Did you get the author's permission to copy this work without any
comment of your own, spamming shit head?

Where is your discussion, or is cut and paste all you can do, spamming
shit head?

Have you ever wondered what your life might have been like if you had
the competence to do more than just copy the words of others, spamming
piece of shit?

I'm not sure why this is a surprise.  There isn't going to be a lot of 
scale-based difference in the dynamics of a tenuous gas cloud until it 
gets dense enough that the effects of the molecules banging against one 
another, e.g. ionization, magnetism, eventually fusion, can predominate 
over gravity.

   I don't know that it was so much a surprise, as a confirmation.
   Another piece of evidence to help us understand how thing work.
