The mass source could be tiny which explains why we haven't noticed it. It also explains the extreme symmetry, which would be tough to do with dark matter sufficient to hold a galaxy together to cause this.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">Let me know if you'd like me to post their reply!<\/div>\n<h3>The following is arguably a much better video, by Ed himself:<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Can Stars BEND LIGHT?
