Hazzard Posted September 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Milky Way Collides with Andromeda ! In the constellation of Pisces, some 100 million light-years from Earth, two galaxies are seen to collide - providing an eerie insight into the ultimate fate of our own planet when the Milky Way fatally merges with our neighbouring galaxy of Andromeda. http://www.exploreuniverse.com/astrolog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzard Posted September 12, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted September 12, 2005 You are both right,just as sure as the Sun comes up every morning, it is scheduled to die. Experts give it some 7 billion years, when it will turn into a bloated red giant. As the name implies, a red giant is a star swelled to enormous proportions. Earth would be first engulfed in heat and light, then vaporized. Did someone say-sunblock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...7 billion years, destruction of Earth...I'll pencil that in on my day planner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunZero Posted September 12, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) Hmmmm. I have a better chance of crapping out my lungs than living that long.

Charlie_0978 Posted September 13, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Earth would be first engulfed in heat and light, then vaporized. Did someone say-sunblock? 839717[/snapback] that sounds really sad, to imagine our planet being destroyed completly...but i think there will be no humans to see our planet being destroyed by heat, or maybe we will destroy it first....who knows, i gues ill be playing cards with the angels at that time...

atomos Posted September 13, 2005 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Don't worry. The sun will die before that happens so we won't be there to see it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuantumE Posted September 19, 2005 #13 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I can just imagine what the night sky would look like if people were around in the future to see it. The entire sky at night would be crystal blue and white from andromeda and would look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boff Posted September 19, 2005 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Im pretty sure in 7 billion years we will be able to fly around in space and what not...so the sun blowing up is no problem. Unless of course your stuck on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Ed Posted September 20, 2005 #18 Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) I think it is safe bet to say that humans would have colonized other planets in 7 billion years time... Edited November 13, 2005 by Mr Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumE Posted September 20, 2005 #19 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I think it is safe bet to say the humans would have colonized other planets in 7 billion years time... 853198[/snapback] The problem is we would have to colonize other planets in another galaxy, because the milky way would be all messed up. So they would have to travel a LOOOONNNNNGGGGGG time just to even get to the nearest galaxy. If we could travel the speed of light right now and head for andromeda it would take 2 million years just to get there. Unless warping space time is possible then they could get their in 3 hours.

Hazzard Posted September 21, 2005 Author #21 Share Posted September 21, 2005 How about a "worm hole",for a shortcut. New data from the Hubble Space Telescope. Stars race around a black hole at the center of the Andromeda galaxy so fast that they could go the distance from Earth to the Moon in six minutes. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/0509...meda_stars.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ed Posted September 21, 2005 #22 Share Posted September 21, 2005 In 7 billion years I think that we will be able to go another galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted September 21, 2005 #23 Share Posted September 21, 2005 In 6000 years we have gone from living in caves and using stones for tools; to travelling to the moon. I think its a fair guess to say that in 7,000,000,000,000 years we will be able to travel to other galaxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ed Posted September 21, 2005 #24 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumE Posted September 22, 2005 #25 Share Posted September 22, 2005 But the thing is nothing can go beyond the speed of light, it's the universes constant. I doubt humans will have enough resources on a couple of space ships to last a couple million years traveling to the nearest galaxy which is andromeda the closest one and wont be an option of course, but the nearest galaxy after that is like 100 million something light years away. They would have to reproduce and balance it out with the death rate while on voyage or else they would go extinct or overcrowd their ships. Looks like warping space time is the only thing that could save us in that event. I only wish i could be alive then to see the sky at day and night filled with andromedas colors.
