Slight changes can cause such impacts? Now imagine how many other meteors and comets also will be adjusting because of this. Will one of them once on a course to never hit earth suddenly shift to hit earth in a thousand years time? The confidence i get is the opposite

I don't think asteroids (like the target) have influence on others. There's so much space between them, and their mass is almost neglible.

Oh no. I was not talking about the other objects that float through space influenced by such a small object so far away.

I was talking about the sun shaking in its orbit because high velocity objects are now pulling at it differently causing other objects to be influenced by the new position of the sun.

I read the parent comment as “solar orbit change” meaning the sub was changing position.
