Who Will Survive the Cosmic Crash Between Our Galaxy and Its Neighbor?

Our galaxy , the Milky way, is on a collision course with its neighbor Andromeda. Although the collision will date place about 4 billion years from now,astronomers have long placed bets on which of the two star systems is more likely two survive the mega crush. Until recently, Andromeda, currently roughly 2.5 million light years away from the rulky way was the clear favorite.But a new study suggests the out come of the cosmic smashup might be closer to a tie. I am thinking about the galaxy system.
