Huge Asteroid Impact

PostHuge Asteroid Impact by **Dr. Buckles** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 11:27 am

A computer simulation of what the destruction of the Earth by a 500km asteroid might look like.

So, if this has happed that many times before. Makes you think how advanced we could have been. How far do you think, technology wise and even culturally we could of been before. And then to start all over again. Bit deep for a Tuesday morning? Nah.

Pfft, I could survive that.

I'm really depressed now.

I would doubt that 'we' were that advanced previously. We would have found some sort of evidence of previous cultures, although any culture that would have been around before such an impact is unlikely to have much in common with our race whatsoever.

Don't worry, saviour is at hand.

500km asteroid? It's a sodding planetoid!

At least it'll dry up some of the rain, and just think of the travel costs, you won't have to fly abroad for hot weather.

Very true. Shame we would all be dead.

It almost certainly hasn't happened since around the time of the Great Bombardment, or, you know, before life.

If this has happened six times as claimed do they have the impact craters to prove it?

The Vredefort crater in South Africa is the largest I know of at 300km.

The asteriod was really a death star engineered and built by Microsoft out of all the broken 360's. That's why it took out Japan first. 'If we can't rule the world noone can'

Seriously though good video just a little slow on impact.

They will have happened so long ago that any evidence of them, like the cenotes marking out the rim of the Chixulub crater on the Yucatan peninsula, will have long since eroded away or been absorbed into the planet's subduction zones.

I was feeling alright... but now I've seen that, what's the point in living?

:fp:

But seriously though, pretty scary. Time to start digging a cave in my back garden I think to hide in with lots of tins of beans.

What'll you do when the blast wave of superheated air hits and melts your tins... and your skin?

Keep hiding, and eat the warm beans.

Sorry Gandy. I'll be more positive.

I can't wait for the warm weather.
