Yes, actually, it is known since at least a decade, I remember having made a brief review on that during high school, I was already astrophysics-enthusiast :D

They will collide in about roughly 4 billion years, so we have time to see that haha ; not even sure if the sun will be enough hot for people to live on planet Earth, I guess by that time maybe people on Earth will have managed to go somewhere else, that's all we can hope for ! And if there are remaining people on Earth, they would be able to read the newspaper at night with all the light generated by the collision ! But I guess there are other priorities to do to protect yourself when such an event occurs :D http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/03/24/scientists-predict-our-galaxys-death/
Yeah, this will not be for us. We will be cold dead at that time :p
I'd have hoped to witness that kind of thing though, maybe another version of ourselves. I believe everything is just energy, we'll end up witnessing it I guess, but in another form, but this is another type of debate, which is at the intersection of both philosophy and science :D
Kind of sad, isn't it? It at least makes for a sense of place in the universe to have a prediction, even that far out, into the fate of our civilization. How many world's have came before us?
End philosophical rant :-P
Good question. I don't know the answer, as everyone ;)
