I feel the ocean swaying me
Washin away all my pain
See where I used to be wounded
Remember the scar? now you can't see a thing
And I don't feel no pain oh no
hey
Singin about the valleys of sunrise
Green and blue canyons too
Im singin about Atlantis love songs
Valleys of Neptune is risiing, rising, rising

On the first flight in New Zealand, astronomers used SOFIA to observe the disk of gas and dust orbiting the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, and two dwarf galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which accompany the Milky Way. The Magellanic Clouds can be seen easily with the naked eye in the southern sky.
"SOFIA's deployment to the Southern Hemisphere shows the remarkable versatility of this observatory, which is the product of years of fruitful collaboration and cooperation between the U.S. and German space agencies," said Paul Hertz, director of NASA's Astrophysics Division in Washington. "This is just the first of a series of SOFIA scientific deployments envisioned over the mission's planned 20-year lifetime."
A vital part of the collaboration is a far-infrared spectrometer, the German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz Frequencies (GREAT). Mounted on SOFIA's telescope for the entire deployment, GREAT is especially suited for studies of interstellar gas and the life cycle of stars.

Could you please show me the evidence that moving through the galactic center will dislodge the Oort cloud -- and then show me evidence that the dislodging of stuff from the Oort cloud will have a major effect on us in the near future?
This sounds like an interesting idea, but you haven't really shown me anything that would necessarily give me cause for concern -- major or otherwise.

You won't get anything except smoke and mirrors from this clown. It is all "thought experiments" with nothing to back them up except YouTube and song lyrics with a little creative writing mixed in. Same as EVERY other thread he makes.
The Milky Way does not have an ecliptic (you really should look it up). Perhaps you are talking about the Galactic plane. The Solar System passed through the center of that several million years ago and will not do so again for many millions more.
on the ecliptic of the Milky Way
In addition, the solar system moves perpendicular to the galactic plane in a harmonic fashion, with a period of 52 to 74 million years and an amplitude of ~49 to 93 pc out of the galactic plane. (The uncertainties in the estimates of the period and amplitude of the motion are caused by the uncertainty in the amount of dark matter in the galactic disk.) The Sun and planets passed through the galactic plane about 2-3 million years ago, moving "northward."
ISON is not on the ecliptic.

No.
"The uncertainties in the estimates..." translates to "We're pretty much guessing here"
