‘forcefully yeeted across space at hypervelocity.’. This about has it all fails to mention the ‘collision’ is billions of years away and we won’t be here

    since there’s so much empty space, not much actually collides. gravity dragged more like it. probably won’t affect the weather on this little speck, just more stars in the sky

      Oh, nothing else in the galaxies may collide, but the SMBHs may eventually kiss after a few million orbits, or one might get shot away to another galaxy far, far away. There is just so much mass in galaxy centers, they should eventually be pulled together bringing the SMBHs within flirting distance.

      I don’t know the chances of them getting locked in orbit around each other in a single galaxy but that would be interesting to see.
