Just try to imagine what that would be like. What would your last moments look like if you were on the opposite side of the planet when a huge, planet-ruining comet hit it? What exactly would be the thing that kills you? Would you suddenly slam into the ground as the Earth was pushed your way? Would the ground split open from the force and magma spew all over your town? Would falling debris carried over from the other side of the planet rain down and smash you and everything else? Now I'm actually curious about this...anyone know? Like say something the size of the moon smashes right into the other side of the planet from where you are. What do you die to first? | ||

Like say something the size of the moon smashes right into the other side of the planet from where you are. What do you die to first? I remember reading or watching some video about this topic (but it was not a comet it was a asteroid or meteor) First the initial impact will just evaporate everything within the blast zone. Then there will be a flash heat wave that (depending on the size of the object) covers like 40-80% of the rest of the place. And the shockwave, earthquakes, volcanic activity does the rest iirc. And even if you happen to survive that there is snowball earth again, the shit thrown into the air blocks out the sun for tens or hundreds of years or something. I imagine that the air quality would be so bad you'd suffocate. http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm Yea this , pretty sure I saw something on discovery channel too. I remember them noting either mercury or some moon where it has a crate on one side where and impact was and on the other side a little reverberated crater/mountain. bot, there are a number or really close encounters with the comets on that OP program. In 2053 the Honda comet comes really close again. | ||
