Andromeda is going to collide with us. Save the Milky Way!

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. |

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 ? ). |

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 ? ). 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. |
