The asteroid belt to my knowledge is 168,000,000
million miles away from the Earth. If the average
speed of the meteoroid coming out of the belt where 10
mph that would mean in 24 hours it traveled 240 miles
one week 1680 miles one year 87600 miles. In 100 years
8760000 miles To do 168,000,000 miles would take about
1917 years. So If I found a meteorite in 2002 the
meteoroid had to start it’s journey in 85 A.D. (if
using AD - Anno Domini is to heavy for this list let
me know) I wanted to present this write up as a sales
pitch to the general public. Is this on or off track??


Here is another one that crossed my mind. If light
travels 186000000 miles per second. How long will it
take in TIME for light to travel 3/8 of an inch???
