re: More arguements

As the universe ages, galaxies might get larger. The area of the galactic disks would increase with the square of the radius:

Area = pi * R^2

So if the mean radius of a random sample of galaxies varies directly with time, via some proportionality constant, then we have the following equation:

R = k * t

and we can substitute the above equation into the kinetic energy equation derived previously:

KE = 0.5 * m * (a * k * R)^2
