Unlikely that our Earth will be smashed into anything when it does. There's so much empty space that it's statistically unlikely anything collides, or so I've read.

I'm more concerned that Earth would be affected by the gravity of something else and be slingshot out of the mix

That's definitely more of a possibility, good observation. Now that I think of it, happy to think I won't be alive to witness it, but still an exciting thought. I wish I could be like an immortal God to witness the orchestral dance of the cosmos. Truly beautiful, the ultimate beauty of existence are the heavens.

If the earth was flung out of the solar system by something elses gravity, then it's likely the rest of the solar system, or the majority of it, would be destroyed as well. My biggest fear is a black hole coming close to earth, because there likely won't be anything we could do about.

Earth will be uninhabitable by then anyway.
