I'm not sure where you got this notion unless from an extremely old textbook. Here is a fun little history lesson about galaxy morphologies: those "fuzzy" galaxies, spheroids, are called "ETGs" in the field to this day. Spiral-looking galaxies are called "LTGs."

"ETG" stands for "early-type galaxy" and "LTG" stands for "late-type galaxy." Hubble originally thought, as you proposed here, that the fuzzy spheroid galaxies condensed and began to rotate to form spirals (hence "early" and then "late" types)

Hi. I encountered the paradigm of the Standard theory’s BB before the discovery of black holes, Hawking’s radiation, and black holes morphology and behavior. At some point after the baryon formation the theory asserts that neutrinos and later photons escaped ( I guess outside in some type of event horizon). So, if we draw a sphere around the observable Universe. Most of the structures are in a plane… (jet plane?). What are your thoughts? If I was an observer outside the BB and photons cannot escape from the singularity, then it would be dark.

Is this directed to me?
If so pls send a phrase book! This is dark forest to me.
I am presently working on galaxies/solar physics.
That is why I posted the 'almost' link

Pls Google it.
My point is that we are supposed to throw away the theory of galaxy formation just because it is not possible for this galaxy to exist given that the BB only happened a short time before this galaxy existed.
Why don't they say there is so much evidence for galaxy formation surely we should say the BB did not happen 13.8 .... cos it disagrees with what we know about galaxies?
Early days but the James Webb deep field shows no evolution of galaxies and it should have.

Hi. I am trying to catch up. I am trying to reconcile my views on the BB, the surface of last scattering, the formation of new galaxies, inflationary and morphological changes with the new data. My question was mostly about the surface of last scattering, but I could ask you about the differences in matter densities at the edges of galaxies… there had been some measurements.
