What are the odds of a meteor landing to earth, and THEN exploding
2/1
it think it would be extremely painful
meteors don't explode you brainless retarded piece of fucking flesh
but i saw it on tv so it must be true
They can if you punch them hard enough.
Depends on the distribution of explosives on the earth's surface
One hitting the earth is very likely. It just doesn't happen all that often. But it is that time of the year when we cross the torrid meteor stream. So here's to the last summer, possibly.
Was causing a mass extinction part of your plan?
Sup Forums, the famous hangout for astrophysicists. Of course they explode.
Yes, they do. Something that big, moving that fast, where do you think all that kinetic energy goes when something stops it?
no I mean like they hit the ground, sit there for a while, and then go kerplewee
i think it's something like 1 in 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
cool friendo :^)
those odds are spooking me user
No. They detonate by releasing all their kinetic energy at once, when something slows them down enough. If they're not too large, the atmosphere will slow them down enough to reach that point. If not, the ground will finish the job.
Much less than that.
i heard it happens once every 50 million years or so.
i used to think it was bullshit that a 4 kilometer rock could wipe out life on earth. Then I saw this shit....
>freaks the fuck out of me.
so that means it IS a possibility
That's called Muslims not meteors
There aren't that many atoms in the universe.
Look up 99942 Apophis.
...
you know there are far more possible events than there are atoms right?
...
do you guys think people would be told in advance if something like this were ever to happen?
