Cosmic collisions don’t enjoy a particularly good reputation. Whether it’s planets colliding, galaxies crashing, or even entire universes clashing: the consequences are always dramatic and usually disastrous. But destruction isn’t the only effect collisions have. They are also at the beginning of everything, without them there wouldn’t be any light on Earth.

Join Florian Freistetter on a tour of the universe! Observe from a safe distance as everything that can possibly crash in the universe crashes! You will experience all sorts of different collisions, from asteroid impacts to entire universes colliding with each other, and realize that there is a lot we owe to cosmic catastrophes. Because after all, the world is not going to end that easily.
