Andromeda/MW Collision (Universe Sandbox)

[Firelordofhyrule]

By the time this happen's we will be a type 3 civilization, and we'll be able to prevent it.

[Firelordofhyrule]

@Firelordofhyrule *happens

[martyback]

Galaxy simulations are actually not accurate because Universe Sandbox doesn't take dark matter into account with its calculations. Which would be an enormous feat to program, understandably.

[SAMPSpartan]

@martyback Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum! It's all there! Black and white, clear as crystal!

[shadow15555555555]

@martyback Do you even know what Dark matter is and how it relates to two galaxies colliding? or did you just read the Wikipedia article on the game which said it wasn't included.

[martyback]

@shadow15555555555 I do know. I was just letting him know that the galaxy collisions weren't as accurate as he might've thought.

[marceloaguiar76]

Universe Sandbox? For a second there I thought it was "Google Universe".

[CoolShoes06]

I think you mean each frame is equal to 50,000 years in the video... and the simulator is very realistic, but I have yet to see one that really stands out as REALLY realistic. It's super fun though to create your own universe, they should upgrade it more or create Universe Sandbox 3

[nkk20012001]

Would be a reorganization at a macro level....won't effect minnows like sun.....we areso fucking small....who created this fucking joke called the universeeee

[22newname]

the galaxies look fake when u zoom in. but the game is interesting. i like it :D

[xLurycz]

FUCK WE LOST!

[Tokillornottokill2]

@chrisw443 It's estimated that this is gonna happen in 2.5 Billion years, so your probably right...And if we didnt invent that, then WOW we are stupid!

[DoctorCrown8]

Milky Way: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUU

Andromeda: OH SHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­III

[cloj63]

sorry to disapoint you; but it is not a "realistic" simulation as sandbox use a black hole containing the entire mass of the galaxy and make gravitates thousands object with no mass to simulate a galaxy. This is the only way to create galaxies without using dark matter and dark energy.

My point is; in this simulation, all "stars" are attracted to the center of the other galaxy when they "collide" due to very high mass in the center. as normally the center would not attract THAT much.

[123Braylon]

@cloj63 Hey.....shut up.......

[ghosthunter2006]

@cloj63 true. i downloaded it to simulate this but only found out that it doesnt simulate the dark matter so it doesnt affect the future shape of the galaxy. both galaxies started to expand rapidly after the collision. and when i tried to create my own galaxy by placing stars and black holes manually my comp couldnt handle all the calculating even tho ive got a pretty decent rig.)

[cloj63]

@ghosthunter2006 If it where effectively simulating Dark matter and Dark energy, it would not have been a game, but a Nobel price's simulator ^^. Note that the program itself can't calculate more than a certain number of parameters. Each time speed is increased, it is that much calculation to make in the same amount of IRL time. Take this video's simulation, increase the speed, and you'll notice some star being ejected no too long after; because your computer needed to round off to keep up.

[ghosthunter2006]

@cloj63 yeah noticed that as well. it lacks accuracy when you speed up the process..

What's the song name.

[smaniz]

@Theonegamefreak Song is "Folk Implosion - Crash". SoundHound app on my smartphone found it within seconds. Gotta love these modern gadgets...

[Theonegamefreak]

@smaniz There's also Midomi and other audio identifiers.

[9000888sora]

@portal2rulez

then we all freeze to death in the next year =D

[Portal2Rulez]

@9000888sora how come this didn't go to my inbox??? >:(

[Portal2Rulez]

The chance that a star (say our own) will collide with another during the merging of The Milky Way and Andromeda is extremely extremely small. They are just too spaced apart. Yaaay. So we will most likely be completely untouched. Even if we are flung out of the new galaxy, we will still be unharmed. :D

[ShadowKNighT788]

@Portal2Rulez

we would be dead w/o the sun XD

[Portal2Rulez]

@ShadowKNighT788 we as in the Solar System (including the Sun!) SILLY :D

[ShadowKNighT788]

@Portal2Rulez

LOL yea !!! but without proper orbit, we can't do anything but float in space..... the amount of speed we would be flung @ couldn't possibly maintain a perfect circular orbit

[Portal2Rulez]

@ShadowKNighT788 not true, actually. There aren't any drag forces in space, so if the Sun is flung out, were stain with it completely unchanged! YAYERZ.

[ShadowKNighT788]

@Portal2Rulez

Hey hey hey, i learned something today :P

:D

[Portal2Rulez]

@ShadowKNighT788 SUCCESS. I WIN! :D

[ShadowKNighT788]

@Portal2Rulez

:P i guess you do.... lol

[Portal2Rulez]

@ShadowKNighT788 :)))) <--- FLUB :D:D:D

[TheDMDowntown1]

I can see my house from there.  It got flattened by the north pole of Messier 31.

[shadowhunter388]

Why is it when I do this I can't go fast with timestep without having things fly everwhere? Do you need a good processor to get a accurate sim. of galaxy collision?

[caleron0]

it appears exciting and boring at the same time..

i never knew this was possible

[thatthat2]

music?

[AyeSpy90]

There goes the neighborhood.



[lazy4u1]

can u turn up or down the effect of gravity and other things?

[weakmindedidiot]

@bentheboy : Yes, the source that backs this conclusion is a science known as physics. It's pretty well understood. It won't go down exactly like the above simulation but it will be pretty close.

[MrPypap]

Well in the future we will have giant lasers and we will destroy andromeda's stars and then some one gets a giant tv screen and tells andromeda it just got rick rolled. A boy can dream

[MrPypap]

@KempSAB Old age...

[MrPypap]

Enjoy this video while enjoying your candy bar - the milky way

[MaxKemeny]

Due to the relative amount of space between galaxies, galatic collision are rather common. If the Milky way is the size of a dinner plate, then Andromeda is a slightly larger plate about 10 metres away. So they're not very far apart.

However, stars are relatively far father apart than galaxies. If the Sun was a marble, then the nearest star would be another marble many kilometres away. So stellar collisions are highly unlikely, so it's unlikely for any stars to collide in a galactic collision.

[jmrwacko]

Despite this looking freakishly effing destructive, the size of the solar systems of these galaxies compared to the vast amount of space between each star system means our solar system probably won't be annihilated by such an event.

[iSewil]

How did you spawn the galaxy like obliquely?

[welcomegohome]

If you wanna mess around in space play EVE Online. You may not be able to play god like this, but it's a lot prettier and really gives you an accurate feeling for the vastness of space.

[Hedonophobia]

@welcomegohome AKA Excel; the game. Or Space Quantity Surveyor Simulator. Or "This is totally not like other MMO's you don't grind for exp... you grind for isk". Or "spend 2 hours waiting for fleet only to be instagib'd and/or crash the moment you enter the system"

[Tassadaritze]

You can see the sun if you move your mouse somewhere around our milky way galaxy... I hate seeing comments before seeing the video... Anyway, it saves me from seeing fucking screamers.

[Xhado0]

Very cool.

Also, I like that beat, what's it from?

[thehulkcoaster10]

this was on msn so it might now be 784783 years i could come any time cause the space wind

[MrMpalmer33]

Oh no! Our galaxy is going to collide with another in a few billion years! Quick, pack the bags, we're off to the bunker!

[stankado10]

@murnighalib yes im afraid so....but dont panic right now! we still have billions of years left before this happens

[murnighalib]

is this real cause the milky way galaxy is the place we live in

[shadowphen22]

@murnighalib im afraid it is real but why give a shit coss it doesnt affect us by one bit

[noveltyskateboards]

@murnighalib OH SHIT REALLY all this time i thought we lived on Messier 51A :P  and yes it's real xD

[Burnz2much]

lol it looked like a river of milk when viewed side on like the ancients saw it.. 

[Nitzleplick]

On certain clear nights you can see a streak in the sky that looks like a long milk spill in the heavens. People never look up do they?

[candr]

@Nitzleplick I think its more that theres to much light for most people to see. I live away from cities and outdoor ligts and the sky is great for viewing. And even here the light pollution is probably stoping me from seeing more.

[Nexstarcrazyness]

Most likely we are gonna survive thanks to Jupiter and other gas giants, the only possibility is something the size of mars or earth. And thats like saying we will collide with a twin earth out there. If that happens then let them come! We wouldnt have to travel that far searching for them!

[jakub155time]

It gonna colide and make the stars blow away and make a new galaxy called "HuLaMil" =3

[23Firejet]

so thats gonna happen..

[Nexstarcrazyness]

Thats all well and good if our systems were made of generic particles. But does this simulation consider gas, rock and heat, blackholes,ect? Because All these things do different things to galactic regions. Like if a star were to collide with another, would it explode, merge, become a blackhole sucking in matter? Would this happen everywhere in the galaxy as the two merge? I should expect alot of things to happen. Quantum computers should be able to calc this out i here.

[PSNDonutDude]

@Nexstarcrazyness Well firstly collisions would be rare, but what this simulation shows us is that if this happens and we are not extinct, we are either going to be very lucky and survive or be completely fucked. On sizes of this proportion small details like star collisions don't matter.

[MrVrsilvestrejr2008]

When will this be happened??? Only GOD knows so repent now!!!

[q8wizard]

When they imerge to each others and after all the shits happens they will form an bigger galaxy or what ?

[lucassebastiao2010]

@ q8wizard, yes they will be a great galaxy.

[yossie1995]

how is that simulation progam called? and where can you find it?

[PSNDonutDude]

@yossie1995 You are kidding me right? Are you new to youtube, little buddy? Always check the description box dumbshit.

[Joey75Fit]

The Milky Way word is translated from it's Latin translation Via Lactea. As Samspartan states, since from our sun's position, the galaxy does resembled a spilled milk.

[InvaderGIR98]

@Joey75Fit

Galaxy is the latin word for milk, if i'm remembering correctly

(My name is Joey! LOL)

[lucassebastiao2010]

@InvaderGIR98 , it is wrong, I'm brasilian and my official language is Portuguese, and it's a latin language. GALAXY mean GREAT by the Latin. In Portuguese, "Milk Way" is "Via Láctea" ."Via" is in Greek Βαειος, and it mean Way; "Láctea" is in Greek Λακτος, it mean Milk. Thank you for the comprehension. Good Bye, Lucas.

[InvaderGIR98]

@lucassebastiao2010

Oh, ok then.

[makanireejoh]

at least I know I won't be alive when that happens

[TheChosenOneOfRussia]

Man where you finded this music,im searching for days!

[hersheylala]

this is almost taking as long as the actually event... speed this shit up!

[chrisw443]

im sure if were around then we would have had inter galactic space travel. so were all good!

[FS9Media]

eh doesn't mater its not like were gonna die from this...possible but not likely...so im told

[Quackoid]

@chrisw443 Well, the collision problably wont kill us. If it does, its problably because of the Andromeda core smashing RIGHT INTO US, or flowing debris. We will problably be joined, with alot more stars in the sky at night.

[BloodwraithFTW]

@chrisw443 And tell me, how will 'inter galactic space travel' take us out of the galaxy? You think we'd really leave the MW to travel into Dark Space into nothingness?

[dxmagma]

@BloodwraithFTW That's what inter galactic means, travel to other Galaxies. There's more then just the Milky Way and the Andromeda out there.

[BloodwraithFTW]

@dxmagma I know that my friend, there are a ton of other galaxies out there. But we will not have the technology to possibly travel from Galaxy to Galaxy. The Human race will most likely be non-existent in millions of years.

[dxmagma]

@BloodwraithFTW Not necessarily. If Humanity did manage to survive for millions of years it's more then likely they'd be something entirely different then modern man, but it's easily within human limits to survive millions of years.

If humanity does survive that long, inter-galactic travel is almost a given. That's something with in the realm of thousands of years from now.

[LegolessVideos]

@chrisw443 We're never going to leave our own solar system -- don't get your hopes up.

[3Dchocolate]

@chrisw443 Actually, even though the stars collide, the stars are so far appart that only a few will actually come into contact with eachtother so were safe anyway!

[agentbummer]

my teacher said this will happen in 3 billion years. human's wont even see the sun's end sequence, they'll see an even more spectacular scenery with Andromeda and MW beating each other.up. but of course, at that time we're gonna fucking die.

[LazyBoy159741]

Feels like being bashed up in the class room by my schoolmate in really really extremely excruciatingly slow motion...

[shutup735]

ya "it is a great program" 25$ for this, fuck this, mega rip off

[reeftraverse]

Yeah I think the MW pretty much dominated that shit.

[selearemus]

lol some ppl say "the galaxies make love" and im like WTF?

i see this like the ultimate fight for survival,we need to destroy andromeda xD

[Ibrahimovic1919]

@selearemus

Yah, I missed the making love part too :/

[kutubu1]

galaxies making love

[SSBloxLines]

True Fact, Andromeda IS Bigger than the Milky Way. Though I have one question that's never been answered, How come they named our galaxy the "Milk Way"?

[SAMPSpartan]

If I remember correctly, the name Milky Way Galaxy comes from the way the galaxy looks. The galaxy somewhat resembles spilled milk, or something like that.

[SSBloxLines]

@SAMPSpartan Thanks.

[SSBloxLines]

But one more question, What's the name of the song? It relaxes me.

[ilikecryptozoology]

@SAMPSpartan its a greek story about herkules breastfeeding from hera then he spitted it out on the sky and it became the milky way...

[LazyFraze]

@SAMPSpartan

According to Carl Sagan:

"The Greek religion explained that diffuse band of light in the night sky as the milk of Hera, squirted from her breast across the heavens, a legend that is the origin of the phrase Westerners still use - the Milky Way."

Hera was Greek goddess of sky and the wife of Zeus.

[skatosauros]

@SAMPSpartan im from greece and galaxy is the same thing as milky way.milky way is just the transaltion of the greek word galaxy

[Chinkeyface]

@SAMPSpartan Milky way is such a shit name :( 

[Zerkezhi]

@Chinkeyface

what's a better name?

chocolate island?

vanilla whirl?

dust expansion?

[Chinkeyface]

@Zerkezhi Vanilla face.

[D0CCON]

@SAMPSpartan

I thought it was to sell more candy bars

[Sotrass]

@SAMPSpartan

Correct

[plasticjuda]

@SAMPSpartan Correct me if i am wrong, but i guess, that it comes from a greek myth, where Gera fed baby Heracle with her breast milk and spilling it all over the sky, when finding out, who she actually fed...

[ShadowKNighT788]

@SAMPSpartan

it's derived from greek mythology

[sw5451]

@SSBloxLines If you haven't found out yet. On a very clear night with no moon and no clouds you can see one of the rings of the milky way and its white like milk.

[Andreyaza]

@SSBloxLines

actually, is IS called milky way, cause if you look at it without telescope, it looks like milk.

the official term galaxy is actually also originated from the greek word 'gala', which means 'milk'.

[BillyBoomstick]

@SSBloxLines It's called the Milky Way because the Greeks looked up up the night sky and name the central bulge galocose ( or something close to that ) which is Greek for milk for its whittish color. So we named it the Milky Way.

[twitchalmighty]

@SSBloxLines

In all truth, when you look at the sky at night where there is no light pollution, there is what seems to be a brighter strip, that brighter strip is the galactic plane, early people that saw this thought it looked like a thin stream of milk, there by naming our galaxy "The Milky Way".

[wolfman3902001]

@SSBloxLines Right. Very early astronomers looked up at night and saw the dust and clouds that shroud the galaxy. It resembles a "milky river",hence the name.

[almskaya]

@SSBloxLines That comes from a greek legend: Their was godess, brestfeeding a baby, her man had with another woman. When she realized it, she flinged out the baby and her milk spread into the universe.

[kevinlmanon]

@SSBloxLines it is called as such because there resides a planet mother earth she gives the milk the nurturing of the mothers milk this is why it is called as such and also because it was called in ancient egypt.

[GMAXpictures]

@SSBloxLines choclate +cream

[JaysonCusi]

this will happen after billions of years.

[disy96]

andromeda doesn't have arms it has rings

[kjknohw]

impressive. Do they assume all of the mass is in the centers of the gals?

[Andreware]

nice program! If they make another it'd be interesting to include dust simulations, of all the nebulae and stuff between the stars.

[Untchabll]

The galaxies will be torn apart because, the gravity of both galaxies will cause the stars and planets to go out of control.

[lifehole1]

Yes, but the chances of a rouge star colliding would be very low, and yes, it would.

[lifehole1]

No, it wouldnt, at least not in earth/other solar systems way, in a total, yes, there would be gravity reacting alot and whatnot, but it wont effect us one bit, and theres only a 1% or less chance that another sun/solar system would collide with us. Look, I'm not speaking from what i know from random internet sources, i speak from what i know, from school and other friends.

[AtomicNerd001]

sad thing is, when it happens there will be nothing we can do about it :(

[lifehole1]

er, but it wont do anything to us.... At least there is like below a 1% chance.... We are actually combining with like 2 or 3 other galaxies right now.

[AtomicNerd001]

it will have an effect if our orbit is screwed up by larger stars, we could freeze or burn :S

[lifehole1]

But the chances of that are near none, for most stars in the galaxy.

[shutup735]

sad thin is, when this happen, the star would have exploded in a super nova and the human race wouldent exist

[HailSinbel]

Unless we escape our sandbox :P

[benythebot]

any sources backing up that conclusion?

[FS9Media]

human race will not exist...rofl dude were like what 40 years into space travel and were gettign ready to go to mars? where do you think we will be in a billion years? not here...

[eshtibou]

ouch...that hurt..

[GTAstuntman101]

i recreated VV cephi in Universe Sandbox

[dodow1234]

Aww man, I wonder If my insurance gonna cover this

[beastlife2145436659]

do u get galaxy f-ed up by some other a**hole glaxy insurince? i need some hahaha

[SAMPSpartan]

Crash by Folk Implosion. pretty hard to find.

[jmartirossian]

Just so long as the Solar Systems stays part of the new galaxy and doesn't get flung into space, it'll be fine. Just sad to think of our galaxy losing its grand shape.

[joypr12]

cool all this is going to happen after i die :D

[IASC123]

how come i never knew about this before now. this looks fun, and very cool.

[ShadowRSonic]

aww earth got 0wned

[TimebanditYS]

No it didn't.

[ShadowRSonic]

Please, tell me. What galaxy do we live in?

Yeah, the milky way. Teh milky way blew up (Not the correct term, I know). And EARTH would be destroyed too.

[TimebanditYS]

Yeah, no. The milkyway didn't blow up. Planets and solar systems were flung around by gravity of opposing forces, some breaking free from gravity and venturing into the universe. If you actually knew what you were talki g about you would know that there was no actual direct collision of stars or planets following this future event due to their small sizes (compared to the vastness of space). This process takes billions of years to do, this is sped up by millions of years a second. Shut up.

[XXXXXXXZar]

The solar system is 25000 light years away from the Milky Way's center, which is too close to avoid the gravitational pull from Andromeda's center. Even if Earth survives it will no longer reside in the Solar system's habitable zone and as a result all life will end.

[dodow1234]

Naaah couple hundred thousand before this happend our scientist will complete its work on creating huge wormhole or maybe warp technology, capable of transporting whole population of earth to another galaxy. And so then we will began our first mass exodus to next galaxy which will complete in 40 years.

[dodow1234]

Lol that's the best happy ending I can make.

Be positif people, what's the matter with ya, mankind will always survive because we always use our supreme intelligent. We are the smartest being in universe. We can spotted a galaxy or planet that can support live which distance hundred million light years from our home planet. What else can explain our supreme intelligent. We are the best race ever

[dodow1234]

and when this event finally occur, we will witness it from our new planet in our new galaxy. Whole planet will watch this event, record it in history, and commemorate it's date every year as our universe day, to respect it, and to bid farewell to our first home planet. Birthplace of human race. Goodbye Earth.

Wow looks like Im gone too far there.... Lol lol

[lifehole1]

lolollool nothing will happen, we will easily survive, chances of stars hitting in galaxy combining are very very low.... and this simulation is not correct, it wont explode..... It will combine.

[gwailogavin]

it didn't "explode", the two galaxy cores are orbiting around each other, there's always some scatter when two massive objects collide in space.

[lifehole1]

they dont orbit in this, they collide, and get shot reallly reaaaaaaallly far away and then the stars just drift off, in the simulation, i own this.

[TimebanditYS]

Also when this is over they will both form into 1 larger galaxy.

[Duhya]

u better hope u fly outward before getting hnit by something in that explosion XD

[buster2Xk]

There was no actual explosion, just everything being flung around by gravity, and it really would have taken billions of years to happen, so we'll be fine if we don't get flung away from any heat source (our sun) XD
