Doesn’t it have to spiral? Think of the gravity well, anything not orbiting is just falling. The only things not racing towards the black hole at the center of the galaxy are the ones that are orbiting.

- eightysixfour 2y agoRight, I guess what I am saying is if it didn't spiral, it wouldn't be a galaxy for "long." It would just be a super massive black hole.
- lolc 2y agoThe trick to having a galaxy is for mass to fall towards the black hole and miss it all the time.
