I think they are still a bit befuddled.

According to the OP, our galaxy is the Sagittarius galaxy, which on collision with the Milky Way has left us ensnared in one of the spirals of it.

So we're the Sagittariuns.. Invading the larger and cannibal milky way galaxy!

Pity I wont get anyone to believe me tho.. I like the idea.. Good thread Zman...

Absolutely nothing in our lifetime, but I'm only guessing. It seems to be having somewhat of an effect on our solar system (particularly the distant planets) if I have read zorgons post correctly.

It's those poor Saggitariuns I feel sorry for Although I am left wondering if they taste as good as the real thing...



I think you are being presumptuous saying "absolutely nothing"... but then say "it is having an affect on our solar system's outer planets". If the info is correct (and who REALLY knows for sure?) the outer planet's poles are shifting possibly due to the interaction between galaxies...

I don't think its too far of a reach to expect that something like that might also happen to our little planet. After all, consider the insignificant distance between Earth and Pluto as compared with a radial arm of the Milky Way.

Zorgon, thank you for once again providing us with your superbly written, well researched and thoroughly fascinating, informative posts. Here's something for us to marvel at and ponder over!

Hats off to you for taking the time and effort to share this with us. It's the work of people like yourself that really shows the more positive side of ATS.

Best regards,

That was incredible, only got to really check it out minorly, but the concept generally is literally, beyond incredible.

S & F sir, that is what you deserve.

I agree.

Fantastic post and thanks for posting Zorgon (S&F from me) but surely this belongs in the Space Exploration forum rather than Aliens and UFOs?

The milky way is on a collision course with Andromeda in a few billion years.


Apparently we're still not sure on this, we may just be in for a "near miss":
Andromeda–Milky Way collision on Wikipedia

Of course "we" (the human species I mean) are unlikely to be around in 3 billion years to witness anyway however I wonder what the resulting galaxy would look like if such a collision were to take place? A spiral like Andromeda? A barred spiral like the Milky Way? Or perhaps an elliptical or lenticular galaxy?

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"


Or, maybe not.

Is it silly just because you think it is, or is it silly because you believe the math to be wrong? One is valid as an opinion, the other has no value at all .

what does this mean for us?
plenty.

It means that we as humans know nothing about the universe we "exist" in, it means that we drown in half empty glasses of water most of the time, and that all of our problems and misery are worth a grain of salt if put in proportion of what really seems to be going on.

Galactic collisions on the flows of the universe, the quantity of energy being transformed and expanded goes beyond everything we can consider with our human senses, and sense expanding equipment.

It means that we are nothing and that whenever chaos wants to wipe us out, it wont ask for permission.

It means that God is just god, a force of nature, an impersonal force of nature that cannot be argued with, cannot be reasoned with, cannot be truly comprehended, thus, praying and asking for protection or forgiveness is just a pale human creation, opaqued by the true light of the material universe we live in.
Imagine we have been lucky, but how many planets and races and beliefs have already vanished in the fractal whim of existence.

We can argue all we like on the nature of comprehension, but if we really did understand what is going on, many would simply just stop operating in their reality sphere, the real world being simply too much to handle.

It makes me laugh what have some commented on this fine thread, "people will not believe me", "what does it mean?" , "it will be millions of years before we feel it"
Ignorance is bliss, truth is no one knows if we will be here any longer, no one has life bought, we could all just have a heart attack during the night.

Now don't get me wrong, this knowledge can indeed change our lives, if we have been on the brink of destruction and annihilation since we can remember, then for me it has a liberating energy, I can worry less about things I lack and start living each day as if it counted for something, I can start giving out all I have held, thinki9ng it was mine forever, I can take this knowledge and make me give it all, because in the end, my life and the life of everyone else in the world is subject to changes beyong human proportion, lets not hold back, lets live life as if we meant it.

Lets give us the chance of braking the shell in which we live in, and look at existence the way it really is, sure its scary, we have no control, but we never have had any control at all, just the illusion, just the perception, just an idea.
Galaxies colliding are not ideal, in ways they are even more real than all of our lives put together, but, in ways its all the same, who can say that a broken heart does not feel like the death of a star.

Great info Z.
