Stellar drift, is what i believe you are referring to, this goes right along with space is curved, All mass creates a gravitational force even light will bend, this can be seen by looking at a stare in the sky just past the moon the star you see is acutely behind the moon it's do to the light bending which is caused by gravitational forces of Mass, So long as space bends or mass stays in motion in theory Galaxy's will drift but never slam into each other.

Newton and Einstein never predicted that the planets would slam into each other. They predicted quite the opposite, actually.

First off, you should use spell checker and second Einstein was a Jew and also one of GODs chosen people and he was very smart because of the promise GOD made to the Hebrew people. Next GOD put everything in motion but he also made it to where it would look like it all happened on its own but the power of GOD keeps things in order! Its too bad we can't keep things in order! Oh yea it should be why don't the planets slam into each other.

Due to the expansion of the universe from the big bang the galaxies are separating, as for the planets the speed of the planets moving through space keeps them separate... its like spinning 2 tennis balls on 2 different lengths of string above your head... gravity is the string... the momentum keeps them apart.

They do! the debris that is outside the gravity zone of the planet then forms into new moons. orthos hit earth and perhaps venus as well and it's just a matter of time before pluto crosses orbits with neptune again and again until one day they perhaps collide or one becomes trapped in the other's gravity.

They actually do. Its called gravity . The reason that they dont actually kiss is because due to rotation; a wirlpool of space time repulses them and so they stay apart.

centrifugal force. you know the stuff that sticks your laundry to the outer wall of the spin dryer

Theyre far enough away from each other that their gravitational feilds dont effect each other.

Read their theories (and it's "Einstein", Einstein) and that will tell you.
