Asteroid 'to destroy Earth in four weeks' as conspiracy theorists claim September 21 could be our la

[dave1983]

Don't worry guys, I have a triangular ship which will split that thing in half like a boss.

that sounds like jackcepticeye

Let's just spin this a little.... IF an asteroid capable of worldwide devestation or at least capable of devastating half / quarter of the world were to hit Earth... would the Government / NASA tell us ? I can't see it - there'd be mass hysteria and crime wouldn't there?

 

[Joe!]

Well I'm glad I have a build coming before then.

What happened to Magick?
He was 100% convinced 2012 would end us all along with the Lizard people.

 

[FTM]

there would have been a million amateur astronomers who would have seen something as well and nobody has piped up

I thought asteroids where incredibly difficult to spot, due to them them being small fast moving, previously unploted and dark in colour?

A very large one capable of actually smashing the earth to bits would probably spotted.

A small one, capable of just say, obliterating a major urban area and disrupting the world climate, we probably wouldn't see coming.

well to mash the earth to litteral bits it would have to be the saize of mars or soemthing to kill all of us not that big.

I don't think most people can even imagine the difference in destructive power between the two heh - drop a little boy sized bomb in the middle of London and people would barely be aware of it outside the city (slight exaggeration but not by much) - stick a tsar jobbie down and most of South East England would be just... gone.

link below shows a nice set of pictures that should give folks a better idea of scale and comparison..

another bit of fun info, the Red Army had initially wanted tsar bomba to be twice as powerful!

thankfully they settled on 50mt and then decided that the weapon was far to unwieldy -for military purposes
methods of delivery were too difficult (i.e. it would end up being detonated long before it reached it's intended target)

I'm sure something like that would probably leak to the press but It's either mass hysteria or the 2012 film!

Watch Deep Impact for just that scenario

possibly not aliens, but someone should have taken him away and maybe fitted him for one of those fancy jackets that buttons up from the back

I'm going to sell my house and spend, spend, spend.
Otherwise

I'd find it more believeable that the world will end in just over three weeks, rather than you being able to sell your house in that ammount of time, estate agents and solicitors only have two speeds, slow and slower.

I predict this prediction will be as accurate as all the other predictions that have entertained me over my years of reading internet predictions, however I do approve of the shortness of the lead in I hate decades long predictions give me the crack of max a couple of months for the duration of tge prediction.

 

[Roar87]

There'd be plenty of give aways if an asteroid was going to hit, for a start the Prime Minister wouldn't have taken a holiday recently

I know there are some people here who know a lot about this sort of stuff, what are your thoughts on the below stroy from the Mirror?

It's from the Mirror, therefore disregard.

Absolutely horrifying. Tsar bomba was an incredibly powerful weapon. Thank god nothing like that exists today. (or does it?)

Those charts are scary. And to think they were originally aiming to create the bomb twice as powerful. Google the size of it, it's huge!

Holy crap!

Brb, just going to kill all of my enemies!
