100km Asteroid Collision

It's, for lack of a better word, magnificent.

Okey, I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing you're supposed to BUMP, but I think I will.

I can understand a bit. When there is the part of the sea levels going down. I think she is saying: "...and the oceans will recede and boil away".

Nice Bump - excellent video, very clearly thought out, and superb understated graphics that telegraph a clear unambiguous message.

It is a shame its not english commentary, but that does not distract from the power and mind numbing effect of the whole presentation. Awsome is an overused word these days, and I normally back away from using or taking notice of it - but that video really is awsome, full marks to the Producer & Production Team.

I loved one of the comments "F**k bruce willis, he failed!" In a way the comment jolted you back to today, such is the immersive quality of the video.

Great Stuff !

Regards

That's a heck of a rock, though. Nothing in the last 4 billionish years has managed to knock out all life on earth, so I'm not too worried for now.

That'd be sweet in IMAX.

An object that size would break the planet apart, and it is moving way too slowly in the video! They always forget about the quakes induced by the impact (figure Richter Magnitude 15+). An object that size and mass would penetrate to the Core.

Oh, the language is definitely Japanese.

Oh, those shake tables that are used for earthquake engineering only move in 2 directions, and always lack the Vertical component of earthquakes.

It would no doubt break the planet apart and even if not apart would surely shift earth from a habitable orbit.

It made a hole that fully penetrated the crust, produced earthquakes and volcano eruptions all over the world and you still want a core breach?

Btw, this was a simulation based on the geographical effects from Chicxulub and Arizona. I did a search.

The first thing that came to my mind when i saw the post heading "asteroid collision" was that space game called X2/X3. In that game, most notably X3, it takes you forever to be able to purchase a capital ship, then after all that effort you get to watch it commit suicide colliding into an asteroid! pure genious!! (massive sarcasm alert).

Collide a capital ship into an asteroid, you say? I'll have to give it go.

Yeah, BUT, they made the size of the Impactor in the animation way too big, for which I commented the way I did.

Funny thing is, life would even survive such an impact. Earth's orbit is full with countless dormant bacteria. Once the molten rock previously known as earth has cooled down and the water has condensed again, all it takes is for a few of these spacegerms to land. Possible method or reentry: Germs attached to some space debris or quite small meteor.

Furthermore, we do know of germs living deep underground, feeding of nothing more than the little bit of heat generated by radioactive decay. Assuming not the entire crust will melt in that incident, life will survive and spread again.
