Four arms?
Are they absolutely SURE two of them aren't legs?

That’s why we sometimes feel out of place. We’re 2 arm creatures in a 4 arm galaxy.

Launch a probe to go out of the galaxy far enough to take a look back. We should have the data back in 20-30,000 generations!

Like a 4 blade Ceiling fan, if one breaks, you just remove the opposite one and you have a 2 blade fan..............It’ll turn faster, too!..........

We should rename the Milky Way “Eric”. Eric the half a galaxy.

Speaking of “turning faster”, the core turns faster than the arms, causing a “winding up” effect.
If the galaxy is as old as claimed,
why are the “arms” still there?

Does that mean the Milky Way is just a galactic swastika?

The gravitational pull bends the fabric of space-time less and less the farther you get from the center, so they outer parts are relatively slower being pulled in?...........
