Two galaxies GA on the left, GB on the right, with a filament between them.

Are both galaxies providing mass to the filament?


The mass coming from GA to the filament is moving to the right, mass from GB is moving to the left. Do the opposite traveling masses collide along the filament?

If GA has a denser contribution than GB, can some of the mass from GA make it through the filament to GB? Like they balancing/sharing the mass between them? To an equilibrium?

Sorry, I got a lot of questions… :wink:

They are too far away from each other . The filament is where all galaxies are . Not in the space between them .
