Zoe, perhaps you should read a bit more about gravity. It is an attractive
force between matter. A cloud of hydrogen gas in space is subject to its
own
gravity. The individual hydrogen molecules would be tugged toward the
gravitational center of the cloud. That gravity acts against the gas'
tendency to expand.

gravity is fascinating, from what I've been reading. The fact that
two stars appear to exert an instantaneous effect on each other, even
though they are millions of miles apart, would seem to indicate that
there is some force that is faster than light. Yet, so far, it is
considered that nothing can move faster than light. So what is this
connection that covers distance faster than light?

And why should the speed of light be the final answer to speed in our
knowledge of the universe? What if, at the point where an object is
supposed to become so massive when nearing the speed of light, that
instead of continuing to become more massive and slowing down, it
instead disintegrates into pure energy? Would those particles, at
that high speed, then be able to be pushed beyond the speed of light?

As to your statement that a cloud of hydrogen gas in space is subject
to its own gravity, are you saying that the more atoms or molecules
there are in a gas, the higher the chance is that the gas will become
dense and not spread out? Is there some law of physics that says that
the greater the volume of gas, the more prone are its particles to be
attracted to each other? How does that work, especially if the gas is
spreading out, according to 2LoT (if such a law exists out there)?

I mean, gases on earth do not tend to pack more closely depending on the
quantity, do they?

Oh dear, oh dear
On earth you watch gasses in a gravitational field. The behavior you observe
here appear different from that of a cloud in space. In space gasses only
got it's own combined mutual attraction to the mass of each other's
molecules.
Look at a gasmolecule in the atmosphere: it's attracted to a mutual center
of mass with the mass that surrounds it (earth in particular). The
attraction dwindles as distance squared between the masses involved - that's
why the closest masses are the very most important, but the accumulated
effect of earth mass out do neighbouring molecular attraction.
Your specific question above would take a large lecture on the verymost
basic mechanic. A large mass (see mass as the constant, the volume of it is
not) of gass may contract itself if it's individual molecules are close
enough to their mutual center of mass - the molecules that sets out toward
the mutual center of mass doesn't stop until they bump into each other and
all sorts of things may happen.
If cosmos has a well defined center of mass, it may make sense to talk of
local centers like a cloud, earth, solar system or gallaxy.
........ for whatever bearing it has on the question of your thread
