Dr. Phil, I have seen a credible argument that radiative frequency pollution from vaccine production has partially prevented the galaxy from naturally correcting its course, contributing to the collision problem the so-called experts are pretending to address. Apparently, this was allowed because it would cause solar system warming which could be passed off on carbon dioxide, and also because of a mistaken belief that the fine tuning of the galaxy was not intelligently designed but evolved, and therefore it would not be a problem because of natural selection. Once again, we see the Butterfly Effect of mankind’s tampering with the system God or whatever higher power you accept has created. It might seem like something out of a fantastic novel, but apparently it’s all true. Until our paradigm shifts, we’re essentially “flying blind” in the belief that Mother Nature does not know best, or that scientists know more than the contents of their labs. Keep in mind that what you, an astronomer, see of the great, wonderful universe is literally a reflection and often a computer comes between you and what you are “seeing.”

Eh, she’s a bit plain for a redhead. Semi-interesting personality though.

Phil: You think it was *your* book she read to get her astronomy? No. I think it was *my* book.

The 3 billion year figure for the Andromeda/Milky Way merger is based on one possible set of the transverse velocities. The radial velocities show Andromeda moving toward us but we don’t know the transverse velocity part of its motion to distinguish between two galaxies orbiting each other in elliptical orbits from those on a collision course.

John Dubinski created some of the simulations used in the Spitzer/Felicia Day video and he gives the 3 billion year figure on his page about the Andromeda/Milky Way merger at http://www.galaxydynamics.org/tflops.html
That page includes a simulation of what the merger will look like from the Earth’s vantage point. Cool spacey music too. (Also see his article in the October 2006 Sky + Tel)

Oh my. That was a great video. Who’ll join me in voting Felicia as empress of the Earth?

Yes. That video is rather crush-inducing. And it makes even more sense once you’ve watched The Guild.
