It is a vast and very populated galaxy. We don't want to die!

let us see if we can speed that up. maybe friends there, no?

It is a merger not a collision !

Spaces involved are vast.

Essentially nothing is actually going to collide !

The merger will not be complete for millions or years.

Again, no collisions.

All the stars and planets of the two galaxies each act together as one Casagi. The two will collide.

Well, you can call it whatever you want, BUT essentially nothing's
going to actually collide. For me, that's a merger ...

The absolute bottom line on all this IS :

Distances are so vast, that Man's NEVER going to go anywhere outside
the Solar system.

Do the simple math :

Distance = Speed x Time

Even at near or equal light speed, which is most extreemly UN-likely,
times would be prohibitive due to very great distances. At current
conventional space travel speeds, times would be thousands of
MILLENNIA !

I believe this is the reason that we're NOT visited by allien species
which likely populate the cosmos ...

A galaxy is still a galaxy. Something holds it together. A car is just a collection of atoms. Yet cars collide.

Never mind about light speed. As with most things man's ideas are nebulous and lack substance.

A galaxy is still a galaxy. Something holds it together.

Ageed. There's gravity. But even gravity doesn't act instantaneously.
Like some things, it's effect propogates only at light speed. A change
in Andromeda wouldn't be felt here for over 2.5 million years !

A car is just a collection of atoms. Yet cars collide.

Again agree, BUT colliding cars are unlike merging galaxies in that
there will be essentially no collisions in the latter.

Never mind about light speed. ...

What ?! Haven't you heard of Einstein's relativities ? Absolutely
nothing has ever been observed to exceed light speed, in all astronomy
and even in the big accellorators ( SP ? ), ( Cern ?, Hadron ? ).

Gravity is way too weak a force to hold something as massive as a galaxy together.

Lots of things go faster than 186,000 miles per second. But when something goes that fast it exits the universe--that is why it cannot be observed.

Your problem is that you are trying to talk according to the system. The system does not function. It never did.
