Unraveling the Mysteries of Gravitational Collapse and Accretion in the Hubble Filament
Gravitational collapse and accretion can be a powerful force in the universe, but scientists have recently discovered a new mechanism that could be even more powerful. Researchers at the Hub-Filament Institute have discovered a phenomenon in which a powerful gravitational collapse is triggered by a hub-filament structure: a series of connected filaments stretching from a central hub. This gravitational collapse is so strong that it can create new stars and galaxies, and even cause existing galaxies to be disrupted. The new discovery could open up a new way of understanding the formation of the universe.
