The Formation of Galaxies – When the Universe Learned to Dance
This episode delves into how the first galaxies emerged from the chaotic fog of the early universe. Starting with tiny irregularities in the Cosmic Microwave Background caused by quantum fluctuations, we trace the role of gravity in pulling matter together to form the universe’s earliest structures. We explore the formation of proto-galaxies, the cosmic dance of collisions and mergers that shaped modern spirals and ellipticals, and how dark matter served as the invisible skeleton holding it all together. The episode highlights the diversity of galaxies, including our own Milky Way, and ends with a reflection on how observing galaxies is like peering back in time — revealing the ever-evolving architecture of the cosmos.
