ANTIMATTER QUASI-STELLAR OBJECTS AND EVOLUTION OF GALAXIES

Astronomical observations indicate that there is a continuous developmental sequence from quasi-stellar objects, by way of N-galaxies, Seyfert galaxies, and radio galaxies, to ordinary galaxies. We interpret the sequence as an evolutionary pathway. If we accept this view we find that the total energy released during the lifetime of a galaxy is so great that the most likely source is annihilation. The demand for symmetry in the universe between koinomatter and antimatter indicates that there must be equal quantities of the two kinds of matter in every galaxy. From this it seems likely that a galaxy is born as an ambiplasma body, which releases a great deal of energy by annihilation. Separation of the ambiplasma into koinomatter and antimatter in reasonably stable configurations, and the burning out of the nonseparated ambiplasma, should be the main processes which govern the evolution from protogalaxies and quasi-stellar objects to ordinary galaxies.
