    I knew a guy who could not only blow smoke rings, but he could nest them as they floated away from him. I once saw him nest 5 smoke rings at once, and they all lasted about 35 seconds as they drifted across the room. (Blew my mind, as well.)
    I'll bet these ring galaxies have a similar origin, except without the guy blowing smoke rings.

    Maybe faster spinning black holes (quasars) cause the spiral arms to form in a rung structure by quickly pushing it to the out skirts but with stronger gravity from thr middel trying to pull it back in. Thus making a giant ring around it.

    My most confident guess is that these galaxies form analogous to a toroidal/donut planet, with the ring acting as synestia and behaves fluidly as it spins. It would also make sense that it would be more likely for toroidal gravitational bodies to form at a galaxy-size scale with the stars and gases acting more as a fluid than rocky material.

Might there be a situation where a planet could develop spiral arms?

    I want to be clear, I'm only speculating. But that looks very similar to a plasma instability that I saw once. I was trying to use an electromagnet to bifurcate a stream of plasma into polarized charges and what I got was essentially that structure. One charge in the middle, and the pairing charge on the outside. On a galactic scale though... That would take a really big magnetic field...

    Wouldn't it be from a quasar? A powerful quasar would have strong winds that blow the gas out from the center, shutting down star formation. So it would leave old stars at the center and when the quasar shuts down, the gas it blew away may pile up around the galaxy making the ring.
    It can do this because no other galaxies are near by to draw away the gas and dust that was losted from the active quasar.

    • @ontoverse
      @ontoverse Месяц назад +1

      There's nothing to cool the gas down, however, so unless it was ejected below escape velocity, it will never return. There would rather have to be something there already for the gas to pile up against. That being said, the cosmic web is a pretty good candidate for that, especially if the "fluid dark matter" ideas prove to be correct.

    Makes sense that what we think of as nothing~actually is something...> just the notion of 'floating' thru space- says it all..
    And like vortex's in a medium~ (water as a visible example) we see them dance,,repel,,join as a larger one,,and see stuff below surface in tub of water swirl around>expanding like a tornado throwing stuff out>but in the 'liquid model' the 'stuff' circles around...- similar to galaxy...
    And possibly the little shallow eddy vortex wells within, formed the planets/pearls~rolling the star stuff' around..
    Certainly would be good early grade school fodder for kids..
    Obviously more to it than that..
    like shown they did the same with acoustic waves--all energy is waves->thats the medium..
    energy wave type flows interaction on the other hand open all the other doors..
    Language can put whatever words on the 'vortexional force',,,we've used word 'gravity' for afew hundred years(not very descriptive)..
    The ancients also knew about this> the 2 pyramids(one upside down above other) with tips touching__like a worm hole...
    I wonder what they called it in ages before the younger-dryas...The ancients knew about the magnetosphere..
    & the (new to us) electric universe theory=dynamo.
    When u combine all that with vortexional dynamics~and according to the atomic clock we dont see entropy__we only see conversion...> so the big-bang is bullshit..
    Between the black hole in a jar,, and star in a jar,, (david Lapoint did at cern)we can prove it all on a table--,,, the only thing we can't prove= is a begining or an end__just conversion..
    They say they have no clue...
    But the 'vortexional dynamics in a medium' does,,= we see vortex eddy's in rivers become eliptical because of of flow,,,__ and we see vortex rings start to spiral in dissipation in calm mediums..and disturbed similarly if another big screw passes thru >as he shows...
    just ads creedence to the medium idea,,,and obvious flow...
    And theyre double sided(ecretion disks with central jets top&bottom)as measured and usually depicted

    For the Hoag's Object, the ring and the center rotating at about the same speed you might have some argument for dark matter. If not, the same rotational speed of connected rings/arms might be the connection unifies the rotational speed, and a gravitation model that says that is not happening, it probably is lacking a characteristic of the background gravitation of the whole object.

    The physics simulation in my head factors-in centripetal perturbation. A rotating body, such as a gyroscope or galaxy, will remain stable if motion is parallel or perpendicular to the axis. However, if any twist is introduced then there are shear forces. In something like a galactic body which would be much more of a fluid than solid, that shear would cause twisting of the flow and you would have a spiral galaxy.
    The same spiral effect is seen in weather systems since they rotate upon the surface of a rotating sphere. My point is, flat-Earth would have ring hurricanes.

    Xrays shred electrons off matter , are mainly destructive within a specific distance from the emitting source , rings reasons could vary tho ,just a thought 😊 if no black holes present or binary then maybe a sympathetic reaction to a non local star to call it involuntary. In our own galactic core a odd reverberance goes on ,how much our star sympathetically picks up these subtle motions and reacts is rather unknown I suspect.

But if the black hole is rotating at lower speeds, it allows the matter to be spread evenly across the galaxy... just a though

    it is surprising that no one has made explanations out of "black holes" or "Dark matter". Let me try : Ripples in the galaxies materials appear when at least two black holes, located at the center of these galaxies, collide. Collisions also affect the distribution of dark matter, basically slowing down the total momentum of the galaxy. This momentum loss has a direct consequence on the shape of these galaxies.

      I've just thought about SMB as a potential answer, especially where it's often said that they could produce strong winds... Maybe something similar caused materials to be pushed outward from the center?

    I expect that spiral galaxies have two to three smbhs....driving the spiral arm formation and active bh clusters and swarms. A barred spiral with two smbhs at each bar end. It could be that ringed galaxies have a more stable smbh core and in transition to spherical...elliptical... And yes I know we are told the milky way is a barred spiral, and we are told we only have sag a as a center. I believe we have not found the other smbhs and have not mapped it out right. Considering I expected smbhs as seeds in most galaxies 30 years ago, and the universe expansion different in different directions as proved by jwt.... by my expectations 18 years back.....we have more to learn.

    I'll have to look it up, but I wonder if dark matter has been used to explain how some ring galaxies form, particularly when collision seems unlikely. Perhaps dark matter celestial objects (dark matter galaxies?) exerting influences and we are only able to detect the electromagnetically detectable half of the story.

    I have an idea that doesn't seem to be mentioned:
    What about two galaxies with larger central black hols have a collision that initially results in a large spiral galaxy, but because of the collision being especially oblique, the central black holes don't collide immediately, but then when they finally do collide, they throw out enough particles and energy that it pushes the gas and stars outward from the central region, forming a ring. The perturbation of the gasses and dust from the central region entering the outer regions starts more stellar formation, making young stars.
    Sound logical?

    • @ontoverse
      @ontoverse Месяц назад +3

      That burst would have to be truly enormous and sustained for a long time to clear out that much gas. And there would be some mechanism from stopping the anti-radial movement blowing out the ring as well-- there's no medium in space to slow it down after all. We should definitely see galaxies doing that -- some kind of diffuse quasar-like objects with extremely hot polar outflows. Maybe there are such objects, though -- I don't think anyone has looked for specifically that.

    I have to confess that I am puzzled by the consternation caused by the range of morphology in galaxies. There are now estimated to be trillions of galaxies in the observable universe and there are myriad forces and all sorts of interactions affecting them since the beginning of the universe that will have given rise to so many shapes, and almost certainly no two in the observable universe will be the same…. So why all the kerfuffle?

    ya know, those ring galaxies like Hoag's remind me an awful lot of the nebula we've seen after a star goes nova, like 1987. Only instead of producing a ring of pearls, this detonation produced a ring of stars. Only there's no way anything that massive could have existed. Right?

    Don't write off collisions as the cause just yet. Although these galaxies appear isolated, almost all probably had dwarf galaxies orbiting them. The right sized dwarf (or dwarfs) diving through the galactic disk and sweeping along gas and dust could conceivably create a ringed galaxy.
    It could be a series of collisions of a specific size and or a specific order, dependent on position.

    Perhaps they are rings because anything that is closer falls inside black hole because it is way too big and has extreme gravitational pull? Because maybe the gas in the ring already spins near relativistic speeds and cant spin faster to orbit closer to black hole? Just a thought.
