Simple answer no if the Milky Way did not exist there would be no human race.

We are part of the Milky Way galaxy in the most fundamental ways. We live here. We evolved here. Every element that goes up to make the Earth and you except hydrogen and most of the helium comes from stars that lived and died billions of years ago within the Milky Way. We owe our entire existence to the Milky Way.

It is absolutely probable that life has arisen in far off galaxies. They might even look remarkably like humans although that is very doubtful but still they will not be humans.

If civilization lived on a planet in an E0 galaxy do you think they would have a Milky Way in the sky?

It's doubtful if a civilization could still exist within an elliptical galaxy due to the age of the stars. If they could, then the sky would have a slight red tinge, nothing like the Milky Way.

If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy what would be the diameter of the galaxy in light years?

The diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years. If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk, we would still be within the galaxy's boundaries, so the diameter would remain around 100,000 light-years.


How long would it take to reach the ends of the milky way galaxy?

The Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years in diameter. Traveling at the speed of light, it would take 100,000 years to reach the edge. However, with current spacecraft technology, which travels at approximately 17,500 miles per hour, it would take over 20 billion years to traverse the galaxy. Thus, reaching the ends of the Milky Way is far beyond human capabilities with existing technology.

Would the distance between the Milky Way to the next nearest galaxy be the lenght of a light year?

The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is currently considered to be the closest galaxy to the Milky Way. It is 25,000 light years from our solar system and 42,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Its status as a galaxy is still disputed in some scientific circles. If the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy loses its galaxy status, then the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy would reacquire the title as the Milky Way's closest neighbor. It is it is roughly 50,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
