Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the structure of galaxies, the processes that lead to their formation, and interesting characteristics associated with them. The scope includes conceptual understanding and potentially some technical aspects related to astrophysics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to understand the structure of galaxies and the processes behind their formation, indicating a curiosity about peculiar aspects of galaxies.
  • Another participant suggests that the topic is broad and requests more specific information to guide the discussion.
  • A participant mentions their limited knowledge of physics, indicating they have an intermediate level of understanding and have studied mathematics at a higher level.
  • It is noted that answering the original question may be challenging due to the complexity of the topic, which typically requires advanced study in physics.
  • A brief mention is made that galaxies form under the influence of gravitational laws and Newton's laws, but the exact details remain unknown.
  • A suggestion is made to avoid formalities in addressing participants, promoting a friendly atmosphere.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the complexity of the topic and the need for a more detailed inquiry, but there is no consensus on specific aspects of galaxy formation or structure.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in the original question due to the participant's self-identified knowledge level and the complexity of the subject matter, which may not be fully accessible without advanced study.

dear sir,
i want to know the structure of the galaxies. the process that caused it happen.and finally some peculiar and interesting about galaxy.
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
(Sounds like homework to me.)

Those are great things to want to know - but it's a pretty big topic, so we will need more from you to guide replies.
What have you found out so far?
 
dear sir,
i have limited knolwedge of physics. i can say i know physics as much have physics student of intermediate level. i took math as a subject of study for graduation.
 
It will be tricky to answer your question then, since what you are after involved post-graduate college physics.
That's about 4-5years of specialist study to make up?

The short answer is that galaxies form from the law of gravitation in combination with Newton's laws... but nobody knows the exact details. Please see:

BTW: you don't have to put "dear sir" at the start of everything - we are all friends here.
