So there is an asteroid on a path to near earth orbit. And it seems to be potentially on a collision course in 2035. However there are some that say something will happen (conspiracy theorists) in 2027. Space is Big, VERY BIG! So it is more likely this will be in the 2030s based on distance and speed,
The debate seems to be the mass of the object. At present the size appears to be a ‘City Killer’ rather than a Planet killer! So that’s something I guess. The only problem is the path of the asteroid’s impact appears to be over heavily populated India. Africa and South America, Ironically near the Yucatan Peninsula where the Dinosaur ender happened. Although due to plate tectonics it may have not been exactly there. Then across the south Atlantic/Indian Ocean (Tsunami risk). And where do a billion people evacuate to?! So this could cause massive panic and human movement on a scale never before seen!
The mass of the object affects the power of its impact, if this is a giant snowball (for example) the crater will be very different to if this is solid iron!
But some wonder if this is an asteroid at all. Could this be something else? Could this be a space ship? And all this ‘alien disclosure’ of late be preparing us for that first contact? Assuming there has already been some preparing leaders for it?
I cannot help thinking of either Independence Day or “The Christmas Invasion” a a 60-minute special episode of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. But hopefully it is Star Trek ‘First Contact’ (without the Borg!). And in a perfect world the Vulcans will land and we live long and prosper… But even that is not good based on Star Trek’s intergalactic wars! So as the saying goes nothing good will come of this!
Or will nothing happen and it simply miss? Take a look at this video to see what I mean. And give him a subscription and a like. Its a good channel!
P.S just remember that building bunkers only works if you can come out of them afterwards! No bunker will survive a direct hit from an asteroid. And if it is a serious impact chances are the billionaires will be worthless and they have just built a nice home for their security guards! 😉 Maybe that is why Mark Zuckerberg is learning MMA? So he can defend himself in the aftermath? I do hope not!
Have fun and happy days just don’t look up!
Surfwidow!
