ABSTRACT: We propose a mathematical model for
determining the probability of meteorite origin, impacting the earth. Our
method is based on axioms similar to both the complex networks and emergent
gravity. As a consequence, we are able to derive a link between complex
networks and Newton’s gravity law, and as a possible application of our model
we discuss several aspects of the Bacubirito meteorite. In particular, we
analyze the possibility that the origin of this meteorite may be alpha Centauri
system. Moreover, we find that in order for the Bacubirito meteorite to come
from alpha Cen and be injected into our Solar System, its velocity must be
reduced one order of magnitude of its ejected scape velocity from alpha Cen.
There are several ways how this could happened, for example through collision
with the Oort cloud objects (located outside the boundary of our Solar System),
and/or through collisions within the Solar meteorites belt (located between
Mars and Jupiter). We also argue that it may be interesting to study
the Bacubirito meteorite from the perspective of the recently discovered Oumuamua
object.
