    The important question to me is: will my car insurance premium go up because of coverage against this kind of collision?

    Dammit. I hate it when the Crazy Paranoid Lady I met has scientific proof to back up her claims, that our galaxy is being molested by dark matter/black hole and that's why life theoretically sucks on Earth. We can't do anything about it, life isn't supposed to be all contradictory and unfair and miserable, but it is because we're sucking towards the other galaxy's core, and that's why our economy went in the pooper.

    That is a very glass-is-half-full headline. The real news here is that we are about to crush another galaxy.

    If galaxies can collide with one another with (generally) no ill effects, how come I can't run through a wall as in MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS?

    People, the collision is not the issue here. Clearly, we are 1/5 of a greater Voltron galaxy and we are 'forming up'. The real concern here is who are we fighting!

    With the universe as big as it is, you'd think all those other galaxies could stay in their own lanes. And don't get me started on the ones that merge without signaling...
