Reissued in HD. Those stately galaxies we've long admired are not exactly what we thought. Phil Plait's amazing book "Death from the Skies" is now available in paperback via Amazon.com.

  • I'll be dead

  • 0:54 you forgot about the main part of a galaxy, the Supermassive black hole in the centre :D

  • LOL :)

  • @SnapShow82 Yup! It is definitely within our reach! We even has some well established theories for faster-then-light travel! Bad thing is, they need a lot of money, and I mean a lot, to even start testing this.

  • @Halflifefan54 Here's to hoping!

  • @SnapShow82 lol we're probably going to be doing interstellar travel in the next 200 years (give or take)

  • Two flies in a football stadium analog is actually way too dense.

  • 2 Billion years till it happens eh? Well 2 billion years is surely enough time for humanity to colonise in other galaxies. Unless we kill eachother off in the mean time.
