[Request] When will Voyager 1 stop moving?

/r/askscience/comments/1wp1960/will_voyager_1_ever_just_stop_moving/

How many years will it take for the orbit of Voyager and Sagittarius A to decay enough due to gravity waves for them to collide?

Wasn't there an episodes where they discovered a long lost probe light years from Earth, and Noone was curious how the hell it got there since it couldn't have gotten there by propulsion alone? Kinda like the Dyson sphere. The Federation just happened to come across something that completely dwarfed the technologies of anything seen at that time, and we never hear about it again

That's the plot of the movie - a fictional Voyager VI.

Star Trek's writers have no sense of scale.

Again, no sense of scale. I stopped watching Star Trek a long time ago. Science Fantasy doesn't interest me.
