Default A Galaxy is More than the Sum of its Parts

That is why we know Andromeda will crash into us some day.

How is the fact that "A Galaxy is More than the Sum of its Parts" is why
"That is why we know Andromeda will crash into us some day."??

You are not just your cells, you are also your whole person. Galaxies are the same.

The 2 galaxies are not going to "crash" into one another, like 2 cars
in an accident.

Essentially no stars in either galaxy are actually going to collide.

Gravitational interactions will result in a single combined galaxy.

The event is far more like a merger.

Note that spacially, if stars were the size of common glass marbles,
then they'd be seperated by hundreds or even thousands of miles !

There is still some powerful force binding all the stars and planets within the galaxy together into a single unit...that will act as a single unit... That unit can and will collide with us. I don't think it will be as bad as a car collision, but I am sure there will be some major changes in what once was two galaxies.

For sure!! But, given that, what has your Subject: got to do with the
line you posted??

Have you ever heard of the term "non sequitur"??

If you have any intelligence it is very sequitur.

The standard cosmological model, using just masses interacting by
gravity alone, and also taking account of relativity, fits all
observations exactly.

No stars are actually going to collide.

A new combined galaxy will result out of the merger.
