That would be the Torrid meteor belt. No one detected the one that blew up over a Russian town a while back. Had it come in at a greater velocity and sharper angle it would have caused thousands of deaths. As it is it blew apart entering the atmosphere.
While comparisons with nuclear weapons is impressive, a detail of the type(s) of energy released by penetrating asteroids may be more informative. (i.e. heat, light, mechanical, etc.)
@ 33:10 no, send up a probe towards the sun and as the meteor passes the earth, rendezvous with the asteroid then explode a nuke in a position that gets it to fragment the sun
This is a good documentary but, like all docs of this type they quickly become dated. The DART mission changed things quite drastically, for the better.
That’s why we call it history. Without our history, we never existed. Just like most documentaries, no matter the content, they’re history once committed to paper … 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
If we hit a solid asteroid with a nuke how would it do more damage? Wouldn’t it break it into so many smaller pieces that would eventually burn up in our atmosphere? I know it wouldn’t magically go away but I would think it would help to some degree.
My thinking exactly. Some of it would be vaporized by the nuke. It might get knocked off a path that would hit the Earth some of the smaller particles would burn up in the atmosphere on entry. The down side is the many impacts get spread out more instead of one big one. Neither is good.
There are actually great videos on youtube on to why it's a bad idea, basically such a small amount would be vaporized that 99% of the asteroid would still be there, just spread out into a "relatively" dense cloud, that cloud would impact out atmosphere and impart the same amount of energy into it, heating it to thousands of degrees. Also we wouldn't be able to use thermonuclear weapons but conventional uranium/plutonium weapon only as it would technically do more damage (i'm not sure on the reason behind this, I think that was just about using one to knock it off course, but basically if I remember right it's because most of the damage from thermo is from the xray emission heating the earths atmosphere up where as conventional nuclear uses more of a blast wave).
No worries folks!! If humanity stays on this course, it will have destroyed itself long before any astroid will have the honor to do so!! Humanity will be victorious!! Humanity 1 - 0 Astroid
Three hundred million nuclear bombs as a measurement is ridiculous because three hundred million of the smallest nuclear weapons would be three thousand megatons and the same number of the largest ever made would be ninety billion megatons.
@@NunoPereira. thanks! I find spark a respetable channel. Though misleading viewers by not being clear on the publishing date, I feel totally clickbaited.
I thought Apophis was less than 400 m? So that would only be about a city/town size impact & a fair amount of outer icy outer layer should burn off. Whatever damage occurs, most western nations will send aide, unless it’s a western city that’s hit Either way, how exciting!
They always compare impacts to nuclear weapons or megatons of tnt, but the average person doesn’t know anything about either of those.. There are so many different types of nuclear weapons ranging from small missiles to the largest bombs, the average American thinks a nuke is enough to level the whole country and when they hear numbers like 1200 nuclear weapons in our arsenal they think they can all level a country. It’s a bad analogy and doesn’t really give people a good idea of how powerful impacts are
Because a thousand billion sounds bigger and is more scaryer then one trillion too some. It also might have something too do with the thinking process of professors and scientists. They obviously think differently then say your average Plumber or tradesman.
The meteor that killed the dinosaurs happened to have hit a sulfur deposit which is why we are here now. If it had hit ten km away in any direction the dinosaurs would still be here and we would not.

@TheRoulette77 do you have a particular bias against asteroid collision videos, or do you just believe that educational videos regarding any and all natural disasters are somehow nothing more than "fear mongering" agenda based material? (Volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tsunamis, solar flares, gamma ray bursts, viral outbreaks, etc.) Because frankly, this is the real universe you live in. These things have happened, do happen, and will continue to happen. This is not hyper-exaggerated; irrational "fear mongering". Welcome to reality "kid" 😉
Actually 160,000 miles per hour. The video made one blunder. Doesn't remotely mean it's full of lies. Can you offer some examples of other inaccuracies?
600mph x 30,000 is not 160000 i quoted their words in my comment its 18m . do the math on their volume calculations of size and weights its wildly inaccurate and past the point of exaggerations ..@@coffeetalk924
It could be accurate, if a 150ft asteroid was going 50000km/h it could easily send small particles weighing grams much faster than 50000km/h. You would uses the laws of conservation to find out how fast
You are absolutely correct. A bunch of lies. It is all about money and grants and funding so that the CIA can carry on with it's secret projects too create a one world government. Ha! Ha! Ha! Open the borders! Defund the police. Create more lies!!!
Well if an asteroids is headed towards us from the direction of the sun , there's not much we can do because it's impossible to see.
your right
See. Maybe, but not impossible to detect. Not by a long shot
@@theccpisaparasite8813 it is impossible....i mean too late too detect
That would be the Torrid meteor belt. No one detected the one that blew up over a Russian town a while back. Had it come in at a greater velocity and sharper angle it would have caused thousands of deaths. As it is it blew apart entering the atmosphere.
Good thing it’s only a thousand billion tons and not a trillion tons!
Or even worse, a hundred thousand million tons!

You have to detect these space rocks early to plan a mission. All it takes is one to slip thru.

So if I understand what you're saying, we need to flood the atmosphere with radioactive material.

Just wondering, why most asteroids hit unpopulated places?
Coincidence
Three hundred million nuclear bombs as a measurement is ridiculous because three hundred million of the smallest nuclear weapons would be three thousand megatons and the same number of the largest ever made would be ninety billion megatons.
Were the dinosaurs the only living animals,? Or how did the other animals survived?

i dont think it was one rock that hit us....i think it more like buckshot when we passed through the torrid meteor shower...

Well if it is coming,why are the world worrying about world war?
Years ago it used to be ONCE UPON A TIME. Now It's according to the SCIENTISTS.
Wars nukes supposed to be hitting asteroids where is it?
Isn't a thousand billion another name for 1 trillion? Why not say one trillion?
Because a thousand billion sounds bigger and is more scaryer then one trillion too some. It also might have something too do with the thinking process of professors and scientists. They obviously think differently then say your average Plumber or tradesman.
