Little correction to my comment - most sources have electromagnetism as being 10^36 times stronger than gravity (not 10^37), which fits the galaxy/proton diameter ratio 10^21 meters/10^15 meters = 10^36 best.

[CACBCCCU]

The ratio of the radius of a proton (10^-15 meters) to the radius of the milky way galaxy (10^21 meters), which is a typical spiral galaxy and close in size to the ring in Hoag's galaxy, is about equal to the strength of gravity compared to electromagnetism (10^37). I doubt it's a coincidence but a wave property of gravity.

I do not get the comment about 109 degrees, but that's youtube comments for ya. Reminds me of the angle between hydrogen atoms in water, anyway.

You really haven't got a clue ...

This is how it is ... place two pencils @ 109 degrees to each other and repeat this another 3 times so that you have 4 lots of two pencils at 109 degrees.

Put three of these pairs together with the three angles touching in the centre (3x109)

now try to place the fourth pair into the other three pair without upsetting the 360 degree circle (sphere) which the first three pair compose ... there is your answer
