But what about the stock market?
I think this is one situation where I’d be genuinely speechless.
shit, I didn’t bring enough food
That’s not how planetary collisions work.
Earth’s core is a solid ball of iron-nickel alloy as hot as the surface of the sun. Not even a huge asteroid could just go through it and come out the other side.
The ball on the bottom right, is the earth’s core leaving.
BTW, the book Seveneves is worth a read/listen. It covers a scenario of something very very dense passing through the moon.
I’m Polish, so the same thing I say in any situation: “Kurwa”.
Such a beautiful language.
Lets go!
Oh no… My stuff!
The economy!
‘Guess no brunch this weekend.’
or
‘Haha, missed!’
Fuck.
“somebody is fucking with me”
The Earth is way too close, and I don’t think a meteor strike on the earth, no matter how energetic, would look like a bullet going through an apple.
You assume this is a meteor strike and not some type of planet killing weapon
Or a moon late for work.
Kinetic kill vehicle.
Maybe a piece of very dense matter (neutronium ?), at very high speed (relativistic) could do that ?
I think any matter going fast enough would do that. In the fast going thing’s perspective the earth would basically be just a thin membrane.
Yeah but the projectile itself would also liquefy. Maybe if it was something super dense.
Can I shove that up my ass?
Finally.
“don’t panic”
