Galaxy Formation
I'm wondering if the reason that the outside of the galaxy rotates at the same speed as the inside isn't because the galaxy is a young galaxy. The reason it is believed that the inside should rotate faster than the outside is because the inner planets of a solar system orbit at a faster speed than the outer planets. They have to because if they didn't the greater gravity near the sun would cause them to fall closer to the sun. Would they fall into the sun or reach some asymptotic orbit? That's for another paper however it makes sense that the inside should rotate faster than the outside. Like I said if they do not they will fall toward the sun.
Since we are now comparing the Milky Way and other galaxies with the solar system then lets ask ourselves if this is a fair analogy. It does seem fair because in fact there has been found a solar system that actually looks like a galaxy. This solar system is thought to be in the early stages of solar system formation. I would venture to guess it's in it's earliest stage. I would posit that there are three stages of solar system/galaxy formation:
I guess a good test would be to determine whether the inside of pictured solar system rotates at the same speed as the outside. I guess this is also evidence for a young rather than steady state universe. Unless perhaps there are galaxies out there that are in the ring and orbital phases. They could be so dark we can't see them. Just because they are dark to us doesn't mean they are dead. It's possible that the real universe is comprised of the dark matter we can't see.

- Spiral
- Galaxies commonly look like this
- Elliptical
- Older galaxies look like this and I would guess early solar systems
- Ring (Lenticular)
- There has been found a solar system which looks like this however
- I don't think the universe is old enough to have galaxies like this. Or maybe they are so old they have gone dark. I would think that the aging process for Galaxies would be much longer since they are so much larger.
- Orbital:
- This is the current stage of most star systems we currently observe.
