comment Neutrinos vs. Photons: Who wins the race across the galaxy?
First thing that occured to me is that neutrinos from a supernova often arrive before the photons from the same event (because the shell of exploding matter becomes transparent to neutrinos before photons), but I suppose in that case the neutrinos are cheating by getting a head start...

comment How can a train locomotive generate enough traction to pull all the coaches?
I'd add that the coefficient of friction between the locomotive wheels and the rails does matter - if it is too low, the wheels will slip instead of rolling.

comment Why are some galaxies flat?
Unfortunately this seems to be mostly wild speculation, and as far as I can tell is almost entirely wrong. As a starting point, it would be useful if you could reference where you're getting your information.

Hi - I re-did the math formatting in your post. Feel free to tweak it if it's not quite to your liking. This is a starting point to learning the LaTeX markup used on SE: physics.stackexchange.com/faq#notation
