Now I know for a fact the Scientists have got this wrong ..

Least of Earth's problems. The distance between stars is so great that the collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda will be about them passing through each other then halting by gravity and merging. The probably of actual collisions, particularly on an outer spiral arm is very remote. There is a bigger risk of the Sun and its planets being ejected from the galaxy.

Either way, that event is still more than four billion years away. By then the Sun will be at the end of its life and swelling into a Red Giant if it hasn't already collapsed into a White Dwarf after engulfing Earth and charring it to a rocky crisp.

Long before then the Sun's power will have increased so much that all the water on Earth will have boiled away. This will happen within a billion years with life as we know it already long gone perhaps leaving only some kind of thermophile organisms if anything.

We would likely experience another large meteor impact on the scale of the C-T boundary Chixulub Event long before then if we don't manage to destroy ourselves even sooner.

Its sad to think this side of the universe will one day be dark. We better be off this rock by then.

It looks like scientists are playing around with statistics again. Of course there is no way (currently) of proving their findings.

Again, I point to the famous short story by Isaac Asimov, titled "The Last Question." You can Google it to find videos of people reading it. You might find a copy online that you can read. If you wonder about the end of the universe, this particular short story will tickle your fancy.
