Admiral Annihilation Life. Universe. Everything. Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.30 04:11:00 - [1] Edited by: Admiral Annihilation on 30/09/2007 04:12:00 Edited by: Admiral Annihilation on 30/09/2007 04:11:29 You and a team of astronomers and physicists have found a comet 50 miles wide and calculated without a shadow of a doubt it will strike the earth in 30 days. Striking the Pacific Ocean it will completely wipe out all coastal areas.Sending clouds of debris into the upper atmosphere blocking out sunlight for years and plunging the earth into an ice age extinction. What do you do? - Tell the government so that they may somehow send up a huge nuke to blow it into pieces? Well, all you done is take one comet and turn it into 50,000 that will all hit the earth. - Tell the media, with NASA confirming that it will hit the earth. People freak out, mass looting, anarchy and chaos erupts and fills the earth in its last month. - Tell no one. Burn the papers, destroy the hard drives and hope no one else sees it coming. Pros: No mass panic in earths last days. Cons: No final goodbyes to loved ones... but who cares we'll all be dead before we knew what happened. Intresting to think about.

The situation you've described is absurd and impossible: every object even close to that size has been catalogued and so forth. If we found something that size on a collision course, we'd know years in advance. More likely we'd find a much smaller asteroid, on the order of 1-5 miles, and 3-6 months minimum in advance. 50 miles would wipe out basically all life on Earth; very very few asteroids of that size even exist in the solar system. And, of course, a comet would be extremely obvious for obvious reasons 23 Member EVE Video makers: save bandwidth! Use the H.264 AutoEncoder! (updated)

Darwinia Minmatar	Posted - 2007.09.30 09:28:00 - [24] Just to derail this discussion a bit. The whole 'splitting one dangerous object into many smaller dangerous one is bad' argument is hogwash. Splitting an incoming object into many smaller would have several advantages. While the affected area of impact would be larger, far more of it would burn in the atmosphere and the whole impact would be distributed over a larger area, so there is less chance of it triggering fault lines and rising minerals into the atmosphere to create acid rain. In case of an ocean impact, the fragments have far less chance of punching trough the ocean bed and the interference from several impacts is likely to reduce tsunamis. ------------------------ I don't believe in sigs.

No. The smaller pieces will also be radioactive. And the 'smaller' pieces wont be small enough for them to burn up in the atmosphere either. see what a 'small' asteroid/comet can do The Tunguska event, sometimes called the Tunguska explosion, was a massive explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya (Under Rock) Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai of Russia, between 7:00 and 8:00 AM on June 30, 1908. The explosion was most likely caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet fragment at an altitude of 5 to 10 kilometers (3û6 mi) above Earth's surface. Different studies[1] yielded varying estimates for the meteor's size, including 60 meters[2], 90 to 190 meters[3] and up to 1200 meters in diameter[4]. Although the meteor or comet is considered to have burst prior to hitting the surface, this event is still referred to as an impact event. The energy of the blast was estimated to be between 10 and 20 megatons[5] of TNT ù 1,000 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The explosion felled an estimated 80 million trees over 2,150 square kilometers (830 sq mi). It is estimated to have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. The Tunguska event is the largest impact event in recent history. An explosion of this magnitude had the potential to devastate large metropolitan areas had it occurred over a large city. This possibility has helped to spark discussion of ways to potentially stop large asteroids or comets from hitting Earth. Good luck trying to blow up a large asteroid or comet. Chances are also that the ateroids own gravity will make it reassemble itself. Call to arms!!!

Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2007.09.30 10:55:00 - [29] Seeing as nukes are either dropped from bombers or launched as missiles using GPS to find their target, how exactly do they fire nukes into space to hit an asteroid? My opinion is that you do nothing. The government(s) would not tell the populace in my opinion as that would cause a global breakdown and there's always the slight chance it may miss or something else happen (Be swung off course by the moon's gravity on the way?)

To be honest we should launch or sonsider building then launching a small ship/probe for these kind of things, just to make us rest better at night if thats all it ends up as. A thing that can move around the solar system to some degree to an asteroid, then continuously fire a laser in its side to produce thrust on the asteroid. After a year or so that would have changed its course considerably, problem solved Originally by: CCP Morpheus Post with your alt.

Nachshon Caldari Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.09.30 15:35:00 - [40] You know, people bash the nuking solution by saying "Then you have 1000 little comets hitting the Earth" You forgot that each of those little comets will burn up partially in the atmosphere. Not to mention, with a nuke, a sizeable section of the comet will be completely vaporized. But I recommend using more than one nuke. Maybe 100. And if there is nothing I can do to stop it, and we're probably going to die... well, I'd call a certain friend of mine and ask her to marry me before we all die. ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship.

All it would take is a little nudge, over time that nudge would would be enough to move it's trajectory a lot. Also although highly unlikely it would be possible if the comet came from a highly eccentric orbit under cover of the sun. Unlikely, but possible.

ReaperOfSly Gallente Lyrus Associates M. PIRE	Posted - 2007.10.02 10:17:00 - [61] Thing is, you can't have 100% certainty of an impact. If the only things involved were the meteor and the earth, then yes - you could have 100% certainty. But you also have the moon, the sun, and various other minor gravitational influences. The 2-body problem is solvable. The n-body problem for n>2 is not. It is only estimatable. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirjava Lothian Quay Industries Zzz	Posted - 2007.10.02 10:20:00 - [62] Given the replies to the topic, would people be in favour of an international effort to get a few nukes or a laser satelite like mentioned earlier into orbit so as to intercept anything we may spot a little on the late side?

I just wish I had a skill to make the asshat list :)

Well, all you done is take one comet and turn it into 50,000 that will all hit the earth. [quote This. As DS said, if fit from the right angle, it could change the astroids direction. And I guess it would be cool to acualy use the nukes we have, even if we'll all die if the astroid hits. :S
