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."

that's why the cheat to build constructions fast was called aegis?

I believe it also built units fast.

Speed found........

I've heard of drugs doing interesting things, but this is ridiculous!

Yay for Amphetamines! Except the comedown (or 'Big Crunch') is pretty horrid...
