milkyway collision with andromeda

[JF060392]

in approx. 2.3 billion years andromeda our galatic neighbor will close in on our galaxy. what will happen is that the bigger galaxy being andromeda wins and our galaxy will be crushed with extreme gravity which will cripple almost all of the stars causing many to go supernova. if you were in the small or large mangellinic clouds on a planet the entire sky would be lit up for 2 billion years. when observing the galaxy i calculated that it is 2.83 times the size of the milky way (length 8000000000 ly).:camera:

In 2.3 billion years we will still not give a pile of burning excrement about it.

You're really into this armageddon-type stuff aren't you? Let me tell you, it's HOAX. None of that deep impact trash is going to happen for billions of years. By that time, Earth's natural resources will be burned out and our population will have grown to the point that Earth's land space can no longer sustain us. That is, of course, assuming that we are still existent in 2 billion years.

Evolution...global war...plague...there's a lot of other things we should be worrying about before galactic collisions.

*Note : Evolution is not something we should be concerned about.

Hmmmm...I would not think that both of the galaxies will end up in pure destruction. I like space, from what I heard, it happened to many other galaxies that clustered to make larger ones. It's natural....nothings bad about it.

Unless your quantum physics class was far beyond mine you are missing some very key elements of the equation. Calculating the mass of both galaxies would be necessary in order to make such a assumption. Also since objects implode in space wouldnt it be more likely for both galaxies to supernova and the smaller of the two to be sucked into the larger?

Its a THOERY based on the evidence of the way the stars are moving and over time these two gallaxies will come together, supernova or not, thats as open for debate as this idea, we have seen supernova in gallaxies that dont destroy the whole gallaxy, but form a nursery for new stars inside that gallaxy, the overall mass so to speak cannot even today be ACCURATELY be measured, its like our time an estimate, and when l went to school they taught some out there ideas that we know to be proven wrong today, through science, l would say looking at the evidence at hand its more likely to happen than not , whether humans are around or not , this gallaxy will still have form no matter how it evolves, and considering the blackhole at our gallaxy center is extreemely massive, so is the one headed for us, so its really an open debate to what happens but l trust the super computors simulations, they are the best we have, may not be perfect, but without them we would not have discovered this.
