      +Dean Calaway Yes exactly. In the same way in the Elite Dangerous universe your ship can travel 1000x the speed of light without the improbability or natural physical effects that would incur in reality.

    0:50 about the length of a blue whale. "Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more."

    0:55 Someone screwed up their units.
    Jake says 28,600 MPH. Text says 46,027.2 km/s. That's just...what? Those are so far apart it's crazy.
    ACTUAL conversion: 28,600 MPH would be about equal to 12,800 m/s or 46,000 km/h, both rounded to 3 sig-figs. Although, without rounding, you get 46,027.2 km/h...so there's your error.
    Just to play around with it some more, 46,027.2 km/s would convert to 1.66e8 km/h or 1.02e8 MPH. Also, it would be 15.35% the speed of light. A meteor that big going that fast would make the earth stop existing in a single piece and start existing in several thousand pieces.
    The moral of the story is: GET YOUR UNITS RIGHT! (You kids in school wonder why you get docked for omitting units in your answer? There's why.)

    • @DFX2KX
      @DFX2KX 9 років тому

      +Manabender I dind't notice that until you said something. That... That's a BIG difference. I think a meteor of that size, going that fast, would make a noticeable dent in just about ANYTHING it ran into.

      +Chea Resan The only life we could send would be life that we already have on Earth, and none of the planets in our solar system that we've discovered so far are habitable by life forms from Earth without some degree of modification to the way of living on that planet. So we could send life, but unless it somehow found a planet somewhere with similar conditions to what we have on Earth, the life would die pretty quickly.

    What would happen if the moon at a few miles an hour crashed into Earth? Would it maintain it's shape or would it crumble, and how so would it react? I'm almost certain everything would be killed from their two gravities pulling everything together.
    Say that it was just placed touching the earth somewhere in a desert, would we be able to jump in the air and stay up for longer if we were near it from it's pull?
    I don't know who is interrested in this?

    Let me guess Jake, you've been reading Seveneves haven't you? If not, then definitely do. The first part of the book is all about catastrophic meteors entering the atmosphere. Also for those intrigued, small spoiler ahead revealing the origin of the meteors. It is revealed super early but still.

    The meteors hitting Earth are shards of the now fragmented Moon.

In fact it makes answering that question even harder because where did the life on the astroid come from?

The largest ever detonated was only 50, and after that, the project was made redundant. They got the outcome they wanted, and in fact, was only half the size of the originally intended. Russia do care about fallout, and how it can affect the land and them, despite what you read about Chernobyl. They scrapped the project after realising it was far too dangerous to make nuclear bombs like the one they did.

      +Milenos We come from bacteria that had evolved over millions of years, though in a sense, yes.
      When a planet is born, it's essentially a big ball of lava, created from friction in the protoplanetary cluster. It cooled over time, and was struck by asteroids containing large amounts of water, which turned into earth's oceans.
      We can't say for certain when or which one did it, but with water, comes life.
      And there you have it, the real life Ark.

      As I said, exactly when is a bit foggy.. the bacteria was likely there before dinosaurs were eliminated, but Humans were not realized until after the meteor wiping them out. It's not a matter of "this meteor contains human bacteria" or anything like that, merely the meteor contained ambiguous bacteria that evolved differently in different climates.
      Looking at fossil records, humans were around a few million years after the end of the dinos, but it being from a meteor is very unlikely.

      Moon Man The "meteor" that hit earth and created the moon was likely a planet the size of Mars, called Theia. It's suspected there were many more planets (some estimate as many as 24) in our solar system long ago. It is however unlikely that life came to earth in that contact between the two planets, seen as the subsequent temperatures on earth would've left it nearly impossible for single cell life or even extremophiles to survive.

    Checkout the Rock Elm metorite impact near Rock Elm, WI. This impact was less obvious for geologists to spot. It was roughly 4 miles wide when it hit 450-490 million years ago. It left behind an unusual looking mix of minerals that can still be spotted on the surface at Nugget Lake Park; although the most interesting things are most likely buried well below the surface. Also, Reidite was discovered at this location. "Reidite is a very rare mineral created when zircon undergoes high pressure and temperatures. It is commonly associated with meteorite impacts."

      Meteorite/asteroid can be as big as the planet cause earth isn't all that big compared to other planets in the solar system there just has to be a big enough sun to explode and wipe out other massive planets and cause them to collide with other planets and that would cause a massive meteorite.
