Valentine's Day could really suck in 2046

It's probably a close cousin of the same models they use to predict that the earth will die because of climate change.

Honestly, it's probably a complicated mathematical model that figures out what they expect it's trajectory will be based on what they know about all the other forces that will be acting on it and slightly affecting it's movement over time. As with anything, they can only model what they know and what they think they know.

But I promise you, if I shot a 150-grain bullet at you traveling 2000 feet/second, you'd know it.

Uhhhh, Sir, Mr Redneck Sir !
I'm you best buddy- promise !

You would'nt shoot your best buddy, would ya, Mr. Redneck Sir ?


50 m remains relatively small, and a large part of it would breakup when hitting the atmosphere (unless it's a metallic asteroid).
The effect would be likely similar to the Chelyabinsk meteor in 2013.

Damage would be local.
Not whole Earth doom

I was thinking about the End of Days. God chucks something down to earth.

It would explain the massive flooding that almost every civilization talks about. Also the coal deposits that are right near major mountain ranges. The floods deposit all of the organic matter at the bottom of the natural barriers.

It's pretty fun to research this stuff~!

Wormwood.
But Wormwood is supposed to make water on earth toxic.
It would need to be bigger than 50m, like at least as big as Lizzo's ass and as toxic....I can picture God being angry causing a flood, but God attacking humanity with a Lizzo seems improbable.

There are things that God would never stoop down to....

Deleted off topic post.

Glad you put this up for ATS. I saw it yesterday and figured somewhere here would.

or racist if
it hits in the wrong place.

the government better do something.

I have considered Valentines day a disaster most of my life, it will just be another day that ends in Y.

Thank goodness the missus hates it almost as much as me.

If that 50m diameter rock turns out to be an Iron, then it could make it to the ground at cosmic velocity. Still not the apocalypse but a hell of a blast if it hits land.

The Barringer Meteor was an Iron and was 30-50m in diameter.... Check out that hole in Winslow.

What luck. It just missed the visitor center.

I think I remember posting in the OP that this is not an ELE event. Even a local disruption in a tightly-connected world could have major impacts across the globe, at least on human life. I mean, really, when Trump was pushing the wall and Mexico was threatening trade wars, I remember some pretty serious crying over how we won't ever get to eat avocados again! Oh, the horror!

He could still be President...

Then again, if it hits D.C., it could improve life for everybody....

Yeah, Apophis will get us first in 2029 or 2036.

Asteroid Apophis to cause massive destruction on Earth in 2036, says NASA

www.wionews.com...


Just to let you know, they keep saying it will not hit us in 2029 but as time goes by (news articles from the early 2010's to 2023, that distance to earth keeps closing. It was 35K miles, then 29K, then 23K, now it is 19K..... hmmmmm

www.latimes.com...

Apophis will pass roughly 19,000 miles (31,000 kilometers) above Earth’s surface. That’s about one-tenth the distance to the moon.

Earth safe for 100 years.....

I disagree based on previous behaviour it can only be a kiss from god.
He who shows his love by killing about 3 million in a flood and turns whole cities into salt...yup.
The other one's worst was trying to teach knowledge and wake the sheeple from their obedience. Oooh scary.

Sorry, thread misdirection.

Here: I wouldn't worry about that asteroid either.

a reply to: DaRAGE

There are a lot of big rocks out there and at some point we will get his again by a big one but now we are more likely to be in a position to defend ourselves if we see it early enough , like the rock in the OP , if it comes from behind the Sun we are kinda screwed.... but then what's worse a big rock or a Nuke , think I'll take the rock.

Sadly he could probably still give more coherent speeches than Uncle Joe.

When you consider all the crap we've do ourselves and each other trying to best judge good and evil, you might re-assess how benign Satan's intent was.

So you believe Satan = Good
