omg you both fail.
"Hubble is a camera, and it takes billions of years to fully capture."
Really? Wow, guess we'll be having to wait until the year 1,000,001,995 or so for the first images to be done then.
"that since that would be more than one lightyear away you would have to wait like one year for every motion."
Fail. Things don't move, wait for some light to travel the whole distance then the next bit of light goes off. It's a constant thing.

I guess everyone fails since the images captured are REAL galaxies colliding, however the pictures are of different galaxies at different stages of colliding, and the animation helps to bring it together.
True, but when ... ( 1 week ago by Baklavian)
True, but when someone says "I wonder what will happen when the black holes in the center of those galaxies collide" its just ridiculous, its only a theory that they believe there is a black hole because of the bulge. Its just intense gravity from the clump of bodies, OR a black hole. More likely its a clump of bodies that generate high amounts of gravity, because if it were a black hole the galaxies would be shrinking instead of expanding.
I think there is a ... ( 1 week ago by Radjehuty)
I think there is a fundamental confound on our points in this conversation. Just to clarify for myself, when you say "Black Hole" as from the vantage point of the ones who believe in this theory, are you saying they think it actually is a physical HOLE? Also, don't forget to take in to account that the event horizon is the point at which things can't escape and it doesn't extend the entire galaxy. If it's spinning fast enough, it should stay stable.
Don't forget about Dark matter also.
But to help your ... ( 1 week ago by Radjehuty)
But to help your point, I do believe that Physics is going from a hard science and morphing in to philosophy a bit.
But to say something is invalid simply because it is "JUST" a Theory shows the misconception of what a theory actually is.
The existence of black holes is NOT a hypothesis. There is quite enough evidence to elevate it to Theory.
Perhaps its the english word "Hole" that is misleading. I'd say its just a lot of crap in which not even light can pass near it (Hence Black)
Wow this was an ... ( 1 week ago by Liquidemblem)
Wow this was an amazing capture. To bad it's not real :/
Yes i know its not ... ( 6 days ago by Baklavian)
Yes i know its not really a hole, it is a clump of matter, just looks like a hole because its all clumped up, with no light to radiate it.
But i see your point describing the whole theory-hypothesis statement. But when a black hole absorbs matter, doesn't it increase in size, thus making the event horizon bigger? Or, if not, the gravity & event horizon becomes stronger & bigger due to the significant increase in mass of the hole?
That is a good ... ( 6 days ago by Radjehuty)
That is a good question, and not a question I am qualified to answer. It would make sense that the more matter it "consumes" the larger it becomes. I would also think that the faster an object spins around it the slower it actually goes towards the black hole and stays in orbit.
I wouldn't know though as I'm not an astrophysicist. All I do know is that it is apparently a well known theory and widely accepted that galaxies have black holes in them.
It is real. The ... ( 5 days ago by r1swedie)
It is real. The first bit is a simulation, then a real picture of galaxies in the same event. It shows how accurate the simulations really are. Science is getting more and more accurate these days. It's great!

Hey, this is pretty cool.
Remember, galaxies are huge and the collision would take a long time... If you were living on a planet in a colliding galaxy, you would live your whole life and you wouldn't see anything changing.

Actually I might be wrong, I guess you would see changes in the position of individual stars. But the stars are very far apart and it wouldn't be much of a threat to you.

actually if this was to happen to our milkyway galaxy with another galaxy, probably we will see some changes and even maybe have some threats like comets, asteroids, and meteorites. lets say jupiter will collide with another planet of the other galaxy, since jupiter has a major part of the asteroids belt all of'em will shattered going in all directions...and one or even thousandths will hit earth.

If that happen , we will be death by within 10 minutes.
