So if this event caused a reaction that disrupted an expanding area of the universe, and eventually us in a catastrophic way, then by the time we see it happen, we'll have a billion years left, assuming the disruption is traveling at the speed of light?
No, if the disruption travels at the speed of light, then it will reach us at the same time that we see them collide.

Yea I confused the shite out of myself with my "logic."


Another dumb question. If my scenario was true, what would be the order of events as far as what we observe? Would it all happen simultaneously? Like we see the moon explode at the same time as we'd see the black holes collide, give or take?

Space time fricks me up. Be kind.
