How Scientists Identify Apocalyptic Asteroids Heading For Earth | Naked Science | Spark 

He must have been on a space ship for that shot

Makes me dizzy. I think it’s awful.

Coincidence

My thinking exactly. Some of it would be vaporized by the nuke. It might get knocked off a path that would hit the Earth some of the smaller particles would burn up in the atmosphere on entry. The down side is the many impacts get spread out more instead of one big one. Neither is good.

So if I understand what you're saying, we need to flood the atmosphere with radioactive material.

There are actually great videos on youtube on to why it's a bad idea, basically such a small amount would be vaporized that 99% of the asteroid would still be there, just spread out into a "relatively" dense cloud, that cloud would impact out atmosphere and impart the same amount of energy into it, heating it to thousands of degrees. Also we wouldn't be able to use thermonuclear weapons but conventional uranium/plutonium weapon only as it would technically do more damage (i'm not sure on the reason behind this, I think that was just about using one to knock it off course, but basically if I remember right it's because most of the damage from thermo is from the xray emission heating the earths atmosphere up where as conventional nuclear uses more of a blast wave).

@@NunoPereira. thanks! I find spark a respetable channel. Though misleading viewers by not being clear on the publishing date, I feel totally clickbaited.

Because a thousand billion sounds bigger and is more scaryer then one trillion too some. It also might have something too do with the thinking process of professors and scientists. They obviously think differently then say your average Plumber or tradesman.

Facts don't care about your feelings kid

i side with moedem , and the kid comment makes you sound like a NY thug or just a jerk@@coffeetalk924

​@TheRoulette77 do you have a particular bias against asteroid collision videos, or do you just believe that educational videos regarding any and all natural disasters are somehow nothing more than "fear mongering" agenda based material? (Volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tsunamis, solar flares, gamma ray bursts, viral outbreaks, etc.) Because frankly, this is the real universe you live in. These things have happened, do happen, and will continue to happen. This is not hyper-exaggerated; irrational "fear mongering". Welcome to reality "kid" 😉

​@@TheRoulette77sorry it isn't all candy and fairytales for you

@@coffeetalk924 their pseudoscience becomes your facts 🤦‍♂️ textbook example of conditioning/grooming

Actually 160,000 miles per hour. The video made one blunder. Doesn't remotely mean it's full of lies. Can you offer some examples of other inaccuracies?

600mph x 30,000 is not 160000 i quoted their words in my comment its 18m . do the math on their volume calculations of size and weights its wildly inaccurate and past the point of exaggerations ..@@coffeetalk924

It could be accurate, if a 150ft asteroid was going 50000km/h it could easily send small particles weighing grams much faster than 50000km/h. You would uses the laws of conservation to find out how fast

You are absolutely correct. A bunch of lies. It is all about money and grants and funding so that the CIA can carry on with it's secret projects too create a one world government. Ha! Ha! Ha! Open the borders! Defund the police. Create more lies!!!

NOOOOOOOOOO
