Default The Apocalypse

Has anyone heard about that comet or asteroid or something coming to us? It is "supposedly" going to miss us as I've heard but I believe it is quite the conspiracy. I believe that it WILL hit us but our little government friends are just releasing lies to make our lives continue on the same. If we knew the comet was going to hit us, I believe this world would go into a minor to major state of panic...Not exactly sure of how much of an impact this would have on our society but I do know that a majority of us would at the least, be frightened. It is supposedly supposed to "pass" by us in about 10 years or so...Hopefully, our government is working on something to stop this damn thing from actually hitting us because from what I've read, this is an extinction-making comet. Please post your thoughts about this dreadful little mishappening to our world.

No, the moon is made of cheese. Mars is made of Strawberry Flavored gelatin.
If it was going to happen, I'd hastily sit on my ass and hastily play some RISK on WC3.

It's going to happen eventually. Can you imagine an asteroid larger than the sun passing through our solar system? That would hit the planet so hard, not even the cockroaches would survive. All life is based on the chaos that is the universe, solar flares disrupting satellite communications etc. and eventually, something big is going to hit the earth. It may not be tomorrow, or the next day, or 5,000 years from now, but it's going to happen. It's almost inevitable with all of the junk flying around in space.

What people should be a little more worried about is satellites colliding in orbit. It's very, very likely, that if 2 satellites collided, it would set off a chain reaction taking out nearly every other satellite and send them crashing to the surface. Odds are they'll hit the ocean or unpopulated areas, but one could land in the middle of busy rush hour traffic in a major city, or the middle of a parade.

Shit happens.

Well considering the existense of an asteroid the size of the sun is IMPOSSIBLE because of the gravitational limits the sun sets on our solar system..ya know due to it's pull nothing in the solar system can be bigger than it..oh yes and the asteroid that he was talking about missed us by about 800 miles about a month ago...and how would two satellites colliding send them all down??????????? Explain your thesis. Also if an asteroid were to come near earth there is more than enough firepower to redirect in to the ocean or just destroy it.

No, our atmosphere is only 372 miles or 600 km.

YEa, there was a one like 50 meters wide that came within like 500,000 km of the earth, like 2 weeks ago, and thats considered a pretty close call. Small, but it would still be big enough to take out a most of NYC.

Astroids are a pretty big threat. Chances of one that will cause the apocalyspe hitting, are very slim. Very, probably like a billion to one. It could still happen...of course...but honestly, I highly doubt an astroid big enough to end to world, will hit in the next few thousand years, as there really arn't that many in this solar system...sure, they're there, but we're alot more likely to be hit by something that won't kill us all. In a few centurys, we'll probably be tracking every astroid in the solor system anyway, and could stop it easily.

my source of info. i figured 1000km is about 800m. But it does appear that the maximum height of the atmosphere is based on the author's opinion.

That's under 800 miles.

Our sun is considered small. If a giant, like 5000 times the size of our sun, star supernova'd and took out a planet 50 times the size of the sun, and sent it hurtling our way it's possible. We'd probably be knocked out of orbit first and everybody would fly into the atmosphere (I think) but I can't see a reason why anybody can say it couldn't definitively happen when we don't know everything about the universe.

Although the atmosphere extends to a height of 1000km, it is nevertheless still very important for life on the surface of the Earth. This is because of something known as air pressure, which we will learn more about on the next page.

i am in no way wrong. The source i got it from says 1000km. Read the whole page. Maybe that information is incorrect, maybe it is correct.
