  • The clock is ticking. We've got to get out of here!

    Obviously, any war should be considered as a waste of time and resources. I mean, watch it again. Does it look like we've got nothing better to do than kill one another? It's the ultimate natural selection of species! Find another galaxy or die.

    Think globally, act locally: Tolerate (or even better, love) your fellow man because you know that the challenges ahead are going to be a pain in the ass.

  • better start doing your situps!

  • Which Galaxy is that??

    TELL ME BEFORE THE SPILLED MILK GALAXY HAS DRINKED!!

  • Haha if that dot was out solar system we'd probably be far enough away to watch it without any major side affects!

  • dark stuff is dark because they don't interact electromagnetically and can't shine. no electric charge. neither creation nor absorption of photons. they interact with matter (photons are a matter) only gravitationally.

  • Don't worry. long before that the aging Sun will cook off the biosphere of the earth.

  • Heh, fair enough.

  • Not necessarily. Evolution is not always forward progressing, but instead is completely random. It's in Natural Selection that we see these traits either kept or weeded out. Just look at Homo Floresiensis as a prime example of this.

  • oops... left out the word "million" :)

  • The worst place to be would be close to the galactic center at the time of the collision, 'cause with all the supernovae, radiation and stellar winds our planet would be cooked!

  • By then evolution (further accelerated by gene technology) would have transformed our species into something quite different

  • Negative. The closest star to earth is about 4 light years away. The Milky Way itself is about 100,000 light years in diameter. Andromeda is roughly 2.5 million light years away from the Earth, although that is always subject to change.
