Is the Spiral Galaxy a Cosmic Hurricane?

It is discussed that the formation of the spiral galaxies is driven by the cosmic background rotation, not a result of an isolated evolution proposed by the density wave theory. To analyze the motions of the galaxies, a simple double particle galaxy model is considered and the Coriolis force formed by the rotational background is introduced. The numerical analysis shows that not only the trajectory of the particle is the spiral shape, but also the relationship between the velocity and the radius reveals both the existence of spiral arm and the change of the arm number. In addition, the results of the three-dimensional simulation also give the warped structure of the spiral galaxies, and shows that the disc surface of the warped galaxy, like a spinning coins on the table, exists a whole overturning movement. Through the analysis, it can be concluded that the background environment of the spiral galaxies have a large-scale rotation, and both the formation and evolution of hurricane-like spiral galaxies are driven by this background rotation.
