Get back to me in another billion years, then I'll start to worry...... - mbeast, on 10/11/2007, -5/+52Call Bruce Willis.
Queue up Aerosmith. - orxor, on 10/11/2007, -2/+44GEICO save hundreds on galactic collision insurance.
- MurderMystery, on 10/11/2007, -4/+44http://thefutureofourworld.ytmnd.com/
- spect3r, on 10/11/2007, -6/+41IT'S A TRAP!
- BLish, on 10/11/2007, -7/+38cats and dogs living together! it's mass hysteria!
- SpikeOKC, on 10/11/2007, -3/+29oh good, i could use a change of scenery
- EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Clearly, this is all Iran's doing. We must invade now, to save the solar system!
- WickedDrag0oN, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25*grabs his towel*
- jammerb, on 10/11/2007, -3/+25Our Sun and Earth will be hurled into deep space? kinda sounds like the trip we're already on...
- drewhenson, on 10/11/2007, -4/+25Good thing I'll be dead.
- bovester, on 10/11/2007, -9/+29pics or it's not gonna happen.
- sonicEd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Don't Panic!
- wbeavis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17I was going to set an Outlook appointment for this, but according to MS, time ends sometime on 8/31/4500.
- polyGone, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17I would, totally, ***** up my other dimensional self. He's a little bitch.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15The only thing Fantastic Four is going to save me is $10.
- flaknugget, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15I for one, choose to fight them over there instead of over here.
- bugninja, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15"Good thing I'll be dead"
Are you kidding? What a way to go!!! Riding Earth as it hurls into deep space. Sounds cool. - simpleid, on 10/11/2007, -3/+162 million light-years away.
I think we'll be fine. Within 2 million years we'll just use some space-time tearing device to travel through a schism in reality to a new instance of the universe where everything is fine, then simply destroy the existing human species and take their place. Now that's an interesting dilemma!
I guess one of our versions is screwed no matter what... at least it won't be us since we'll do the 'schism traveling.' :-) - KidVicious, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12"Never again will the night skies be as pretty as they are now."
What about when Andromeda gets close enough to us to appear many times bigger than the moon? I'd say that would probably look incredible. - adenansu, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12the early 1900's called, it wants its news back
- LordBalderdash, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11they can't even say with any certainty what the weather will be next week in NYC but they can absolutely predict a massive galactic event 2 billion years in advance?
should i bring an umbrella? - Otto, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Well, at least the view of the sky will be freakin' spectacular when Andromeda gets close enough.
- PhantomBantam, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Who knew a ytmd could be so cool? Seriously, most entertaining one I've seen.
- betobeto, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Looking into the bright side: In 2 million years, my debts won't matter anymore! OMG I'm so relieved!
/sarcasm - stevensj2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8If people are able to survive that which is called "humanity" for 2 billion years, a minor galactic bump will not faze them.
- 4degrees, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9man, would i love to be around when that happens...
- KennMac, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9"I think we'll be fine. Within 2 million years we'll just use some space-time tearing device to travel through a schism ..."
2 million light years is a measure of distance. Not the number of years we have to worry about this... it's much much longer. - VinceNoir, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Humans won't be around then. Trust me. We'll either have blown ourselves up, evolved to some higher form, or merged with machines in order to survive other more pressing catastrophes.
- bightchee, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Solve the Manbearpig problem first. Worry about galactic collisions later.
- Edrick, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6The Doctor?
- vern01, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6@ polygone,
HAHA, sure, we believe you. Honest. - RockLeePwns, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5OMG ITS ANOTHER GALAXY GET IN THE CAR!
- natdrat00, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'm going to freeze myself for two billion years so I can see this.
- ynggrsshppr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Hell, I'd like to see it.
*grabs the popcorn* - witooo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5First its said:
"Never again will the night skies be as pretty as they are now."
Later, talking about Andromeda:
"But as it nears the Milky Way, its hundreds of billions of stars will stretch from horizon to horizon."
Anyone get my point? - polyGone, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I am, though, and I'm coming for your children. :P
edit: ooops ***** communist...not gay lol - yonah, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4iCal goes to 01.01.3000. Pessimists.
- Conwaysb0718, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3If humans (or what has evolved from humans) aren't referring to the earth as the "home planet, many galaxies away" in 2 billiion years, we have squandered our intellect.
- gyrfalcon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3So this will happen in 2billion years, and our sun has enough fuel to burn for maybe another 5billion? So after it happens it's another 3billion years till the sun goes dark/explodes.
- CedEx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*breathe*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
What's that you say? Two billion years from now? Billion? Oh...
Sorry folks... false alarm! Nothing to see here... move along! - adholden, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3why did the article make such a big deal about how one of the astronomers used to live in San Francisco? Does that make him more credible? I know the article was from the SF Chronicle and all....but it seemed a bit silly to mention that he lived in Nob Hill from 1996-1998. Maybe Nob Hill is known for its astronomers...
- sadatoni, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3This news is two weeks old.
- dclowd9901, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5I predict in 2 billion years, we might have made a little progress in space travel (if we're even still carbon-based life forms by that point).
- Kenzan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Damn it! and I just washed my car, too...
- bsdfree, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3The sun is going to start turning into a red giant in about a billion years, so 2 billion years from now the Earth's oceans would have boiled away and it will be uninhabitable anyway, so who cares!?
- maeon3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2In 2 billion years, humans will be extinct or will have advanced to the point where this is not a problem.
- adgreene, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6They better have insurance.
- directive0, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Even if it was going to happen tomorrow, there is literally ABSOLUTELY nothing the small insignificant creatures that cling to the surface of this speck of planet could do about it!
Perspective, isn't it grand? - Bupsy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Cosmic collision... or noodly appendage?
