Funny how we only discover it after the event... Or maybe its discovered beforehand, but we're only told afterwards :~ :suss: * I assume we're talking about the same thing *

So not the football then.....;) I didnt have a clue until you just told me. It could have hit and I would be oblivious. To busy SMS texting someone important ;P

Sure, BTW: Its called a Near Earth Object/Asteroid JPL Distances can be deceptive as at certain masses and trajectories they can be drawn into our orbit. There seems to be quite a bit of speculation that it was such an object and its trajectory was altered by the Earth's mass. Of course this is entirely speculative as there is no official evidence of it, until it had passed. :-) However it appears it might have a very inconsistant axial rotation now. But since its gaining distance now everybody is to late to trian there equipment on it. Regardz Colin J Davies

Hey so what if I'm a geek! Byte me!Nah, at most it would have wasted a large City, and caused a few quakes and some big waves. But the idea is in an emergency like that to scatter high officials to lots of different locations. At least thats what they would do if Hollywood was producing this. :-) [like independance day] Hey it could have been a mother ship:-) Remember though that this space trash can come in assorted clusters.

Ok Chris, in due respect to both our humours.

You know what might be worse than an asteroid hitting the earth? A very huge deep sky object just barely grazing by at an angle that is retrograde to earth's rotation. The huge gravitational pull from this object would slow the earth's spin, increase gravity dramatically. Suddenly we'd all be crushed under our own weight, building and bridges everywhere would collapse, and if anyone happened to survive the immense air pressure would cave their skulls in. Beside all that, even if we survived the global structural colapse, and density of air pressure, the days would become much longer, playing havoc with ecosystems everywhere. When all the animals died out of starvation due to their decreased mobilty and increased need for energy to simply get around, we would soon follow. That would be worse than a direct hit I think. Of course the moon itself would also fall out of orbit and destroy the earth anyway, it might take a few days though. On the other hand if the object passed by and sped up the earth's rotation gravity would be drastically reduced, we would all suddenly be able to jump like fleas. All birds and planes would drop from the sky as the air would be too thin for aerodynamics to work. It seems like it would be kinda fun for a few minutes, until the tidal waves arrived, but the air would be too thin to do any excersize other than just laying there gasping for oxygen. We would also lose the moon to deep space as well and the days would suddenly turn in no time at all. We would all of the sudden have a lot more days in a year and the global ecosystem would be drastically effected. God help us all if the big object passed by at a weird angle and the planet started to wobble. :eek: Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

Yes that sort of stuff would be horrid but is very feasible. I'm very confident that most of todays interplanetary scientists have got a lot of simple stuff wrong, and a disaster like you suggest is far more probable than they would like to demonstrate. Sorry but I will mot elaborate on this as more idiots would ask stupid questions and as usual overlook basic math and logic to support the teachings of the ignorant academic community that encrust themselves with undeserved honors. But such stuff should not put us off continuing our regular existence as all the odds are independent . kevnar wrote: God help us all if the big object passed by at a weird angle and the planet started to wobble. Actually I'm quite confident that God would help us, and one-day we should liberate our main satellite as a simple safety measure. Regardz Colin J Davies
