Traveling at warp 5, wouldn’t they be punching tiny holes in your spacecraft? Or do those deflectors really work?

How is it possible that a full 1% of this space dust ends up in our house?Yea, I wonder about that too Larry. All winter long the only entrance to my home's interior is thru the door to the garage but yet after a month or so, there's dust everywhere. Where does it come from????

The article assumes an even distribution of space dust, or at least that the collection site Is a representative average. These could both be false.
The 9g/sqkm is interesting. That’s very spread out. Kind of like gold in the ocean.

How much does that cause the diameter of Earth to expand each year?

NASA is still spotting junk fading into space they are to far away from the gravity field.

I thought the Earth was looking a bit chubbier.
