Not so bad when you consider how vast the distances are, that in general, everything else is moving in the same direction we are, and that even when galaxies collide, the distance between passing stars (and their planets) is huge. Same with catastrophic stellar events. The vast time and distance involved means that even over tens or even hundreds of thousands of years, we are pretty safe on a galactic scale. Heck, we only live for a few "galactic seconds". Threats within our solar system are much more dangerous, including a major solar event, but even that is unlikely in a human time scale. It is only man's own arrogance that causes us to think the world will end in our time. We are, after all, the center of the universe.
True and well stated, even downtown LA everyone is traveling on the freeway at the same speed. But, I am fortunate to have some very prominent physicists in my circle. “Don’t tell humanity what a train wreck we really are” is the common consensus. lol
I’m good myself, Yippee Ki Yay! Hope I can watch it happen and not asleep when it does. I’m just along for the ride while it lasts... lol
