<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:">Not really. Galaxies are such diaphanous objects that two galaxies can pass right through each other with a high likelihood of zero actual stellar collisions. Of course the gravity causes stars to go flying all over the place, but that might be a good thing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:">For a long time I hoped the universe might be closed by the mass of individual stars that went flying into intergalactic space from early interactions of galaxies, individual stars that we had no means to detect. So Perlmutter’s accelerating inflation idea was very disappointing.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">In the case of the eternal inflation we should consider this very seriously. Building a hyper-massive black hole here.</div>

<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">It is a small probability for that, but not entirely impossible. In the case of an artificial attractor detected, it would maybe be the best strategy to go there. With the local Virgo-Coma supercluster, of course.<br>
