Well as a follow up post I have to say that as a species, homosapians are not only one of the most pesimistic species on the planet earth but also the most self destructive, and I might even go as far as to say that if the earth was a multicelled sentient organism, we would be a massive paresitic infestation on its skin, much like scabies.While at the same time we are supposidly the most intellige... read more.
I take it this is one of those "kill everything" asteroids? It'll never happen lol, they keep saying it will and it never does. *Crosses fingers* Mind you, we won't care anyways, we won't be around
Sadly, Religion is against us...
May 4th of 2012, Unfortuantly The Mayan Calendar Ends in 2012, speaking of Destruction and Fire. also  lookMay Mayan  Somone Hug me were gonna die 1 in a 1000 is a better chance than an airplane crashing ( which is 1 in a billion!)

Dont forget that this giant asteroid has a probability 1/1000 witch is very dangereous. I wonder how does a guys feels when takes with an giant asteroid in the head ? . But if hits earth its only in 96 years, and i'm almost sure that will be here to taste it. LOL
he wouldnt even feel it, he'd be crushed faster than he could really notice just walking on the ground
Also the shock wave and storm of energy, dust and destruction would flow in a wave for miles. blowing anything in its way apart. 96 years is a lot more than 6 as well
Of course 96 is a lot more than 6 >_< STill though, the thought of it is scary as heck. Even though most of us, if not all (And only counting those who are aware of their surrounds, so babies don't count) who will still be here, will have to face something like this haha. It's scary to even think about it, and if it actually happened now. What would you do if it was 1 month left before it hit?
*Thinks of a million ideas ~_~*
While I agree with those saying most of us will be dead by then (unless they make enough new meds and biotech's to keep us kicking until much higher ages then are common now) I imagine they'll be able to find a way to divert and/or stop and/or destroy this asteroid by the time it actually is going to pose a threat. I mean think of how much our tech has advanced since 100 (well 96) years ago. I'm sure our kiddies and grand kiddies will be able to find a way to survive.
Hahaha that's actually what came into my mind as I was typing that out. Although I'm sure they'll have a more accurate method of doing such a thing by then, I'm sure if this becomes a viable threat to the races survival they'll find a way to stop it.
Nuclear weapons can be used to destroy them in separate locations, maybe 4 at once should kill it, but what else happens i'm worried about
like aliens, Fragments, or even Fallout maybe itll trigger WWIII Latest Entries

While at the same time we are supposidly the most intelligent, although I have to agree with the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, if we are so intellegent why are we so destructive to our world, and so blind to how our actions not only effect ourselves but those that share the earth with us. Now that being said...why do we only speculate on the what ifs, and not fix whats going on around us? Because its so much "fun" and interesting... End of Rant...
Personally I think that people devote way too much time to studying things that could destroy earth from space and not enough on what could destroy earth from earth itself. Like Logan Deathbringer said there is more chance of nuclear destruction than being hit by an meteor. If those super smart scientist devoted their time to studying how to save lives and clean up, find new energy sources, advance society then we would have a much brighter future. Besides once we do that can't we easily dream up some way to destroy possible meteors? And if a meteor does hit earth it will burn down its size as it enters earth's atmosphere, so, unless it is a huge meteor that is really really really big it will downsize enough that it couldn't possibly destroy earth.
I don't see any reason to be pursuing such thoughts about the future. To give an example of what I'm saying here, back when i was...hmm 4th grade? I borrowed a book about the future of the Earth from the local library. It looked really cool actually and stated so many things that would happen in the future and even had a "future chronology". The latest gadget being the artificial eye (latest as in, it will happen the latest) which will "happen" in the year 2010.
Don't ask me about that yet, what I'm wondering about is the section where they state that almost every house in urban/suburban United States having access to modern cities and something like that would have a house similar to this: <with a picture here depicting the many facilities and features of a futuristic house>. Of course, that didn't happen. The main thing being roof gardens that absorb solar energy to power the house AND providing a nice roof view. I don't think people favored that much. I did see something on Discovery channel where some house was SPECIFICALLY built to save energy and collect solar energy to a level that the house's mean monthly electricity bill is about 1-2 dollars. It looks foolproof i guess. But the system itself looks so complex and costly there is no way any average family can afford it. What hopes...they're all just lame imaginations from some guy who needed quick cash. I'm not saying everyone's like this. But most random "facts" about the future are just getting old.
Wow, you people are certainly pessimisitc.
The odds of an asteroid striking earth is only 1 in 40, which is about 2.9% I got this number at Space.com For more information about the asteroid 2004 MN4, I found some from NASA. And if it does hit, it'll probably wipe out one or two cities - no biggie. Sorry if I sound rude, but it's not exactly the end of the world. Let's just see who gets lucky? And, if it does land in the middle of the Pacific, it might be a lot worst than if it hit the middle of NYC. Two words - Tidal waves As for our brightest start in the sky, the Sun - it's got about 5 billion years left of gas left. The Sun's life expectancy. Before then, I'm pretty sure humans would have: 1) Gone extinct 2) Moved to another planet 3) Used various weapons of mass destruction and rendered our planet inhabitable 4) Choices 3, then 1. 5) Encoutered an astroid rated 10 on the Torino scale. Okay, take your pick. Personally, I think 4 is probably the most fitting so I would stop worrying about the Sun and start worrying about the Nuclear stockpile that DOES EXIST. On a side note, if we do manage to survive until the Sun reaches the stages of a Red Giant, our planet will be consume along with Mecury and Venus - so we die anyways.
Want to know what would happen if that rock hit earth? www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/
They have a handy online calculator for neat stuff like this. Also there are several online to see what would happen if you detonated a nuke at x yield at y altitude. Anyway, fun stuff to play with there if anyone has a few minutes to waste on it.
