Explain? Gravitational effects are additive. The Galactic center in fact has that minimal effect at all times. It will never have more effect. I was disputing the galactic center theory not the fact that we could bet hit by an asteroid. No matter what alignments happen, etc, the effect of the galactic center will be so infinitesimal as to make no measurable difference.
