Speed Found to be Key to Galaxy Formation
QuantumCrypto writes "The All-wavelength Extended Groth strip International Survey (AEGIS), a collaborative effort involving nearly 100 scientists in half a dozen countries, revealed a new principle in the formation of all galaxies, from disk-like spirals, cloud-like ellipticals, and just irregulars. In essence the morphology of the galaxies depends on total mass involved and the internal speed it generates. 'By defining a new speed indicator, their analysis has managed to make sense out of very chaotic-looking objects,' said Sandra Faber, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz."

And they said drugs are bad!

Yeah, well, it all results in the eventual heat death of the universe, so what's the point really?
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
This side effect of speed has been known for ages! What rock have these 100 scientists been hiding under?
Hell, first time I did speed, I formed at least 5 new galaxies! Then, I scrubbed them so hard with the galactic sponge that they disappeared completely. Those quasars can be a real pain to get out of your multi-dimensional trousers, though. They always leave behind a bit of redshift.
