Silver, I have this rather whimsical belief that galaxies are living beings just as we are. The galaxy is the body of the Being. And just as OUR bodies are full of other consciousnesses (our cells as well as the myriad flora and fauna that reside in and on our bodies) just so the galaxies are teeming with life which makes up the greater body of the being. So given all that… I have to say I was very slightly distressed to discover that it does happen that galaxies collide as in this article. But then reading further gave me some comfort. It seems such collisions may in fact serve a purpose in allowing small galaxies to grow and liming the growth of the largest galaxies.
Phew! All is well. I hope the collisions aren’t painful? 🙂
