Is the Spiral Galaxy a Cosmic Hurricane?
Zexin Cao, Ling Liu, Tingting Zheng

TL;DR
This paper proposes that the formation and structure of spiral galaxies are driven by cosmic background rotation, with numerical simulations showing spiral and warped structures similar to observed galaxies.
Contribution
It introduces a simple double particle model incorporating Coriolis force to explain spiral galaxy formation due to cosmic rotation, challenging traditional density wave theory.
Findings
Spiral trajectories emerge from the model due to background rotation.
The relationship between velocity and radius indicates spiral arm formation.
Simulations produce warped galaxy structures with overturning movements.
Abstract
It is discussed that the formation of the spiral galaxies is driven by the cosmic background rotation, not a result of an isolated evolution proposed by the density wave theory. To analyze the motions of the galaxies, a simple double particle galaxy model is considered and the Coriolis force formed by the rotational background is introduced. The numerical analysis shows that not only the trajectory of the particle is the spiral shape, but also the relationship between the velocity and the radius reveals both the existence of spiral arm and the change of the arm number. In addition, the results of the three-dimensional simulation also give the warped structure of the spiral galaxies, and shows that the disc surface of the warped galaxy, like a spinning coins on the table, exists a whole overturning movement. Through the analysis, it can be concluded that the background environment of the…
