I believe that galaxies are far-from-equilibrium systems capable of self-organisation and seeding offspring galaxies. Here are my reasons:(1) Galaxies have unique patterns. Formation of unique patterns needs energy. Energy comes from cannibalising visible matter in the blackhole as galactic food. (2) The degree of tightness in spirals is proportional to the thickness of dark matter halo wrapping. If the dark halo goes thin, the spirals will loosen up and may even break off and careen into intergalactic space. When these encounter dense dust clouds, the shockwave could initiate formation of new galaxies. (3) When visible matter feedstock is completely exhausted, then a galaxy will be starless and then it is called a dark galaxy. <BR>Only 5 billion years were needed for bioevolution of Life. Surely 13.5 billion years should be sufficient to give life to galaxies!
