The 500 million to 1 billion time span for the Sun's heating is far shorter than I've heard before.

[@lethargogpeterson4083]

I think the sun is slowly getting hotter even while it is on the main sequence. So this prediction is for the effects of that long before the sun becomes a red giant, whichnis still maybe 5 or 6 billion years away.

[@axle.student]

Estimates are approximately 8 billion years before the red giant sun will expand enough to engulf/consume Earth. Earth will be way too hot and uninhabitable a long time before that. So that is a reasonable estimate. It's not a long time away when you consider the geological time period of life on this rock. Unfortunately we live on a dying planet. This is why I am an advocate of humans becoming space faring as soon as possible so we have time to adapt to living in a space environment. All this stop using energy to save to planet is the wrong direction for our species. It will trap us here and send us the way of the dinosaurs :(

[@mikemccormac9368]

But how can galaxies maintain their apparent coherence, locked, by gravitational forces, when another 'system' just happens to fly by or actually intermingle. Computer models show the systems just flying apart. Why don't the forces that created and maintained the great symmetrical forms we see throughout the universe simply reestablish themselves?? Am I simply misunderstanding the sheer scale of both time and dimensions involved.

[@Yinzermakesvids]

Because the simulations are based on human ideas and probably not the actual reality

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

There's a lot of goofy simulations out there. The real players with super computers that are capable of calculating gravity with the distances involved, don't show anything flying apart. Keep in mind how quickly gravity loses its effect with distance.

[@mennovanlavieren3885]

Some stars scatter around, but by far most mass stays bounded to the galaxies. It is the way they are visualized.

[@abhijaymisra1536]

Wtf are you even asking? You sound like Terrence Howard

[@Skeptical_Numbat]

@mikemccormac9368 It appears that *Dark Matter* does quite a bit more for galaxies than just modulate the dynamics of their rotational velocities. We're only just starting to understand just how much of an effect that the mass of the *Dark Matter Halos* (surrounding most galaxies) has on gravity at the really huge scale of *Galactic Clusters* & really, really humongous scale of *Galactic Superclusters.* These tremendously vast structures *(Superclusters* being composed of about _ten thousand galaxies,_ or so) are constantly moving over time-scales of billions of years, accumulating into the astonishing *Galactic Filaments* which spread out to create the *Cosmic Web* across the entire *Visible Universe* - all under the dominion of gravity (and *Dark Energy/Cosmic Expansion,* of course). Pretty clearly demonstrating that the gravity from the cumulative mass of things like galaxies may reach out far more than you'd intuitively expect... FYI - The largest structure that has ever been identified - at an unimaginable *3 **_Gigaparsecs_* / *9.8 **_Billion_** Light Years* in length - is the *Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall!* (+) (+) - nb: The entire *Observable Universe* is a mere *93 Billion Light Years* in diameter...

[@vileluca]

Wait till you hear about The Great Attractor

[@controlfreak1963]

The universe is expanding in the voids, not in areas under gravitational pull like around galaxies (so far). Gravity can still overcome expansion within a certain strength.

[@DrOtto-sx7cp]

... or Halton Arp.

[@beautimous7347]

It's not really noticeable with gravitationally-bound objects. The expansion only really comes into play between us and the furthest objects away from us. The expansion is in empty space, between objects that do not have a gravitational link. You're not even gonna see it in superclusters.

[@robokill387]

The universe expansion is the space between galaxies expanding in size, not the galaxies actually physically moving apart. Galaxies can still move around regardless of the expansion of empty space, if two galaxies are moving towards each other faster than the rate of expansion of space between them, they'll get closer together. Remember, big bang is all space everywhere expanding in size, not space being thrown out from a cental point like an explosion.

[@stargazer5784]

Two giant spiral galaxies in close proximity can only lead to one eventual conclusion. Maybe not exactly when we originally hypothesized, but yeah, they're gonna crash or tear each other up, sooner or later. Also too, if they're moving toward one another relatively slowly, this greatly increases the likelihood of a collision.

The weather has trillions of things affecting it. Galaxies orders of magnitude more. And at least with weather, we're close enough to it to measure which way the wind is blowing and what the temperature is!

[@antred11]

@@Martial-Mat This isn't an n-body problem. This is essentially a 2-body problem (which is trivially solvable, if you know the masses and initial velocity vectors of both galaxies).
