Here is the REAL end of the world (and galaxy)

[spunkloaf]

To hell with global warming and world war 3; the Earth is eventually going to end anyways, right?  Here's one scenario.
Right now, the Andromeda galaxy is on a head-on course for the Milky Way.  The galaxies are moving towards each other at 400,000 km/h, and in 3 BILLION years scientists say they are probably going to collide.  What does that mean?

Some say that since the stars actually have LOTS of distance between them that very few stars will collide with each other and the two galaxies will eventually settle into a new one.  Others worry about the super massive black holes at the centers of each, and what will happen when they collide.

Here's a video to explain.  Freaky stuff, although it is so far away.

Interesting ... freaky stuff.

In 3B years the human race would have spread from this galaxy in search of more resources to exploit.

A lot can and will happen in 3 billion years. Interesting to know.
