I have often wondered why galaxies spin. It seems to be due to some sort of gravitational pull, but the Galaxy's themselves are light years apart from their centers to their spiral arms. How can this be if the fastest thing is supposed to be light? How can the center of each Galaxy which is thought to be a black hole, effect something light years away?

Gravity has nothing to do with how spiral galaxies work, that’s the whole point. In fact gravity could not even begin to hold galaxies together given the distances and sizes involved. Other kinds of things which we read about in the media, such as black holes, also turn out to be fiction.

The exact counter to the speed of light is the speed of dark.

What that is telling you IMO, is that our models and theory’s of the universe are just that, and the universe will operate with our models and theory’s not standing.
