Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of "galactic frequencies" and the angular accelerations of galaxies. Participants explore the meaning and implications of these terms, seeking clarification and understanding of the underlying concepts.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the frequencies of individual galaxies, prompting a request for clarification from others.
  • Another participant questions the term "galactic frequency," indicating confusion about its meaning.
  • A suggestion is made that revolutions might be related to the concept of frequency.
  • One participant asserts that every existing individual galaxy occurs exactly once, though the relevance to the original question is unclear.
  • A later post shifts the focus to angular accelerations, indicating a preference for this concept over frequencies.
  • Another participant expresses uncertainty about the concept of angular acceleration in relation to galaxies, suggesting a lack of established understanding.
  • The thread concludes with a moderator indicating that the discussion may not be suitable for the forum, particularly if it pertains to personal theories.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the meaning of "galactic frequency" or the concept of angular acceleration, with multiple competing views and significant confusion expressed throughout the discussion.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the definitions and assumptions surrounding "galactic frequency" and "angular acceleration," which remain unresolved in the discussion.

I was wondering if there is any info on the frequencies of individual galaxies?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
What's a "galactic frequency, eh?"

- Warren
 
Revolutions perhaps?
 
There is info, yes.

Every existing individual galaxy occurs exactly once.
 
ah, what about angular accelerations of galaxies?
 
...blinks audibly...

In case you weren't getting it, no one understands your first question.

What "frequencies of galaxies" would you like to know about? Can you clarify?
 
You can ignore my first question. I think I would need angular accelerations rather than frequencies.
 
No one know what the "angular acceleration" of a galaxy is either.

If you're working on some kind of personal theory, don't do it here. I'm closing this thread.
