QUESTION: From: jchardy area929@msn.com, Seabeck, WA Evidence of the red shift indicates that all large (galactic) components are "uniformly" accelerating away from "us" (our galaxy) in a manner directly proportional to their "distance" from us. If this is so and: IF: --the inflationary model of expansion of the Universe is true AND IF: --the universe is flat as currently proposed THEN HOW DO WE ACCOUNT FOR: --the evidence that numerous galactic collisions have, are or imminently will occur (including that of the collision of the Andromeda with our own Milky Way)??
