this is what would happen apparently

http://www.ursispaltenstein.ch/blog/weblog.php?/weblog/more/meteorite_collision/

that wuz cool

First of all...it was a metoerite.

Secondly...meteorites arent molten in space...I think that says something abou the credibility of that animation.

Things will always fall from the sky.....nothing new.

Like bird poop

Among other things....yeah...

Once again, one of Deano's thoroughly researched investigations (basically the copy and pasting of web addresses or passages from conspiracy sites) proves to be, once again, full of crap.

chill out. im not a scientist. the video was cool so i posted it.

idiot.

It was a pretty decent video if drastically inaccurate.

Damn Japanese, always have to go a bit over the top. They can't have a regular asteroid, they have to have a moon-sized one.

Not a scientist? I'm sure you surprised the entire board with that one.

And you post things like that to either panic people or get a reaction.

And once again, I thought that you didn't insult people? You are so full of crap that you should be made to carry a shovel and a ream of plaastic bags wherever you walk.

i posted it because it was cool. not to scare people. you assume to much and think so little.

i called you an idiot because you are acting like one. you have started an argument for this simple reason...i started this thread,
that makes you an idiot.

i said that i never go into a thread with the intention of insulting, like you did when you saw my name on this thread. ive told you this before. maybe you should listen.

now run along little one

Pesky Japanese.

cool

shocking
man i hope something like that never happens. scary.

moes gay!

some say a comet will fall from the sky, followed by meteor showers and tidal waves, followed by fault lines that cannot sit still, followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits...some say the end is near

STFU, who do you think you are? He just posted a video, he didn't say he discovered AIDS cure or anything, so don't insult.

Deano's posting history involves posting cut and paste articles or addresses, that contain little or no regard at all for facts or reality, then claiming that everyone is an idiot for not agreeing with him that the facts that he just displayed are gospel. I was just pointing out, that once again, whether it is cool or not, he posted a link that (as Alliance pointed out) has little or no credibility.

As for you commenting as to me me not insulting someone, you began your post with "STFU", so your point is disregarded.

I posted an observation (that if you care to peruse the conspiracy thread) on a members posting history that flagrantly disregards fact or plausibility for the sake of grandstanding and misrepresentation.

I did not post to get a reaction, nor did I insult him. I made the comment that his posts are "full of crap" (in the area of both scientific thought and common sense) and I stand by that coment.

Yeah. Have fun pissing your pants in fear anticipating the Apocalpyse, crazy Japs.

Is it possible to voice your opinion on the credibility of this thread (or lack of) without any bias relating to anything Deano has done in the past? Let's just focus on the thread topic at the moment and not the thread maker.

I'm sorry, but the first post you made in this thread looked an awful lot like trolling.

he DID say that this is what would happen....and its a cartoon...

if i posted a star wars video of a ship hitting hyperspace and said "apparently this is how we will travel light speed"...would you consider that a smart statement?

Fair enough. I agree with Alliance's observations. I believe that though it may be a cool video, the inconsistencies make it pointless.

No need to be sorry. No trolling was intended. I thought it a valid point that a member continually posts erroneous info and sites whether it be for entertainment or the advancement of a personal agenda. If that poiint is missed, my apologies, but I still stand by the intent.

Nah, he said that this is what would happen, 'apparently'; that single word should probably imply that he didn't do any research.


Nonetheless, very interesting video. Chances of a moon-sized object smacking into Earth is pretty damn slim though.

I tend to agree, the thing in the animation looked more like a planetesimal. Didn't have meteor characteristics, nor size and so on. Still wasn't such a bad animation, reminded me a bit of the attacks on shows like DBZ, only looked a lot better. I could almost imagine some little Japanese guy at the bottom shouting "Buoken!!!" or something.

But anyway, video aside, Earth has been hit by large bits of celestial debris before, and scientists have stated again and again what such an impact can do.

With the thread title "A comet hitting Earth." You're new here, aren't you? Go vist the conspiracy thread, please.

Giant Meteor hits Earth.We all die.Martians have a big laugh.

well, lets see. earth has existed for billions of years. in that time countless meteors have impacted the surface. and in that time, not once has the surface of the earth turned to frikin lava. the worst a meteor has ever done was mass climate shift, which sucks for all living things, but amounts to little more than a mosquito bite as far as the planet's concerned. so, yes. this scenario only exists in his mind.

David Icke financed them Japaneese?

as AC jokingly put it, japanese animators love to go way over the top. so instead of a rock, they threw a molten moon at the planet just to say "i wonder what it would look like if the impossible happened" . and it looks really cool, but so does alot of ridiculously exagerated animation to come out of japan. KAME!!!! HAME!!!! HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Awesome. It looked like the dealth star at the end.

What is this dealth star you speak of?

the star of many many deaths. i hope that answered your question sir

well, it seems 'dealth' is an obsolete old-english noun meaning 'share dealt'. i must ponder this further.

The share dealt star of many deaths, the name alone frightens me

Actually, a leading theory today on the origin of the Moon is that about 4.3 gigayears ago, a Mars-sized planetesimal struck the young Earth, smashed up a good portion of the crust pretty good, sending loads of debris into space, which eventually aggregated in orbit to form our natural satellite.

This theory is supported by the similarity between the composition of moon rocks and the Earth's crust, and also that the Moon has no differentiated core like the Earth.

This depiction of the impact is from one of the many sites on this theory. As all can see, this impactor is much bigger than the one in that darlin' movie.

You would think there would be some reminiscent of that in the present day world though with a crater that size, even if the terrain rearanged?

yes, but doesnt this theory also answer to the theory that at that time the solar system was complete chaos and collisions were a constant occurance? even then, we only got hit once...if the theory is true. so what are the chances now?

Yes, this was when the Solar System was new and forming, with all kinds of nasty things zipping around. The chances of a Mars-sized body hitting now are virtually nil.

However...there is that asteroid, Ceres, which is about 600 miles in diameter (the "comet" in the movie at the start of this thread reminded me of a hot Ceres). It's not classified as a dangerous object, as far as we can tell...but, the Solar System is a big and often unpredictable place, and there are other very big rocks too, not just Ceres.

And this doesn't even begin to touch on the Oort Cloud, where being able to predict being hit by an actual comet is also virtually nil due to immense orbital periods. At least with asteroids from the Belt, we are dealing with much smaller, more predictable orbital periods. There could a huge comet out there, with an orbital period of 10,000 years, with our name on it. shifty
