"New findings are revealing how individual galaxies in galaxy clusters evolve over time, changing from chemically simple to complex and from spirals to smooth disks."
Yes because we all know that simple things always can become complex. I mean look at ameba look how quickly they keep sprouting eyes and bodies with arms and legs! Or how humans keep growing working 3rd and 4th arms because we do need more arms. And I'm always jealous of those people who transcend to pure energy, they never have to shower!
"When the researchers actually looked, however, they found that galaxies located in far away clusters--seen as they existed in previous epochs--showed large variations in the abundance of elements such as oxygen and magnesium, while the chemistry of galaxies in close, young clusters were much less varied."
Hmm could this be because the universe is breaking down, ie the second law of thermodynamics? Could gravity in the inlaying of a galaxy have other bodies more readily affect them with gravitational pull rather than those who are surounded by huge stars pulling at them from multiple directions? Hmmm. Well obviously not because I'm just a stupid criminal justice major I don't have Ph. D. after my name. They're smart and I'm dumb.
"This difference in chemistry proves that the clusters must actively change over time,"
Kind of like how I grow older and loose some of myself (hair, eyesight, etc.) Wow, congradulations...you've just proved that our universe is getting older. So is aging now considered evolution?
"For reasons still unclear, many galaxies have a spiral shape when they initially form. Yet over the past several billion years, many galaxies in clusters have changed from spiral to a smooth, or "lenticular," disk shape."
Again, we've seen this...right? I mean we've been alive for that long and studying it for that long, or we have some actuall proof like a starting line drawn by not not God that says...this galaxy started like this!
Also this artcile talks about chemical evolution. This never occurs. While evolution theory supposes Hydrogen and some Helium were created in the Big Bang how did the other 105 or so elements evolve? Isn't this called alchemy? Can't we change Pb to Au, that's led into gold. Don't we call that a psuedoscience...right up there with intelligent design?
Gonna steal bob's pic cause I like it.
