Yes. As do all solar bodies, including our sun. Our galaxy, like most galaxies, is in a constant state of motion. The solar bodies within it are also moving about. Galaxies within the universe are all moving about and colliding, mingling, and uniting also.

The unviverse is not static. It is in constant motion that is most noticable over millions of years; just as evolution of species on Earth is observed.

Fyron knows everything but he won't admit it.

Does that count?

Re: OT: Study Reveals Flaw in Black-Hole Theory
 

Colliding, not really. More merging. I read somewhere (not sure where) that when the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies merge, there should be something like 4 actual collisions between stellar objects http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif After all, galaxies are mostly just space, which is just...space. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Strangely enough, people are mostly empty space to.

Re: OT: Study Reveals Flaw in Black-Hole Theory
 

If you goto the atomic scale, then yes most everything is empty space.

I always found it interesting that there is an 'infinite' amount of space between any 2 particles. .01m,.001,.0000001,.0000000000000000000001 and so on

The "mass media" collectively aren't a very good source for science information. It's quite well-known that the more you personally understand about a topic, the more flawed any news reporting on that subject is going to look to you. I'm a conservative, and I still consider Fox News an embarassment to both journalism and conservatism.

That is anything but infinite, AegisX.

Just because there are an infinite number of points on a line dosen't mean anything about distances.

Re: OT: Study Reveals Flaw in Black-Hole Theory
 

What, if anything, would be considered an opposite of a black hole? If gravity is so powerful that it can even bend light, then how could it be countered? Anti-Gravity? Just curious about this, if something like anti-gravity could be created, and when it comes into contact with gravity, say that of a black hole, what kind of energy do you think it would produce? Could it produce anti-matter? Could any energy, if any is created at all, be harvested and used for our benefit?

And what about artificial gravity? We know we can simulate gravity with centrifugal force, but that really isn't a practical means by any definition for the kind of gravity we would need to have if we are ever to honestly try and explore the stars.

Maybe it is just a math property? You can keep halving the distance.
