"Our accelerating universe would pull distant galaxies farther away from our vicinity, such that in about 10 billion years following the merger, Milkomeda would become our entire visible universe."

Actually, this has not been settled yet. It all depends on dark matter and dark energy and gravity. It seems that dark energy may be on the decline and has changed since the start of our universe. It's possible that gravity may be different than we think, and may act differently at larger distances.

The jury is still out.
