A lot can change in 12,000,000 Years :mrgreen: But Shucks It would be an awful long trip just to find out! : :wink:
Actually, between those two, practically nothing is going to change at all in just 12 million years. They're interacting on a time scale of billions of years.
I'm sure you're correct; -> you usually are; but I was talking about the X-rays and not the dance! they could be on a billions of years thingy also! I don't think i'll wait around to find out! 💫
You could give it a shot.
