Do you feel the cross is attracting the meteorites? Is this possibility now giving them a way to prevent disaster?

Hmm. I can’t quite get my head round this one. How would a small piece of meteorite attract its parent rock?
(Star Trek ‘The Voyage Home’ is springing to mind, but at least there was a reason for that probe heading towards Earth.)

I agree with >2 Sergeirocks:. I don't know how a small piece of meteorite could attract a larger meteorite. I'm sure there will be some sort of reasonable explanation later.

>2 Sergeirocks: It does have the feel of that film!

This brings to mind the speech from Hamlet!

Horatio: O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!

Hamlet: And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

>5 Andrew-theQM: Shakespeare; I’m impressed. It beats my Star Trek for intellectuality… ☺️

>6 Sergeirocks: Not a great Shakespeare fan at all, but there are some quotes from it that stand out.

Most probably know more quotes from Star Trek 🤣

Dark energy attracting dark energy. I think the comet was in the vicinity and got curious when it ‘felt’ the kinship with the cross. Like magnets…meteorites are drawn to the comet and the cross. Think they need to find a way to reverse the polarity (or whatever) to get them to repel each other and the meteorites. They move away, problem solved.

I definitely know more Star Trek quotes than Shakespeare.

>9 bluebird_: Live long and prosper!

Reversing polarity and use a repelling force is a good thought. >8 bluebird_:

I asked "Mr. Google" and this is what he said about a meteorite's ability to attract one another.

"Meteorites are not magnets and do not attract each other. However, many meteorites are magnetic due to their iron-nickel content. It is important to note that not all meteorites attract magnets; only those rich in iron, such as iron or stony-iron meteorites, will attract magnets. Some meteorites, like those from the Moon, which are made up of rocky minerals, will not be attracted to any magnet.

The cross is only one item to stop the meteor destruction I feel there is something else as >8 bluebird_: says reverse polarity, therefore you need a positive and a negative

I don’t even know anything about Star Trek as I never watched it before and Shakespeare is not my cup of tea either.

>14 EadieB: The original Star Trek was awesome. Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. Loved Spock's ears and the Vulcan peace sign.

>15 Carol420: I don’t like science fiction.

>16 EadieB: It was more futuristic adventure than science fiction...if that makes any sense.

>17 Carol420: All I know is I didn’t understand it!

Star Trek was a great series. Remember they used a flip open communicator before we had the flip open cell phone. I like Shakespeare, good way to learn about life. He covered a lot of it in his works.

Star Trek and Star Trek : The Next Generation were both great series. I also enjoyed Deep Space Nine.

>20 Andrew-theQM: modern version of Jules Verne writing

>20 Andrew-theQM: Me too, Andrew. Did you ever watch Lost In Space? It was an early one.

>22 Carol420: wow Lost in Space goes way back

>23 JohnDBurke: So do I, John:)

>24 Carol420: know what you mean. We are like good wine improved with age

>22 Carol420: “Never fear Smith is here’. That original series was brilliant, and had to be the forerunner of all our science fiction!

I was only 2 when it first ran but loved it when they re-ran the series when I was older.

>24 Carol420: 🤣🤣🤣

>26 Andrew-theQM: I loved the robot that looked like a tin can with arms. "Danger Wiil Robinson, Danger, Danger!!!"
