I know, I was just acting dumb

[mcastro1964]

where's the audio?

[NtropyPyroductions]

@mcastro1964 What audio?

[laxplyr1982]

@mcastro1964 no sound in space

Galactic Collision Simulation

[CypherDxvz]

In actuality, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way will collide in about a billion years. It's not going to kill us because the estimated amount of stellar collisions will be... 6.

[boggy2411]

correction... 2, maybe 3, but not 6. That's a big number...

[jerommeke69]

lol 2 and 6 is a minimal difference, how can you be that sure? maybe it's 6...

[boggy2411]

gravity is powerful enough to make big objects not slam in themselves as if there were dorks... Gravity has it's respect... have you ever heard of two objects in void that would simply slam in themselves like rockets? No, physics work more complex then that. Stars rarely hit themselves without a certain "third" object with bigger mass pulling the strings... for instance, Earth got hit by asteroid because the Sun pulled the asteroid into collision course. The Sun was the "third" object.

[jerommeke69]

yes I know all of that. I'm just saying you can't know it's silly to correct his "6" to "2" because there's only a small difference. the collisions between stars are only due to coincidence so there could very well be 6 collisions.

but OK, maybe there's more chance to have 2 or 3 collisions, it's possible. I just thought it was silly to correct him because this third object is only there because of a coincidence

If this happens we will die? No shit!!!

I doubt we humans will even exist, or if so, perhapse in another dimenson, perhapse the 4th. Who knows. But I do know that by then we'll have easily grasped the technology to fold space, and more. So worries,everyone.

[pasrachilli]

In the 4th? Meaning...?

[AliceStrawberry1337]

4th would be time, so time travel. might be easier to invent terraforming and just migrate? o.o

[pasrachilli]

I know you mean time, but I don't think he's using it that way.

[AliceStrawberry1337]

the dimensions of bending space? o.o at any rate the process of that collision is so slow we'd be relatively save unless the galactic cores coliseum... which outcome can't be calculated

[1Cooperfan]

if this does happen we will die.

[BloorigardEtcetera]

Actually these collisions take billions of years to happen, and when they do collide, their stars are soooo far apart that it's incredibly unlikely for any of the stars to collide. so even though the Milky Way galaxy is in the middle of the a collision, don't worry, we're not going to die.

[AliceStrawberry1337]

unless the cores hit... that could end up gnarly

[antiquark12]

a "cosmic train crash".
