When you wish on a falling star...

Is science killing the dream?

"Shooting Stars" are nothing more than small chunks of debris floating in space that used to be part of a comet or meteor. The earth crosses paths with this tiny objects less than a the size of a large truck and get literally vaporized in the atmosphere. We get a nice light show as a result.

There is no magic, no angels, no miracle. But I can't help but still make a wish. Am I being foolish? Am I negating science? Or do I accept the truth but let a little bit of me believe we are all more than stardust...
