Galactic Collision Simulation

Animation depicts the wrenching processes unleashed when two galaxies collide. This animation is a rendering of a data simulation that astronomers use to study interacting and colliding galaxies.

I know, I was just acting dumb

[laxplyr1982]

@mcastro1964 no sound in space

@mcastro1964 What audio?

[mcastro1964]

where's the audio?

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

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.

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

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

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