Am I the only one who thought (and still thinks) that the meteor over Russia was actually part of or might have been totally in fact that asteroid that was set to make it’s closest approach to Earth ever that day?
My vote is part of but do not know for certain. There are many masses of objects which do have some gravitational forces acting upon each of those objects traveling close or rather closely together. My vote is part of but still not certain. Even today scientists have difficulty describing gravity and gravitation forces in relation to space and time. Einstein may have come the closest to understanding the relationship of gravity to time and space but is still an unknown (imho), and to tell you the truth ... I’m the dumbest rock in the box.
