Simple Newtonian gravitation is sufficient to explain the entire behavior of Galaxy Spiral Arms. The well-known Keplerian effect certainly dominates, but a Spiral Arm also has internal mutual gravitation, which has surprisingly strong effects!
The stability of galaxy spiral arms has long troubled the Astrophysics community. It has been assumed that [...]
