    It has actually been circulating in the scientific community for quite some time that perhaps space is the object that is moving. With the dimensions of space/time and the infinitely expanding universe smaller objects such as meteors can change direction or accelerate by making use of the law of conservation of linear momentum and can perhaps stay at a constant speed while traveling through space/time at quicker rates as both the object and space travel simultaneously. So in fact, meteors do not get scooped up like bugs on a windshield.

    Have fun watching the meteor shower though.

    Whatever you say man. It's just a copy/paste thing for me.

    Wouldn't that be IN THEORY since it isn't really a fact?

    Lolol. I check often on astronomy and astrology sites and all kinds of other celestial shite for meteor showers. I know the big winter "show" is coming in two months, so I'll be waiting for that as well. Later, QD.
