Re: it's in there somewhere....

the invisible man is at the center
of a galaxie doing the hammer throw
with a billion stars.
you know the track and field event...?
a person spins around with a heavy steel
weight on a cable and tosses it.
that person doesn't spin in nice neat
concentric circles, that person wobbles
eccentrically about some central locus.
only there's no invisible man there,
but only a center of gravity about
which billions of massive stars rotate,
and the force of gravity is extremely
immense in this region and even the
center of gravity itself seems to
wobble about a central location.
there's nothing there at all
in the way of a massive object.
just an extremely centrallized force field.
and as the galaxie itself decays,
objects are ripped into this
central region and torn apart.
see, that makes sense to me.
doesn't make sense that a single massive
star would find itself at the exact center
of a galaxie and go thru the life and death
of a star and implode on itself and then
neatly start pulling other stars into itself.
seems to me, that any star that found itself
in the central region of a galaxie would be
torn to shreds by all the gravitational
interactions of the nearest billion or
so stars and never have a chance to suffer
thru a normal stellar life cycle.
but the galaxie itself may have a bit of
reverberating spring quality where the
stars in the outermost region are tending
towards flying off tangentially from the
'edge' and the innermost stars being yanked
in towards the center of gravity.
and so, like, as the outer stars spread out
on the spiral arms or whathaveyou, their pull
on the centrallized stars weakens and the
centrallized stars begin to fall in towards
the center more rapidly where they are
simply shredded in the gravitational vortex.
only an apparent mass exists
in this centrallized region.
no singularity at all.
and definitely no new universes
sprouting up within the vortex
of anihilation.
that's a pretty story.
imagine what it would be like if there
were 1500 moons orbitting the earth
in a near uniform orbit.
ignore the sun and the
other planets for a moment.
the earth would be ripped to shreds
and the debris would scatter out
into regions near the moons.
and then you'd have this centrallized
region about which 1500 moons and a
lot of other junk floated.
or imagine if 600,000 Jupiters
orbitted around the sun.
well, if there ever was some
central star in a given galaxie,
how long would it survive the
pull in the vortex of anihilation?
i have my doubts about a giant central star
that pulls the rest of the stars in on itself.
vortex of anihilation.
