I think spiral galaxies are enigmatic. Their stars appear to be spiraling into the black holes at their centers but we now know this isn’t the case.
The gravity of Dark Matter is keeping the stars more or less in their orbits about the center, and the stars at the edge of the galaxies are orbiting at the same speed as those closest to the center. This leads me to think that galaxies such as the Whirlpool might once have actually been sending their stars spiraling towards the center and the Dark Matter appeared and stopped them in their tracks, literally.
