Don't Sweat the Milky Way Andromeda Merger

It is only a merger, NOT a collision.

There will be essentially no actual star ( or anything else ) collisions.

This is due to the relatively miniscule size of stars compared to vast distances between them.

After a few billion years of gravitational interactions, things will have settled down to a single stable resulting galaxy.

See you were planning on living forever after all.

Didn't say or imply that I'd be here to see any of this, only that it will happen this way.

You would not be telling us not to worry about it if you thought none of us

would live to see it.

That's simply not the case. I was only telling everyone to not worry about it NOW.

I wasn't addressing anything in the future although that's also applicable.

I'm not trying to play word games, but what is the point of telling people not to worry about the arrival of Andromeda if there is not a chance they will witness it?

Well that's plain ridiculous.

Referencing and discussing things that will occur far in the future,
well beyond the time that anyone here now will have any chance to see
them, has always been a useful part of any discussion or analysis.

Can't believe you actually said that.





Don't worry 'bout it,.....the world is going to blow up in less than 12
years anyway.
Or are you going to call little GrettaThumberg, AOC, and Al Gore, LIARS.

If so how dare you ,...HOW DARE YOU !!!

You are clearly not in touch with what you are saying. No one stays an

atheist forever.

None of that is true.
