Why does EVERY SINGLE Object in the Galaxy orbits in the same orbital plane and even in the same direction?
In: Physics
The Galaxy spins how it does because as things spin they tend to flatten into a disc. Think throwing pizza dough into the air. Therefore as soon as any spin is introduced into the early galaxy it’s going to be maintained and amplified due to the lack of friction.
So on the major scale yes everything looks the same. However they aren’t. There is all kinds of variation in orbits it’s just hard to tell at that scale.
Umm…not everything orbits in prograde direction.

Even in our solar system, not everything orbits in prograde. Haley’s comet orbits in retrograde.
