Am I read right? Is it really a single meteorite weights the mass of all

meteorites per year? How much mass do meteorite loose when burning in

the atmosphere?


Make that Russian one worth 10,000 tonnes.

Annual average influx is perhaps worth 50,000 tonnes (increasing).

Most of the influx comes from items well under 1 kg.

Yes, REAL suspected Black Holes can RiP you APART.!! But NOT in GR gtr Tivity.!! Because in GR Tivity you would be a POiNT ..and if you COULD have a mass, in GR, you would be a POiNT-mass.

Causation - A problem with negative mass. Negastive mass implies imaginary mass brian a m stuckless Astronomy Misc 0 October 1st 05 08:36 PM
