SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theoretical implications of hyperdense mass in the universe and its gravitational effects on galaxies. The user speculates about the existence of an extremely dense mass that could exert a gravitational pull, albeit minuscule, on galaxies over vast distances. The conversation touches on concepts such as the Big Bang and inflation theory, suggesting that these theories may provide context for understanding the gravitational dynamics at play. A recommended resource for further exploration is the course "The Dark Side of the Universe" by the Teaching Company.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitational theory and its implications in astrophysics
  • Familiarity with the Big Bang theory and inflation theory
  • Basic knowledge of cosmic structures and their formation
  • Interest in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Big Bang theory and its implications for cosmic evolution
  • Study inflation theory and its role in the early universe
  • Investigate gravitational effects of supermassive black holes on galaxy formation
  • Enroll in "The Dark Side of the Universe" course by the Teaching Company
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy enthusiasts, students of astrophysics, and anyone interested in the gravitational dynamics of galaxies and cosmic structures.

Let me preface this by saying that I have very little knowledge (basically zero) about astrophysics, just like to learn, have been reading some Hawking and have a question.
I was reading about formation of universes and stars imploding, exploding etc.. the miracle of life in star form. I was thinking that theoretically somewhere out in infinity there should be some mass that is LITERALLY the most dense, heaviest, however it is you astrophysicists have tagged planets as fat. Would this hyperdense space then have a gravitational pull, however slight, on all galaxies? I mean I'm talking at such insane distances that it's pull would be nanofractions of nanofractions. Like so slight that over billions of years galaxies that are thousands of light years away have moved towards it a billionth of an inch. Would galaxies "close" to such a mass accelerate towards it quickly? Would such a fiery mess absorb entire planets... galaxies? Over the course of infinite time would this mass accelerate very distant galaxies to it at exponential speeds? Would this lend credence to a higher power at the center of all creation?

Your question is not clear my friend,you want to talk about the Big Bang? Or inflation theory?
there is a good cours by the Teaching Company (The Dark Side of the Universe) check it out
