Last night I did something I’ve never done before: I sat down on the couch, watched some primetime network TV, and learned something new.
I learned something pretty amazing, actually. In the next billion years or so, our galaxy, the Milky Way, will crash into the Andromeda galaxy. No one will die as a result, but the collision will create a light show that will be beyond epic. I don’t mean epic in the way we use the way we use the word today, when a bus driver punches a passenger. I mean epic in the sense that thousands upon thousands of stars will change their orbits.
