The Collision Of Galaxies Seems To Disprove The Big Bang Theory.
The Big Bang theory postulates that all matter in the universe originated from a single location and was ejected during an explosion. If this is the case, the matter would be following a straight trajectory with greater and greater distances between the matter. The recent pictures in the news of a galaxy colliding with another does not seem possible if this is the case.

You have quiet an intesresting point, my intellectual friend. Black holes are space's enigmas. The topic is extremely unstable due to the fact that there is no current way to "probe" them and see what exactly happens inside of one. However, you make an excellent point with the Big Bang Theory.

Cosmologists are now having huge problems with the very point you raise Bugman. At the heart singularity of the ''BIG BANG THEORY,'' is our old friend the ''BLACH HOLE.'' Now we have absolutely no idea what ''BLACK HOLES,'' are made from, however they are believed to be the quantum core mechanics spinning the whole ''BIG BANG THEORY,'' into existence. The one thing I have against this is: ''BLACK HOLES are called BLACK HOLES simply because no light can come out of them.'' If this is the case, then quantum gravity which gives birth to the whole ''BIG BANG THEORY,'' goes up in a puff of smoke, unless some bright spark can enlighten us?...;-)

Some material, depending on weight or mass, might be going faster than others and might collide and go off in myriad directions, like pool balls, but on a huge scale.

So your theory is full of "pockets".

 No, in the vacuum of space of space, all thingsgenerally travel at the same speed. Even so, with differing speeds, the point is that they are supposedly going out from a central point and therefore are getting farther apart.

It proves that, like me, you don't have a full understanding of the topic. I hope, like me, you have learned something from some well informed people here.

 'Well informed'....about the beginning of the Universe....how silly can you get?

I at least qualified my statements with 'seems/seems'.

I agree with Hizashi.
The supposition is simply not playing with a full deck.

When galaxies pass close to one another, the force of gravity they exert on one another can cause both galaxies to bend out of shape. Both crashes and near misses between galaxies are referred to as "interactions."

You’re wrong on multiple accounts. The Big Bang theory doesn’t postulate that the universe came into existence during an explosion. By definition, an explosion is an event that takes place within a designated volume of space. So, if space began during the expansion of the universe, then the expansion of the universe itself can’t possibly be considered an explosion of any kind. Also, the theory doesn’t even mention the universe’s creation per se. It only speaks of its expansion. On another note, I think you gravely underestimate gravitational strength when concerning massive celestial bodies like galaxies. Galaxies like the Milky Way and Andromeda don’t fly away from each other because they’re gravitationally bound. Gravity has them locked together so to speak. Your notion that they should all be slipping away from one another is based on a false assumption about the universe’s nature. The big bang was an expansion of space, not an explosion of a bomb casting debris everywhere. The space between objects just got larger to put it in layman’s terms.

Perhaps assuming a completely homogenous event without the development of gravity or the strong and weak nuclear forces you could expect matter and energy to not interact after said event. But at least in the case of our little universe this was not how things shook out; whether a few atoms or a couple of galaxies the same principles apply.

Einstein's theory of relativity explains the changes in trajectory because the mass of the various stars and galaxies influence each other.

 I considered that. The only problem with that is that the pull is less and less each passing second. It seems that if they were going to collide, they would have done it sooner. I.E. while they were closer and the pull was greater.
