Can Galaxies Collide?

The question is, “Can Galaxies Collide?”

I read an article that stated there was a galaxy called 0402+379, 750 million light years away that has two super-massive black holes.

It’s believed they’re going to merge.

When this happens, it could show the course of what will happen in several billion years from now.

For both our galaxy the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy, both with black holes are also set on a collision course.

So, where will this leave Earth?

Could Earth be destroyed or move into a black hole within another galaxy?

Also, what will happen to the Sun, will it follow?

Who knows, fortunately, I won’t be here in a billion years to find out.

But as our planet is continuously abused by air pollution, chemical spraying, fracking and the destruction to our planet’s surface, will Earth even be here to witness it. 

I fear not.

But hey, I’m no Astronomer, what do you think?

Can We Ease Climate Change with Geoengineering?

The question is, “Can We Ease Climate Change with Geoengineering?”

I read an article that stated that a geoengineering experiments been planned.

Scientists want to spray the sky with chemicals to block out the Sun in order to fight climate change.

Now I’m no scientist but I’ve felt the weather change immediately when there was a total eclipse.

The temperature fell as it grew darker and it felt really eerie. Also, I noticed all the animals and bugs were totally silent.

So, if the scientists want to hide the Sun’s rays from Earth, wouldn’t the temperature change on our planet that will then cause a different effect of some kind?

Don’t these scientists realise that the Sun helps our planet to grow by providing warmth and light, so why on earth would they want to destroy it or cause a bigger problem, especially to our health.

It would make more sense to stop man from destroying the planet’s surface rather than destroying mankind from the air?

But hey, I’m no scientist, I’m just a concerned human being.

So, what do you think?

Can We Create A Synthetic Life Form?

The question is, “Can We Create A Synthetic Life Form?”

I read an article about scientists creating a new life form in a lab by altering the DNA.

DNA consist of four letters G = Guanine, T = Thymine, C = Cytosine and A = Adenine, together these create a code that underlies all living things.

However, this has now changed since scientists have expanded the genetic code by introducing synthetic ones.

Although at early stages this could create an entirely new life form.

So, with the creation of this new synthetic biology do you think it will help or hinder mankind?

I believe that for every good that comes out of new science, bad follows too.

For in the future, isn’t it possible that this new creation will make humans extinct.

With this in mind could this have happened before, as we too have an evolutionary missing link between apes and man?

But hey, I’m no Paleontologist, it’s just a theory.

So, what do you think?
