Structure of galaxy and the laws behind it

AI Thread Summary
Galaxies are structured primarily through gravitational forces and Newton's laws, although the exact formation processes remain unclear. A deeper understanding of galaxy formation requires advanced knowledge in physics, typically acquired through several years of specialized study. The discussion highlights the complexity of the topic and suggests that further research is necessary for a comprehensive grasp. Additionally, participants encourage a more casual tone in communication. Overall, the structure and formation of galaxies involve intricate scientific principles that are still being explored.

dear sir,
i want to know the structure of the galaxies. the process that caused it happen.and finally some peculiar and intersting 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.
 

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.

Thread 'Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1% risk of a multi-megaton impact in 2032 (now ruled out)'

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
