Will the Securities and Exchange commission approve such a merger? Can you say monopoly!?

For something that could be so destructive and violent from a great distance it would look beautiful, all that life, planets, stars getting thrown out into the emptiness between galaxies.

@Necronomichron I believe that's because there's very much void (90%+) in both of the galaxies.. :)

One thing is for sure: mankind will not last that long (5 billion years from now) to witness the collision.
And the collision will occur over billions of years, not overnight.

I would like that if someday in the future, Earth would be in the Andromeda galaxy instead of the Milky Way. lol

Beautiful.

This would make a cool screen saver.

I suppose one could posit a hypothesis that all intelligent beings pass through a risk period of self-extinction where their technology surpasses their biological instincts. I think humans entered that risk period about 1950 with the H-bomb. I think also that we'll be passed that risk in 1000 years ( at least I hope so ).
So, right now and the next few centuries is the make or break time for human civilization and human life. We do live in interesting times.
Stars in Milky Way: 100-400 billion.
Stars in Andromeda: 1000 billion.
Probability of a star collision: <0.00001%.
I hate statistics.

Being flung into the intergalactic void would likely have little impact on life on Earth.
What could be a problem is if the orbit of the Sun is altered such that we swing through the galactic core on the way out.
If we did, it's quite possible that the intense radiation we would encounter there would end life on Earth completely. Of course, that's still 3 billion odd years in the future.
