Expansion: Big Bang or Stretching? 4

Central Stars. About forty stars are orbiting within a few dozen light-
hours of the black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. Those
stars could never have evolved that close to a black hole, which has
the mass of 4,000,000 suns. The black hole’s gravity would have
prevented gas from collapsing to become a star (7). However, those
stars could have formed in a much denser environment (8), before space
was stretched out during the creation week.

7.	“The black hole’s inactivity [today] suggests that the central few
light years doesn’t contain enough raw material to make stars. And the
enormous gravitational tidal forces around the black hole would seem
to prohibit stars from forming even if the material were there: it’s
hard for a cloud of gas to contract into a star under its own gravity
when something that weighs as much as four million stars is sitting
next door.” Jeff Kanipe, “A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Not So Far
Away,” Nature, Vol. 446, 5 April 2007, p. 601.

8.	“In principle, this could have occurred if the density of the gases
in the centre of the Galaxy was much higher in the past. Higher
density would allow clumps in the clouds to collapse to form stars,
even in the presence of a strong gravitational field [of a black
hole].” Ibid., p. 602.
