We'll all burn to death according to this simulation, instead of the usual ice age theory.

Bummer

Cool video, but shouldn't it be extinguished not distinguished?

[2000_SI]

Now mind you that was a pretty large meteor... looked a fair bit larger than the moon.

Doh!

Where did all that lava come from? It was just sitting there suspended... Doesn't look very convincing.

we need more bell boys:rofl:

slow and boring in the beginning and lava floating in space...how the hell?

....



That's no moon.. That's a space station!

Worst. Simulation. Ever. But it was neat to watch.

Anyways, a meteorite is like 1 meter wide max. That thing was bigger than one meter wide!

Oh, the video just hit 3:45... did anyone else think of Initial D when that music started playing?:D

Not quite, meteors can be much much larger than 1m.

Shoemaker Levy 9 the series of meteors that hit Jupiter were up to 2 km in diameter.

Another 2 km wide 'space rock'

The moon is thought to have been created by a very large meteor hitting the earth.

Satellites float in space....an impact that large would definitely throw up material beyond where the satellites are sitting.

I said meteorite. Meteorites are little pieces of meteoroids. That thing was hardly a meteor anyways, that thing was a friggin asteroid. Sure, a meteor is anything extraterrestrial coming into our atmosphere, but that thing was way bigger than many asteroids. Asteroids are commonly 100-200 miles wide. That one is probably 2000 miles wide.:eek:

Initial D music! Thats the exact same thing I thought when i heard it.

meteors and meteorites are the same things, just meteorites are meteors that make it throught the atmosphere without burning away and hitting ground

[The Cosworth]

that thing is WAY bigger than 2000 miles, when it hit it covered a whole bunch of land, and which meteor goes strait into the ground like that?

Cool vid; I dont know whats worse, burning to death or freezing to death. Even if the human race did survive multiple meteors crashing into earth, there's the threat of global warming, nuclear war, viruses and other dangers we've never heard of that could lead to our extinction. In a million years (maybe billions?) the sun will eventually burn itself out and we will freeze to death and become extinct.

Maybe we should take stephen hawkings advice and try to find new homes elsewhere in the universe for the survival of our species ;P In that case, I'll opt for Mars
:bigpimp:

I say lets just stop talking about it and end it now!

Bruce Willis will save us right? If he did it in the movie, I'm sure he can do it again!
