    AFAIK galaxies don’t collide, they merge. There is usually no collision due to the massive empty spaces inbetween stars.

      I know it’s not a “physical collision”. But the gravity “redesigns” both galaxies and some objects can be accelerated beyond the scape velocity of the galaxies combined.
