Bricks off the wall

Last July, the last time my Lenovo demanded an update then broke, there was talk that our galaxy has a light central mass. On this day we're hearing instead that the Milky Way is too large for its surroundings, a "cosmologic wall" called Local Sheet.

To reconcile these data: we started out in a cluster of smaller galaxies like that Kraken. The Local Sheet is an artifact of galactic walls at formation. We gobbled up the Kraken's stars; lost our original black-hole to the merge.
