Globular clusters have a few well known characteristics
They contain only old stars
All stars within a globular cluster are approximately the same age
They contain very few heavy elements
The heavier the supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy, the more globular clusters orbit around that galaxy
Based on the above I speculate that globular clusters around the Milky Way were formed by gas emitted from the jets of the supermassive black hole at its center, by the time our galaxy was a quasar.
I've just had the thought this evening. Not that I would claim to be the first, it seems too easy of an idea to not have been proposed before.
Anyway, what would be your objections to this hypothetical origin, or maybe you do know some other clue(s) which would point towards the same interpretation of the above observations?
