I have a hard time believing that two galaxies colliding would mean much of anything "violent".

It's like 99.99999% empty space colliding.

>>108970
Like an atom, galaxies are definitely made up mostly of empty space just as you said.

The interesting part comes from the effects of gravity the parts of each galaxy have on each other.

The galactic cores, for example, might start orbiting each other like an unimaginably-large binary system. This would probably consume many stars in both galaxies, create many starts from all the gases and interstellar materials involved, and fling many other stars out into the space between galaxies.

I think this one's SCIENCE.

Space is so scary man. Whats even scarier is whats going to happen to the universe in the future.

Black Hole Era

The Black Hole Era is defined as "40 < n < 100". In this era, according to the book, organized matter will remain only in the form of black holes. Black holes themselves slowly "evaporate" away the matter contained in them, by the quantum mechanical process of Hawking radiation. By the end of this era, only extremely low-energy photons, electrons, positrons, and neutrinos will remain.
Dark Era

The Dark Era is defined as "n > 101". By this era, with only very diffuse matter remaining, activity in the universe will have tailed off dramatically, with very low energy levels and very large time scales. Electrons and positrons drifting through space will encounter one another and occasionally form positronium atoms. These structures are unstable, however, and their constituent particles must eventually annihilate. Other low-level annihilation events will also take place, albeit very slowly.

SCARYYYYYYYYYYYYY

this is the doppler effect
an ambulance coming towards you will sound higher than an ambulance going away from you
the middle of the circles, the ambulance
which provides the sound, the circles
and how the observer, the white line, would observe them
in this case the ambulance doesn't move but the observer, wich makes it a little different
but it still shows that when you're in front of the ambulance, before you pass it, the waves are closer together than when you're moving away from it, ergo shorter wavelengths in front of it, higher sound
longer wavelengths behind it, lower sound

the same can be seen with starsystems, a blue light has a shorter wavelength than a red light, the doppler effect can show us which starsystems are moving away less quickly, since it would have shorter wavelengths than a very fast starsystem, which would be more red since it would have longer wavelengths so seem more red to our point of view

It's an aircraft flying into a sheet of smoke designed to show wingtip vortices as they occur.

Wingtip vortices are caused by the high-pressure areas below the wing and low-pressure areas above the wing meeting up at the wingtips, causing these vortices to form. Notice how they go "bottom to top".

In practical applications, wingtip vortices cause increased drag force for the aircraft, leading to slightly more inefficient flight. Recently, new aircraft have "winglets" or little protrusions at the wingtips to minimize wingtip vortices as much as possible.

Wingtip vortex sizes and longevity are proportional to aircraft weight (and therefore the forces generated by the wings needed to maintain aircraft lift) and can remain stable for up to 10 minutes on calm days for the heaviest aircraft, with A380s having wingtip vortices that can remain stable up to 10 minutes, while 737s have wingtip vortices that remain stable for up to 4 or 5. They can also drift around depending on the wind, and can drift over to parallel runways or onto the originating runway itself. This is dangerous to all aircraft, and there is legally mandated separation between takeoffs and landings to avoid wingtip vortex effects, the times varying between 3 to 12 minutes depending on the aircraft size mismatch. If a light general aviation aircraft flies into an A380's wingtip vortices, it can be flipped around within the space of a second, leading to an unrecoverable crash state.

Of course, life in the universe will have died out completely thousands of duodecillions (trufax) of years before then, that is to say a few tens of trillions of years from now. The energy and material left over from old stars won't be enough to form new ones, and once you've run out of stars, you're fucked in every way a living being can *be* fucked.

Oh, and fun fact: A tenth of a trillion (100 billion) years from now, the spaces between galactic clusters will have grown so large that nothing outside the Local Group will be visible. Meaning every other galaxy will have passed beyond the Light Horizon of the observable universe, which, for all practical purposes, IS the universe itself. Any species of sapients left at that point will look outside their galaxy, and find themselves completely, utterly, cosmically alone.

Meisser Effect. When an electric current flows through metal, it generates a small magnetic field. With a super-conductive metal, the same magnetic fields are formed, but because it is super-conductive and has no resistance; these fields last indefinitely.

In the gif, a cooled super-conductor is placed above some magnets. The two magnetic fields interact and repel each other which makes the super-conductor 'levitate' above the magnets.

Fun fact, it is also why eagles and vultures tend to have slotted pinfeathers. Prevents the formation of large wingtip vortices, which reduces drag and therefore allows them to fly slower without stalling. Good for loitering at altitude while searching for prey.

That's not how black holes work, they just have a gravitational pull like any other celestial object. It'd be the same if we got "sucked up" by a star or whatever other big mass is out there. Nothing would change, you don't just get automatically sucked up into black holes.

>That's not how black holes work, they just have a gravitational pull like any other celestial object. It'd be the same if we got "sucked up" by a star or whatever other big mass is out there.

In fact, it actually depends on what type of black hole are you talking about. In order to be indistinguishable from any other cellestial object (from a gravitational standpoint), tt has to be a spherically symmetric solution to the Einstein's field equations.
