I'm trying to think of what kind of cosmic event would cause an explosion powerful enough to "shake" or disrupt the whole flow of a galaxy and on that same note what other kind of super cosmic event would have the power necessary to be felt across the known universe?

What do you mean by shake and disrupt? Shaking as an earthquake? Disrupt the flow as destroying something or disrupt the laws of physics and etc. You'll get better answers if you're pinpoint what you want to achieve.

Well what I'm specifically looking for is an explosion that has some scientific fact to it, strong enough to destroy a galaxy, and also one strong enough to destroy a big enough chunck of space that is immeasurable by the human mind

If you are open to sci fi responses, there is a novel: “The sins of the fathers†where a very advanced civilization triggers supernovas regurlarly in order to create raw materials. But an accident happens, a chain reaction starts, and they blow up the center of the galaxy.

Gravitational waves are the closest you will get to universe-shaking.
Predicted by Einstein and proven in 2015, these waves are caused by colliding black holes that stretch the fabric of space-time. Unfortunately, that is the closest you will get to shaking the universe. These waves require extremely sensitive lasers stretching miles apart to detect. All told, these waves change the size of the universe by only centimeters. Also, the shaking effect is not instant. The waves move at the speed of light, so they take time to spread through the universe. Even giant supernovae exploding is like a light tickle for a galaxy, and not even noticeable for the universe.

Well, since vibrations can't propagate through a vacuum, the 'shaking' would have to be something that can propagate through spacetime. Something like a Gravitational Wave fits the bill.
However, any event that would create a gravitational wave strong enough to shake a galaxy would probably also create a flash of radiation powerful enough to boil every planet within thousands of lightyears, and sterilise everything else.

Well, one could work out how much energy is released by an event that has created a gravitational wave, then calculate how much bigger the event would need to be to generate a wave that is big enough to be felt. At a guess, I would think something like a stellar mass worth of anti-matter being annihilated might do it. Of course, due to the inverse squares law, the wave weakens as it spreads out from the epicentre. Bear that in mind.

A galactic collision, that is, two galaxies passing through each other. This kind of event lapses for millions to billions of years. The galaxies may or may not merge. Since space is so empty it is unlikely for stars to actually collide. They are mostly flung to new, interesting orbits, or out of the galaxies altogether.
Big bang and, depending on the models you ascribe to, big crunch (big bang in reverse), collision with another universe, or brane collision. None of these support holywoodian apocalypses, though, because science ruins the rule of cool.

I don't think one or two galaxies will make a difference to the universe, there are just too many for a few to matter.

Ok so I guess out of those options which is the most scientifically probable to happen?

@nuckingfutz galaxy collisions happen all the time. We will collide with Andromeda in a few dozen billion years. Some minor galaxies are being torn to shreds by the Milky Way as we speak. And I am quite sure the big bang has already happened [citation needed].

What do you mean by shake and disrupt? Shaking as an earthquake? Disrupt the flow as destroying something or disrupt the laws of physics and etc. You'll get better answers if you're pinpoint what you want to achieve.

Well what I'm specifically looking for is an explosion that has some scientific fact to it, strong enough to destroy a galaxy, and also one strong enough to destroy a big enough chunck of space that is immeasurable by the human mind
