Does your thinking include the fact that many current galaxies appear to be the result of galactic collisions?

There's room in the universe for thousands of galaxies but that doesn't stop them from running into each other. New observations support the idea that galaxies are in constant interaction with each other and that the biggest ones get bigger by engulfing smaller ones.
These observations confirm a long-standing theory about how the universe works in general and sheds light on how things got started in the first place.
"This is the way that everything in the universe was formed," said Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University. "It's a never-ending story of things colliding--small things colliding to make big things, big things colliding to make bigger things. These are the events that shape today's galaxies."
