I don't believe it either.

A giant asteroid? The chances of a huge rock hitting the earth in our lifetime is about 1/infinite. The last time it MAY have happened was 65 million years ago, that is the earliest date that the Earth could theoretically have been hit by a giant rock. Even so, scientists believe that is not how the dinosaurs were wiped out. Currently the most popular theory is climate change.


Ever heard of Tanguska? Maybe you should do some research before you go making ignorant comments.

The whole Bruce Willis in Armageddon won't work. The most likely plan would be to launch a small satellie to orbit the asteroid. The minute gravity shift it would cause would have been (theoretically) enough to nudge the asteroid along a slightly different path so it wouldn't hit the Earths gravitational keyhole.

But research of past orbital data suggests the asteroid won't hit that keyhole. So we're safe for now.

plus guided missiles wont work in space :S


what you would have to do it physically get on the thing drill a hole then insert the nukes and hit the big red button, but that wouldn't work anyways.

Then we could send you Ominous up there with a hammer and a sickle and you can break it apart piece by piece.

Well if it is coming we could always just higher Bruce Willis to fly a space shuttle to the asteroid and plant some nukes. Problem solved.


depends if its big enough nukes wouldn't do anything, then we would just have a few thousand yards of molten slag hit us after the asteroid did.


Actualy, people are making plans to send nuclear missles towards any asteroid that might hit the earth to kind of nudge it out of the way, but not to destroy it, since that would take alot of missles.

Other than the fact that a nuclear explosion in space would rain Gamma and X-radiation down upon the earth, we'd be totally safe nuking an asteroid.

Researchers had flagged the object as one to monitor very carefully. It was the first asteroid to be ranked 4 on the Torino Scale, a Richter-like measure for potentially threatening space rocks. The asteroid is about a quarter mile (400 meters) wide, large enough to cause considerable local or regional damage were it to hit the planet.

Local or regional damage. That is all.


just enough to erase half of the USA.

As long as it's the other half.


srsly who really needs California anyways?


I need california cuz I live in it!

Hey. While there is a .00001 chance of the asteroid hitting the gravitational keyhole of earth causeing it to vear over so slightly into a path of Earth. That keyhole is only 20,000 KM from Earth. Well inside the moons orbit.

The thing about people is that they have trouble comprehending a low probability/highly catastrophic event. NASA is taking it rather seriously.

Seeing as there is nothing I can personally do to influence this event, there is no point worrying about it.


thats what i was thinging thx for saving me some typing.

So to you nuclear bomb = explosion that kills everything on earth? yeah...

By the way, a small satellite knowing it of course? Do you know the force that something that small will have on anything? It is simple school physics. Since you need to multiply by the gravitational constant which is like 6.67 x10^-11, and divide by the radius of orbit squared, you would need to have something that weighed 667000000 metric tons to have a gravitational pull of 1ms^-2. Now it is going to weigh in at nowhere near that, and it is going to orbit at a far greater distance.

Also wouldn't the fact that it was being orbitted actually cancel the amount it is knocking off by going round the other side?

A normal satellite probably weighs 2 tonnes, so orbitting at 1km the acceleration would be... 1.334 x10^-13 ms^-2.

Now using s=ut + 1/2at^2 we find that if the satellite orbitted for 30 days, the overall displacement would be about 45cm.

Now who is being ignorant? I believe you deserve a big bowl of stfu.

Wow dude, I don't even know where to begin deciphering that load of garbage.

I guess I should begin with the nuclear bomb statement. Did I ever say that a nuclear bomb = explosion that kills everything on earth? I'm pretty sure I said that the radiation from a nuclear explosion in space would rain radiation down on earth.

The fact that you seem to be an expert in physics is impressive and all, if you actually knew what you were talking about. You are correct in stating that a small satellite would displace the orbit of an asteroid by a very minute amount. Track that minute difference over the course of a half billion kilometers and you have a rather large course change. Enough to put the asteroid in a path that won't take it through the keyhole.

Dude, you're wrong reefer.

Displacement is the distance from Point A to Point B if travelled in a straight line. If I ran around in circles my average displacement would be a big fat zero.

But i can pwn you 1v1 now :D

Right, right, you mean, sometime after Hell freezes over, but before a giant asteroid hits the Earth.


Actually we're in the path of an asteroid that may hit us in 2039 on Friday the 13th to be exact...


You forget that the world ends in 2012 (Dec. 21)... Mayan calender, you know.

Yay! A new server. I was getting a lot of lag earlier.

Yeah...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_%28vector%29

If I travelled from point A to point B in a straight line it would be called, wait for it... Distance.

I meant if you took a curved, irregular line, and measured the distance from PA to PB that would be your displacement.

Actually, people are making plans to send nuclear missiles towards any steroid that might hit the earth to kind of nudge it out of the way, but not to destroy it, since that would take a lot of missiles.


So we have to destroy a giant steroid now do we? I guess it might work.. but if you ate it, it would probably make you like totally ripped.

over years you would get no more than a few metres out of it. By the way I do know what I am talking about, and so would any 17 year old that studies physics in school. Now, about the nuke thing.

You call me ignorant when I say that no asteroid has killed everything on earth in atleast 65 million years, you then link me to a page that shows an asteroid crashing down 100 years ago. Did everything on Earth die 100 years ago? No. Clearly showing that it was you who was ignorant.

But theyr'e making plans to send the misles into space while the asteroid is still far away, so that is will be nudged out of the path of the earth and it the gamma rays etc. won't afect the earth. Another idea they have is sending out an unmaned space ship with a big telescope on it to consentrate the light of the sun on the asteroid. This will make a small area on the asteroid evaporate, pushing it kind of like a rocket.

BTW, congrats on the new server.

Guess what Nessy, I'm a little bit older than 17, and I did pass high school physics. Now, if you are so intelligent you would know that the earth moves the equivalent of it's diameter in just six minutes. So nudging an asteroid by even a few degrees off it's tragectory by the use of a small satellite (or gravity tractor as the scientists call it) would delay an asteroids arrival long enough for the earth to move out of the way on it's own accord. Therefore my original arguement is still valid. And if you are interested here is one of my Sources. You conveniently ignore the fact that over a decade or two even a small nudge from a gravity tractor satellite would change the asteroids tragectory enough to put it into a safe orbit. Please do some research before you bring my intelligence into question again.

Now, I tire of this little debate between you and I, especially since you haven't brought anything constructive to said debate. I won't be making another reply to you, so go ahead and hit me with another one of your (not so) cleverly disguised flames.

BTW Cheesemaster, a nuclear detonation would most likely have the effect of shattering an asteroid into smaller, but still equally dangerous, fragments. As well as still raining down a rather uncomfortable amount of radiation.

Suddenly I have not brought anything new to the debate? What a pathetic thing to say, do you think that is clever? I am flaming you? You come out of nowhere and call me ignorant, like you do in every thread. If you knew anything about physics, you would know that:

A. Due to gravitational pull and such, just because the asteroid will move to the side a few hundred feet if we had DECADES of time to work it out, doesn't give any extra time to the earth, that the difference between destroying the world and destroying the world.

B. That site is not simply using gravity to move the asteroid.
