It was will be called...Milkdromeda.

Dubious naming schemes aside, this is kinda crazy. It won't happen for billions of years, but...entire galaxies colliding. I'm not sure exactly what this will mean for the galaxies, though, however it's unlikely that many actual stars will collide. It could be fine, assuming human life still exists billions of years into the future.

The Milky Way most likely collided with smaller galaxies when it grew.

If everything came from one big bang. How are we smashing into other galaxies? Damn it, Science did you lie to me?

Its weird to think nothing will collide but were used to imagining galaxies as little splashes of solid light on a picture and not just a ton of empty space with the occasional speck of dust.

Short explanation: Orbits and gravity, same as how any objects in space collide.

Also, it's extremely unlikely there will be humans as we know them around by the time Milky Way and Andromeda collide, because over a span of that much time, humanity will either:
1. Go extinct
2. Evolve into some other form of life/intelligence that is indistinguishable from humans.
