    Entire universe no. Stopping this particular galaxy and not the others, the average Joe wouldn’t notice. But I think the astronomers could tell?

        Because after moving very slowly and steadily for just about forever, the other galaxies will suddenly make a jump of like ten thousandth of a degree.
