Expansion: Big Bang or Stretching? 8
Dwarf Galaxies. Dwarf galaxies are sometimes imbedded in a smoothly
rotating disk of hydrogen gas that is much larger than the galaxy
itself. The mass (hidden or otherwise) of each dwarf galaxy and its
surrounding gas is insufficient to pull the gas into its disk shape
(11), but if this matter was once highly concentrated and then the
space it occupied was recently stretched out, all observed
characteristics would be explained.
