Supposing no quantum effects, such as virtual particles, yes, they would start moving towards each other.

The reason is gravitation - it won't be particularly strong at this distance, but would still exist.

Q: If there were only two atoms in the universe and they were millions of light years apart would they start moving towards one another and if they they do how did atom A know that atom B was there?

Why is it that Andromeda is moving rapidly towards your solar system when the universe is meant to be expanding?

The Universe as a whole is expanding but that doesn't mean everything has to be moving apart. Galaxy clusters are moving away from one another, but galaxies, stars, and planets aren't. Gravity still has a strong grip on everything.


Are quasars moving towards Earth at very high velocity?

No. Pretty much everything in the Universe is moving away from pretty much everything else in the Universe. This is because the Universe is expanding.


Why do stars appear to move?

Some stars ARE moving towards us. The Andromeda Galaxy will collide with us in millions of years. The universe is expanding because of the "Big Bang", so almost everything is moving away from us.


How is the universe like rising raisin dough?

Stars and galaxies in the universe are moving away from one another in a manner similar to the way in which raisins in a ball of dough are moving away from one another.


Are galaxies are moving around the centre of universe?

No. They do move away one from another, due to the expansion of the Universe.


The second law of thermodynamics concludes that all things are moving towards.....?

Equilibrium and maximum entropy (for the universe).


How are objects in the universe moving?

While there is some seemingly random movement, in general the objects are moving away from one another. In other words, the Universe is expanding.


How would other galaxies appear to move relative to Earth if the universe were shrinking?

If the Universe was shrinking the galaxies would appear to be moving towards the Earth, and look more blue than they should. This is the opposite to the universe expanding where galaxies would appear to be moving away from the Earth, which we know due to "red shift". Andromeda would be the exception since it's directly moving towards the Milky Way.


What is another word for towards?

Synonyms for the preposition towards could include - approaching, moving, or proceeding.


What is slowly happening to Niagara falls over millions of years?

it is growing bigger and moving back towards lake erie.


Is universe moving towards us or away from us?

Neither. The definition of the 'universe' is: Everything that exists. And since that includes us, we are inside of the universe. The Universe is, however, thought to b expanding, and expanding faster at its outer edge. So the outer edge of the Univere is moving away from us. We, on the other hand, are moving away from the center of th e Universe (wherever that may be) so we are at the same time getting more distant from the center.


What if no distant galaxies showed any redshift or blueshift?

It would mean that the universe was radially static. That is, no galaxy was moving towards or away from the earth. This could happen if everything in the whole universe were moving in the same direction at the same [linear or rotational] velocity.
