Galaxy Project VI: Singularities and Anti-Entropy

When addressing the issue of the organization of galaxies as unified systems we quickly reach the limits of our basic understanding of physical science. A range of anomalous activity points to new domains of physics–new universal physical principles–currently outside our grasp. Central in all this is a mysterious singularity point in Einstein’s general relativity–the supermassive black hole.

Some background material is available in the article, “Singularities and Supermassive Black Holes”, (part of the 2015 report, “Towards a Galactic Science Driver”.
