The Wobble Effect
A theory on why galaxies collide.
The universe is a vast continuos space of “IS”. We are starting to accept that there is much to explore. We Humans have a lot ahead of us and to be honest its about time we kicked started a huge world-wide space programme. The only thing holding us back is ourselves. We are here to explore, it’s in our nature.
Anyway, back to a theory I thought up. Galaxies, stars, and meteorites are moving around space all the time. Some galaxies even collide with one another. Meteorites seem to fly past from a distance we could only dream about reaching. Huge stars burn to an end and collapse in on themselves to create black holes. To go into too much detail will only bore you so I will try and keep this sweet.
There is plenty of action going on out there. Planet Earth is just too far away to see it. “well to us anyway”. I read Steven Hawkings ‘A brief history of time’. A great book I must say. But in the carefully constructed pages he explained that:
In space everything is moving away from everything else. This would suggest the universe is expanding. Plausible! It makes a lot of sense. But if this was true, why do galaxies collide into each other?
When the brain decides to sharpen up those electric pulsating fusions of creative connections. Some obvious solutions can arise. Example:
The attraction of gravity attracts them together.
One galaxy is denser than the other causing attraction.
Something to do with magnetic fields.
One galaxy is moving quicker than the other.
The list goes on.
See, galaxies are huge and within them are millions of solar systems. We live on one solar system within our galaxy called the Milky Way. If you look at images from the Hubble Telescope (www.space.com) it shows us there are billions of galaxies out there in space. “Hold that thought for a moment” Are we the only living species in space?
A spiral galaxy called the pinwheel. This is 27 million light years away from Earth.

When a star comes to its end they can do a few things. First they explode and throw out a huge amount of material. They become very bright. Then the inner core implodes due to the effect of gravity making a neutron star. Some larger stars create black holes due to gravity not being able to control the implosion.
The remains of a dead star. This is known to astronomers as a Nebula.

Now this explosion is huge. There is a lot of energy moving away from that reaction.
This effect would happen on a 3 dimensional scale. If you can imagine an explosion in 3D it would be like watching a huge ball of energy expanding. A more practical way of seeing this would be to throw a stone in a pound. This would cause a ripple effect.
Now try and imagine this effect in Space -Time. The scale is massive. That energy created would move away at a considerable rate, wobbling distant solid material to a possible new direction. Because space is so vast, to us this wobbling process would take thousands of years.
A ripple effect in water:

Once these ripples of energy collided with another galaxy. It would cause the galaxy to wobble over the waves. This wobble effect could change the course of a galaxy or a neighboring galaxy. Thus forcing them on a path of collision.
This can been seen by doing a very simple experiment. Next time you’re in the bath. Add some bubble bath foam. Once the bath is half full. Move a small patch of bubbles to one side of the bath and another small patch halve way down. Now drop a stone or something that would sink in the middle of the gap between each patch. Watch the two patches of bubbles (representing galaxies) wobble over the waves and come together.
This theory shows that a star must explode between two possible galaxies moving away from each other. The star is almost at the centre of a possible circumference in space. The energy from the exploding star brings back the opposing galaxies.
Hey presto!
The wobble theory is born.
Two galaxies colliding.
