstract: This chapter offers a hypothesis that Spiral and
Barred Galactic Formation may occur under a single hypermass
concept due to gravitational contraction and not require a
binary closure or directly as gradual mass accretion as was
previously offered as a hypothesis as stated in earlier
Joseph_Sixpack hypotheses... sigh...
The Year is 1939...
And Joseph_Sixpack is 2.5 years old. And a young pair of
physicists/mathematicians by the name of J. R. Oppenheimer
and H. Snyder at the University of California, Berkeley,
California publish a paper in Volume 56, September edition
of the Physical Review.
The paper is entitled,
"On Continued Gravitational Contraction".
Germany is bumping and grinding in Europe and Japan has a
hair up its ass and is grumping about resources. Italy is
fence sitting and China and Russia are our dear friends.
America is just starting to come out from its "Great
Depression" by going to massive WPA programs. The
government is under heavy socialist influence.
The newest style 1939 V-8 Ford 2-door Coupe was a hot topic
with kids and Ford is pissed at the Unions.
While all the above is going on, the 1939 paper, in its
abstract, starts out by saying:
"When all thermonuclear sources of energy are exhausted a
sufficiently heavy star will collapse. Unless fission
due to rotation, the radiation of mass, or the blowing off
of mass by radiation, reduce the star's mass to the order of
that of the sun, this contraction will continue
indefinitely..."
The paper goes on to produce an abundance of
incomprehensible chicken scratching to a joseph_sixpack, but
the idea was planted. Is it possible for a galaxy to form
in a similar way?
So let's consider: We have a supermassive black hole that
contains enough mass to create a spiral galaxy and which is
rotating at some rate due to the accretion of matter that
had been earlier surrounding it.
For some reason it decides to collapse due to some approach
in solar mass value or the exhaustion of internal fuels to
support its internal fusions process.
Voila! The contraction of mass commences! Inwards,
everything goes! the supermass starts to speed up in
revolutions in compliance to the concepts of angular
momentum conservation theories.
Now, offsetting the contraction (collapse) is an ever
increasing amount of centrifugal force countering the
collapse of the mass at the equatorial regions.
The supermass due to the centrifugal forces may start to
split up after taking on a somewhat weak donut shape and
creating a presumably temporary zero gravity hole dead
center.
As if shot from guns, out go massive amounts of radiation
and plasma particles, from the newly created zero gravity
port, creating a jet of radiation and plasma that you
definitely don't want to stand in front of.
The light stuff gets slung out from the periphery first,
being subject to the most centrifugal forces. Its X-Y
vectors are the strongest with the chunks of matter with
ever lessening X-Y vectors being issued as the hypersphere
spins up under its collapse and continues its redistribution
of mass.
The progressive collapse from the polar centers of the black
hole containing the least centrifugal force, flatten down
with the mass offset from the polar centers being subject to
an ever increasing centrifugal forces.
the entire hypersphere flattens like a pancake between the
gravitational forces of collapse and the resulting
centrifugal distributions of mass.
Is the "Big Bang" a distribution of the same ilk?
It would seem not as the big bang mass would have self
distributed itself under the same earlier mass conditions
and never would have gotten to the required mass status the
big bang distribution would imply.
However if the earlier distribution theories are not within
the bounds of reality, then at what point, if any, would
this phenomenon of gravitational contraction occur again, if
ever? Is it a continuous threshold event? Or does it
require mass of the 'big bang' proportions?
Glow worm
Assuming a gravitational contraction on just a galactic
scale, where would the distribution of visible and invisible
radiation occur or be at it maximum during redistribution?
Re-Accretion?
Okay, now that we have three conflicting, or slightly
conflicting, theories of spiral galaxy formation:
1.) The first is the binary black hole whiz-bye bang
sling mass all over the place distribution with ever
lessening x-y distribution vectors.
2.) The second is the single black hole sitting in the
center being still and slurping all the mass all up
gravitationally until it reaches some point idea.
3.) The third is the Gravitational contraction concept
swiped from a 1939 paper by some then young kids
named Oppenheimer and Snyder.
okay... now... that we have our spiral galaxy in place and
distributed all over the place, can we argue that now, once
the dust has settled, that an initially slow process of re-
accretion would start to occur and the distributed mass
slowly start to re-sphericalize itself?
To answer that question i suspect that we would or could
have to look at as many pictures of galaxies that are
available from our telescopes and detectors of all types to
see what shapes are available to get some sort of handle to
see just what is going on under different mass and different
time conditions.
This implies another look at red-shifting to see if current
expansion is 'really' going on... i mean, if the stars
within a galaxy are accelerating in their expansion from one
another, the galaxy sure as heck isn't going to re-accret
any time soon. If the galaxies are accelerating in their
rate of expansion from one another, the big bang isn't going
to re-accret anytime soon either if the expansion is a fact.
So. what now? Well, that leaves us with three fates with
regard to termination.
One, is to just hit a smaller black hole within our own
galaxy of which i suspect there are many.
Two, to be reabsorbed into the center of our own galaxy if
the whole galaxy is drawing mass into its center positioned
black hole.
Three, to get picked off by the Norma cluster by being
within our galaxy as it and 48 others are drawn
gravitationally towards it.
This does not exhaust all the possible scenarios for doomsday
by a long shot but it is enough to make one look askance at
the night sky and suspiciously look for groups of mysteriously
moving stars...
In sum, it appears that we have to look back in time to make
our guesses and toss a coin to see which reality the heavenly
dispensates says are going to be the rules.
Reality appears to be created by vote sometimes...
