Black Holes May Form Galaxies


One of the most heavily debated questions in astrology these days is, which comes first; black holes that eat matter, or the galaxies around them? To this point, most theories stated that the galaxies were first. However, a team of scientists has been looking at the only black hole currently known to man that does not have a galaxy surrounding it. Studying it, they see that the areas neighboring it are developing stars at an incredible rate. This has sparked the theory that maybe black holes draw matter to them, thus helping in the formation of galaxies. Exacly how galaxies form is a point of serious controversy, and this solution to that problem is new and unique. Further research to support this must be done, but it is a very interesting thing to think about.
