In the news

The object is travelling at silly speeds though:

So Newtonian physics are no longer accurate.

Assuming 50 bagillion kph is still below light speed:

Your 10 ton object is going to obliterate the planet.

As a massive object travelling at relativistic speed the extent of time dilation might be so great as to allow an observer on the meteorite to experience a lifetime or more in the interval between entering the Earth's atmosphere and impact.

Your 10 ton object is going to obliterate the planet.

That's what I thought.

Oh my, thats the most 2 erotic pages ive seen ever!

Does anyone have a picture of this hippy fella? I do hear a lot of talk of his great size.

This request comes up every once in a while, in particular during times of high meteoric activity.

Was pretty obvious that this was going to happen...

Op-ed and speculation is not news.

Consider the source, or maybe even read the source.

Yeah fair enough.

Its that time again...

The meteorite that caused devastation in the Urals on Friday could have struck Britain if it had entered the atmosphere at only a slightly different time of day, astronomers revealed yesterday.

From the Guardians YTS trainee journalist I presume

well duh !

they don't mean that it could have landed anywhere on the planet, only places along the same latitude.

Did it follow a path that was exactly parallel with the latitudinal lines then?

Ha, no but the earth is spinny.

if my aunt was called gerald she'd be my uncle

they don't mean that it could have landed anywhere on the planet, only places along the same latitude.

or why not say if it had been on a competely different trajectory it mighty not have come anywhere near earth at all
or if it had been 1,000,000x bigger it could have wiped out the earth completely

yes yes we know that
no point in writing a full article in a national paper to state the bleeding obvious

Although a different time of day would also mean the earth was is a slightly different part of it's orbit around the sun, so it could have gone anywhere or missed completely or landed on Cliff Richards ballsack.

The possibilities are endless...

Cliff Richard's balls are the greatest source of error in any of these calculations. Their gravity is so large that they attract all manner of near earth objects..

When he holidays abroad the locals complain of the devastation

the possibilities are endless...

So close to negging for bringing that show up...

I watched the video, almost feel like I knew them.
