So every year the earth revisits a given spot in the ghost trail?
So the closest ghosts, on any given day, are the ones who died on the same date. So the death anniversary of a loved one would mean they are at their nearest point.
Well no, since our entire solar system is also moving.
While we may return to a point that’s similar to last year relative to the sun, we’ve still moved in relation to everything outside that frame.
Think of a car moving down the highway and you’re in the back seat. You scoot over to the other side, throw some trash out the window, then scoot back. In relation to the car you’re back where you started, in relation to the trash you threw… You’re down the highway you filthy litterer.
Our galaxy is also moving through the greater universe, so those ghosts will be long dead ghost corpses floating still in the greater void if/when earth ever swings by again.
I once worked out how fast the earth would move away from you if this was the case. I think it was something like 25,000 meters per second.

Then do they eventually disintegrate? What becomes of them? Do they eventually turn into… dark matter?!
Somebody call science. NOW! We just broke this shit wide open.
