An instantaneously balanced angular momentum system
The whirlpool galaxy, M51, is 13 million light years distant and about a 100

maintained, then the balancing influence that keeps this galaxy together would
take 100 thousand years to reach from the edge to edge. Some stars in the galaxy
could have ended their lives in the meantime!
