Will this collision decimate our planet? Doesn't matter the sun will have long since burned out by then, and that will be the end of the earth, or at least life on it.
actually even if our sun was still alive, the distances between stars are so big, that not even one single star from our galaxy will collide with a star from Andromeda :)
@faab007 the problem kid is that you're clueless about black holes and gravity. a black hole with a horizon of about 10m in diameter could go throw Earth and exit the other side without any major damage. go back to school and stop insulting, you don't impress anyone here.
1. Yes we will collide. We = Milky Way and Andromeda, NOT we the people on Earth.
2. Whether the sun will burn our or not, whether we-people stay in solar system or not, the 2 galaxies still hit each other. Our Sun is just one in perhaps 150 billion stars within Milky way. There is absolutely nothing special about our sun and absolutely nothing special about us-people. We are just a tiny dot of dust in the universe.
Yes, but the world will not END during the collsion.
You see, stars are very far apart and quite small on this scale, so the chances of two stars (one from MW, one from Andromeda) colliding are very very small.
Of course the world will end during the collision. When Milky Way collide with Andromeda all the stars and all the planets inside these Galaxies will hit each other that will be a lot of explosions and both galaxies will spin in the same direction and finally their both will be merged into one big Galaxy. Billions of stars and millions of asteroids, meteors, comets, planets all will collide one into another. Planet Earth will be destroyed including the Sun and other planets in our solar system.
@ChronicMist Anyways the reason I first responded to your reaction was because it seemed as you meant by it 'nothing' would happen that's why I said gravity because the other galaxy won't just simply pass through(Since your first reaction made me think you meant that). the hydrogen clouds do collide and will increase star formation in the two colliding galaxies and distance does not change that. and sorry didnt mean to offend you
@faab007 yes, but what's the problem with star formation? our life here on earth wouldn't be changed by nothing. but wait...it will be already changed. our sun will have died for about 5 billion years before this collision will happen... and yes, again, not even ONE single star will collide. yet again you don't understand the distances between stars.
@ChronicMist I don't understand your hostility, you expect everyone here to study astronomy? You must be a terrible person in real life. I do not know any highschool that teaches so much there is to know about black holes, galaxies and what not. I already explained that I must've misunderstood your first comment to someone else about suns not hitting eachother. My only point was that something would happen if galaxies collided that's it. Have a nice day being a jerk on youtube
its becouse the black whole in the middle of the galaxy sucks in everything from the sides making a big circle around it i hope this little explonation explained it to u
i gave you a thumbs up, but only because it isn't fair other ppl gave you a thumbs down. the 2 options are that we will be thrown inwards, or outwards. that is, if Andromeda and the Milky way. both of those options don't mean immediate death. The milky way is currently swallowing an elliptical mini galaxy (mini on cosmic scales)did anybody notice?
Get a load of this: the Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years from earth, 5.8 trillion miles = 1 light year. This would mean that the Andromeda galaxy is approximately 14,500,000,000,000,000,000 miles from earth!! FYI - the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second...in order to get to Andromeda you would have to travel at 186,000 miles per second for 2.5 million years to get there....crazy!!!
Our galaxy has more than 400 billion stars, is more than 100,000 lightyears and more than a thousand lightyears at it's thinest piont. The Andromeda galaxy is more than 2.5 million lightyears away and is more than 1 1/2 times the size of the Milky Way.
Hey thats nice for a game, but it's just rather flat with a picture on both sides. At least simulate some actual clouds of dust. Not realistic at all. Lame..
We are at the edge of our galaxy, hence why things like Chandra and Hubble can see into the galaxy.
THey can't see into the very centre by normal means as all the matter and dust blocks view but they assume they know what's there via Radar and infra-red.
I think the problem with science is, they can come up with equations to prove anything and if enough people believe it, suddenly it's gospel. Doesn't mean it's the truth.
I can agree with ya. All the bigwig scientists get together and vote on which "theory" best explains things, such as the origin of the universe. No matter what they deem acceptable, things are what they are and sometimes there's just no way for mankinds feeble mind to explain or even understand everything. It just is what it is.
That belief can only be held by someone who doesn't understand how science works. If it really worked the way you say, do you think you'd even be able to watch this, or type and send your message on technology developed by the same scientific method? Think about it.
Exactly, science works by proposing a theory and then throwing everything at it to disprove it. Bigwigs don't 'vote' on a theory, a theory gets accepted by withstanding the test of time and experimentation.
PS u'll find the only gospel taken as truth when enough people believe it is called religion.
I don't 'believe' a black hole exist or not, but it's the best explanation for certain phenomenas, given our current understanding.
I think it exists, but I always wonder how they get the pictures of Milky Way, from MILKY WAY! I think it's just weird. But i guess the technique nowadays is so complex that we are able to look at things in this perspective..
it exists cos u can see the centre of it with the naked eye u just need the cordinates for it and y would they go in so much detail just to trick us they dont get anyhing in return

1. No we wont collide with anything
2. The sun wont burn out by the time this happens
but we will probably be long gone to another solar system way better than this one =)
maybe there's one where there's like 5 earth like planets in one system...how cool would that be...

No they don't.
If there were several galaxies colliding at once, then yes, but like I said, the distance between stars and planets are so vast.
Yet stars can still pas close and disturb the orbits of celestial bodies like comets and planets.
