3$\begingroup$ Nice question! But can you please specify what do you mean by "out of balance" like in the analogy you gave? $\endgroup$– ArjunCommented Sep 29, 2023 at 13:59

$\begingroup$ No because the Galaxy would fly apart with or ital speeds too strong for gravity..The towels are stopped by the container walls . $\endgroup$– user52394Commented Sep 29, 2023 at 16:06

$\begingroup$ I was thinking, could the mass get unevenly distributed, perhaps when galaxies move into the gravitational field of another galaxy. $\endgroup$– TimRCommented Sep 29, 2023 at 17:30
