It's almost half past two in the morning. My eyes are wet.

Astronomical bodies are all formed via gravitational collapse. Gravity exerts an equal force in all directions, which is why every last star and planet is spherical, or close to. In fact, if you took a planet and squashed it in a giant vice it would, over the course of a few million years, spring back to it's original shape.

So how is it that so many galaxies are disc shaped? The stars are bound to each other by gravity and the whole lot is bound together by a supermassive black hole in the centre, so the mechanics behind it's formation are - as far as I can tell - no different that the ones behind a cloud of hydrogen collapsing to form a star. I really don't understand why the whole thing doesn't form in to a ball.

I get that you're drunk and don't give a fuck but don't expect any insight or meaningful and non judgmental conversation on channel 4. Actually be less drunk before you ask for real help. Drunk problem solving is fun but rarely does shit
