What's in the Galactic Center? Perhaps if we knew the nature of the center we'd also know why the galaxy is spiral.

If you want a serious answer, the center of the galaxy is a giant black hole; its massive gravitational pull helps hold the galaxy together. But I'm not sure if it's nougat flavored.

Gravity gets swapped

in Alfvén's model.

Galactic centers

singularities.
