I am thinking the pinwheel of our galaxy will fling it into the galactic void.

[Mr. K]

I have a degree in physics.

Do you really think we know all there is about travel between stars?

It may be impossible with today’s technology, but who knows in the future, FTL travel is theoretically possible.

Besides, I think there is ample evidence that we have already had visitors from other planets. So, it must be possible, if its already happened

[Mr. K]

I think the pinwheel shape means it is being sucked into the center.

an expanding galaxy would have a different shape

Mr. Einstein told me that the speed of light is a constant. He also told me it takes an infinite amount of energy to accelerate the tiniest piece of matter to the speed of light. E=mc²

I’m hosed. Put all my money on the sun going supernova in a billion years.
