\n<\/strong>The study that gmagee refers to above finds that most elliptical galaxies have rotational properties similar to spiral galaxies. \u00a0It, in effect, acknowledges what subquantum kinetics had previously been claiming for many years. \u00a0Namely, SQK has proposed that dwarf ellipticals, grow into lenticular elipticals and then with further growth transform into spirals, this sequential evolution being due to matter being continuously created in their cores and subsequently ejected along their plane of rotation. \u00a0This galaxy evolution scenario is consistent with the findings of this study. \u00a0No galaxy mergers can be involved in such a morphological transformation. \u00a0If mergers had been involved, the collisions would have turned the earlier galaxy into an irregular galaxy, thus breaking the sequential evolution of its morphology. \u00a0So this close connection between ellipticals and spirals confirms that this does not happen. \u00a0This leaves core matter creation and ejection as the only feasible alternative.<\/p>\n
