Recently, scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. It was assumed that it had formed about 10 billion years ago, absorbing another smaller galaxy.

Moreover, scientists from the Canadian Institute of Theoretical Physics suggest that during the Big Bang, two worlds were formed: ours and the other – the opposite, where the time goes on the opposite. .
