How is this possible you may ask?
Being that all the physicists believe that "All galaxies are moving away" how could they possibly collide you may wonder??
These events lead me to believe the red shift theory is bunk.
Galaxies move in all sorts of directions, apparently.
In the future, interaction between the member galaxies and with the cosmic neighborhood will continue to change the Local Group. Some astronomers speculate that the two large spirals, our Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, may perhaps collide and merge in some distant future, to form a giant elliptical (see a summary of a possible scenario). In addition, there is evidence that our nearest big cluster of galaxies, the Virgo Cluster, will probably stop our cosmological recession away from it, accelerate the Local Group toward itself so that it will finally fall and merge into this huge cluster of galaxies, see our Virgo Cluster & Local Group page.

How is this possible if all galaxies are moving "apart" and "expanding the boundaries of the universe"??
IMO It cannot. Therefore expansion universe theory fails to explain this.

jimmyx do not Galaxies rotate like planets, maybe it's a dumb question, if they collide do they spin into each other?

because of dark matter and dark energy influence, the galaxies do not expand out in a straight line.

So basically because of something you know nothing of, nor can prove in any way at all.
This is why I consider modern "physics" as little more than voodoo mumbo jumbo.
Just admit it. We humans have NO idea how the universe works or operates. We cannot even look at it correctly to observe it.
Just admit it. We do not have the mental capacity to fathom the workings of this vast Universe we find ourselves in.
Dark energy. Why not just call it "God's Magic Wand"?
Seriously. Lets be reasonable here. I thought physicists dealt with facts not fantasies or delusions. I guess we do not have very many "real" physicists yet.

why dont we admit that you dont get it?
some of us can understand a little bit, and if you actually read some papers you might too.
there are plenty of places for beginners to physics as well as (not as an insult) children's videos on subjects such as quantum physics (dr quantum is a good one on youtube).
i have on many occasions while trying to break things into layman's terms for friends explained that science could actually prove the existence of god.
and yes something that isnt directly touchable in the universe is hard to grasp, yet you can SEE dark energy. not directly, yet like looking through a pool of water, you see ripples, and see its effect on the whole. in fact we have a map of it.

i wouldnt say someone just made that up.... can you?
as to your assumptions that it is all just whoo hah and made up, then i really suggest delving in a little deeper rather than casually discrediting everything as nonsense.
we do have a basic idea of how it works. everyday new advances are made.
no longer are the days where people can definitively declare THE EARTH IS FLAT, not because it isn't (which it isn't), but because something new is coming out that challenges all aspects from before it.
do us all a favor, and keep learning, instead of insulting.
on the whole, we do know very little (like what is beyond the universal horizon) but dont discredit everything just because of that
edit: also if you thought physics was all concrete hard facts, then you havent really been watching physics news at all, especially the theoretical physics section. its all whoo hah to those who like concrete facts.
just sayin
