if one can't trust the source data...than there is nothing to trust in calculations

that is what is scary about all of this

If the earth was about to expierience an event they sure as hell wouldn't tell the population beforehand.

You can take that to the bank.

How many times does a comet/asteroid need to do EXACTLY what NASA says it will before we start to give them a little credit?

This is like arguing with Christians (or any other religion, for that matter). You can point out all the obvious and blatant flaws in their reasoning, contradictions in religious texts, etc, and they will come back at you with FAITH.

Well here you can point out all the sound math in the world, these guys will tell you that NASA is fudging the figures.

You guys want it all to end so bad you refuse to see anything that contradicts your doomporn.


If someone really, really wanted it all to end.. They could just make sure that happened. No need to wait for an asteroid to do it for you.

On Nov 2nd the equator of both the rock and earth were exactly on the same plane. It is passing over the earth at off center from our north pole. It is not going between the earth and moon.

The earth axis is 23 degrees tipped. The moon rotates on this same tip. so it will fly by above the earth and when the moon reaches the top of its orbit it will be close like the north pole.


So here is whats critical to understand.

Even if the calculations are wrong and its very close Earths gravity will pull it to the atmosphere at an angle it cant enter and it will be skipped off the atmosphere at a 20 degree angle taking it much further away from the moon than predicted. just like a rock at the pond. throw it straight down and it sinks. Throw it at an angle and it skips right off the surface tension. This rock is coming at the best skipping angle.

If Nasa has lied we will know by tomorrow morning US time. However. there is Zero chance they have made a mistake in their calculations since they have had it tracked daily with radio telescopes for 4 hr spans since the 4th. They know where it is within +/- about 50 miles.

But dont kid yourself. Amateurs like Phage dont know a thing about the truth here. Absolutely nothing. The only ones who do are sitting at the radio telescope listening stations. But it still doesnt matter since we know regardless of the angle its still going to skip. Period. >.< end of story.

anybody know where the president and various world leaders are going to be over the next few days?

i did check the presidential schedule however it's blank

That's because they're not going to pencil it in when he's in his underground bunker, 3 miles below the surface eating Cheetos and playing Xbox.

Make your amends today people, the end is nigh!

Where did I put that bucket list....?

Wormwood?

What is negative distance? I think your error is when you introduce the negative distances and make the linear assumption, which would wrongly imply that the distance will go from negative to positive and thus be zero at some point. So of course if you linearly interpolate with those assumptions you'll get some very small numbers. I don't see how the distances will not be non-linear, knowing the trajectories of each object??

It is funny that you are mentioning that. It was quite odd but I was watching CNN and they had a reporter go over the president's schedule in detail over the next few days. The puzzling thing about this is that the president's schedule is never blasted on the news like that. The last thing you want is a crazy idiot trying to kill the president so blasting his schedule on the news is a bad idea. The presentation of his schedule seemed forced and out of place. It was as if they were catering to the conspiracy theorists out there that would pose the very question you did.
