YU55 Closer Than JPL Indicates?

I'm not dead, again. I'm getting tired of not dying. I'm happy that I didn't die before my bands first show though. Ready to melt some faces.

I'm not dead

How can you be so sure? Does anyone really know what it is like to be dead? Perhaps YU55 DID hit and obliterated us all in an instant. What we are experiencing is merely a projection of continued reality by the molecules that remain of our dead selves. Think about that for a second.

Or then again, maybe it missed....

OR....I was driving eastbound on the 91 freeway in LA at the exact time of closest approach of asteroid 2005YU55....and life continued unaffected?

Let's try to inject some rational thinking, here....OK?

Because.....using that sort of imagination, as quoted....then the "Cuban Missile Crisis" might have resulted in total nuclear obliteration of the planet.....and since 1962 we have all been "living" in a fantasy?

Or.....well, pick ANY "doomsday" scenario of your choosing....or, instead? Choose reality.

.........your choice...........

I was being ironic or facetious or both

....your choice....

reply to post by casinoed


Well.....writing sarcasm, whether it is I attempting it .... or someone else .... even to be facetious.......it is an art form that is difficult to master.

...And, not always recognizable. I now acknowledge, after you mention, that that was your intent.

Not really worthy of a response, other than.

I pity you.

well that's a metaphysical arguement, but science and occams razor say that you are wrong

So returning to my earlier existential hypothesis:

The meteor strikes and all life is snuffed out, all that remains is a projection of our former lives. Some chemical and electrical interactions with memory on a cellular or molecular level. It's as if nothing has changed. These memories continue to go about their daily lives, going to work, hanging around on ATS. Hell, this memory, believing itself to be still alive, even light-heartedly suggests what DID in fact happen.

But then another ATSer, although in reality just a figment of my dead imagination - a NON-ENTITY if you will - this NON-ENTITY even tries to convince my dead memory that because IT is still alive then there is no way the asteroid hit. It happened to be driving along the freeway at precisely the moment when the asteroid was at its closest so there is just no way. No possible way. Undeniable proof thanks to evidence offered by some Californian NON-ENTITY.

If ever there is a lesson to be learned it's this: avoid eating rich-spicy food when a meteor is about to strike the planet. Your pulverised existence could continue to believe it is alive and the subsequent hours could be spent experiencing what can only be described as a really annoying dream. A dream involving some really inconsequential person who thinks that everything posted on the internet is intended for them and them alone. They are also a bit stupid, so then you have to explain it, and they still don't really get it, so they tell you that it's not funny. But it wasn't really meant to be "Ha ha!" funny just a bit light-hearted, just to break up all the other irrelevant retardedness and petty infighting that goes on all the time between people who take themselves too seriously. You know what I mean? Really, really annoying, like, I dunno, dealing with someone with a behavioural disorder or something.

So avoid spicy food, unless you love it like me. In which case simply tell yourself: "It's OK, they are just an annoying NON-ENTITY".

So where is the next ATS, OMG the sky is falling topic?

I can't wait for 2012...

Btw the rock was far enough away, ahem like the scientist said would be last night to not hit EArth or pretend to hit earth to start the dreaded.... DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN


N W O!!!

Aliens did not land on the white house lawn. Dun DUn DUn DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN....

The rock just floated by earth as fortold by the scientists.....

LOL

Seriously thou, where is the next the sky is falling thread....

Your conspiracy didn't happen so your going to think something to crazy for Hollywood to put into a movie happened?

well, that was another 20 minutes wasted sitting on the roof...(yes, implying its been done before, and will happen again), good thing I had a heavily mixed drink to occupy the time!

I did enjoy a nice clear sky to observe any happenings.

Guess I have to wait for the next Doom n Gloom...

Okay, nice data. You were wrong and NASA was right, much to the consternation of many here. Deny ignorance indeed.

Yep, the OP was wrong. But I don't think anyone should be ridiculed for questioning and thinking. Deny ignorance, or do you think it should be "Hush and Accept What You're Told"?

I will NEVER stop questioning things, until my dying breath. So there.

I am actually rather flattered that you consider my idea too crazy for Hollywood, thanks very much. Means it could actually be an original idea rather than the regular bland old tripe that comes out of Tinseltown.

Maybe some Czechoslovakian-style animated short, with a soundtrack featuring lots of crashing cymbals and 'modern jazz' hmm.

Your conspiracy didn't happen

How exactly does an asteroid impact qualify as a conspiracy? They're just rocks hurtling around in space. Eventually they hit something. This one didn't and I have never claimed it would.

What a bizarre collection of people we have here today...you didn't all happen to fall off a passing space rock in the night, did you?

The question is, did the OP use the opportunity to learn how to properly compute orbits and minimum distances? Forgive me for finding it ironic to see so many people accuse NASA of lying and being wrong when it is actually the accusers who are wrong.

I see that the person sprung for a flat widescreen TV, but didn't for better camera equipment. Go figure.

On a more serious note: That Spike show I think is on an advertising blacklist for such violent displays of bigotry. Atheists can't seem to see their bigotry for the most part for some reason. Its a radical belief system so that could be the cause. Closed minded people become radicalized within their own social bubble. The perfect conditions for breeding radical bigots.

All one has to do is replace the religious theme of the main character with lets say, preaching about civil rights, and there you go. The bigotry is then blaring for even radical atheists to see. I notice agnostics don't display such hatred. I'm sure because they are usually the most open minded as a rule.

You are being petty because ProudBird didn't realize that you were playing. Given some posters on ATS, it is difficult to determine whether they are attempting humor or are serious. He is not a non-entity, Casinoed, and petulantly describing him as such only shows your emotional brittleness.

Oh ok now then. So let me understand this correctly sir? So because you posted some links of some fly by night bunch of articles from some god knows who sources? We all here are expected to believe another chapter of your endless drivel that you have every single time, yet failed to back up with factual evidence of any sort, or scientific proof whatsoever, failed story which you have failed miserabley? Uuum, No.

Don't get upset or mad, because we are just asking for some scientific proof? Not some links by some idiots who wrote some articles that they thought that they understood. The unfortunate for your truth of the matter is, is that nobody now believes your debunkIST layout anymore than any of the rest of your brotherhood android, yes man, robot drivel.

Never personal though, and I mean that. Yes we may disgree, but always I have respect. Best wishes. ~SheopelNation

Actually being a response to an OP, I am not the one that needs to provide proof and/or scientific evidence and as I stated before I was simply posting an article/articles I came across on my casual browsing. Yes I suspect their might be someone that is more inclined to dig deeper and spend more time researching in detail to provide scientific evidence which Is why I come on here in the first place to read. I enjoy and expect constructive criticism which your responses are not, rather you provide an arrogant superiority complex of negative energy that is not needed. Not that I understand any part of the second paragraph Adding that last part doesnt make the rest respectful either, instead make the wording of the whole respectful in the first place.

We all here are expected to believe another chapter of your endless drivel that you have every single time

I assume you went back to read all my other posts or this statement would be a little drastic if it is referring only to my response on this thread.

I think that thing whizzed by us at 35,000 mph and kept on truckin. Interesting that when YU55 went past us we had major storms in Alaska the likes of which haven't been seen since 1974. When did they say something like this would happen again - (153814) 2001 WN5 in 2028? Maybe we can plan a surfing trip? Maybe we can tag the next one as it passes by and mount a video camera on it and broadcast it live on YouTube! (Put an "Earth was here" bumper sticker on it.)

WAIT NEW CONSPIRACY!
The World leaders were in Hawaii during this right? That means they knew ahead of time where the surf would be best! Probably watched it all on an Alien Laptop with real time streaming YU55 action. Technology we won't get for decades.

Sorry about that. Going back and reading my response to you from yesterday I must say that I was way too harsh on you. My apologies. And again, don't take it personal my friend. Looking forward to discussing other issues with you while using better judgement. ~SheopleNation
