Armageddon: The Album $6.75 There was a time when Aerosmith was a great rock band. Then, just a few years before vocalist Steven Tyler’s daughter, Liv Tyler, grew up and became a movie star, they transformed into one of the premier purveyors of power ballads–songs, in essence, that are as vapid as the big summer blow-’em-up movies, like, oh, say, Armageddon. In which Liv Tyler stars. Convenient, no? The soundtrack, which in… |

Doomsday Scenarios – What Are The Chances Of An Asteroid Colliding With Earth?
An asteroid slamming into the earth is regularly listed as the most probable event that will end our small time on the planet. So, how likely is it of such a calamity occurring? Thankfully, not very, asteroids do regularly collide with planet earth but they are small and are usually their entire solid mass is vaporised in the upper atmosphere. However, don’t get too comfortable as it is estimated that asteroids with a diameter greater than five kilometres smash into us approximately once every ten million years, indeed that’s what happened to the unlucky dinosaurs. But surely, big old Earth should be well capable of beating the lard, out of a comparatively tiny asteroid? Should it not simply bounce off us and be flung into the next galaxy? Unfortunately not, in July 1994, the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter and astronomers watching through the Hubble telescope were astonished at the devastation that it caused. Most everybody had thought that big bad boy Jupiter could handle itself and that it would swallow up the comet which was not even a coherent core but constituted twenty-one fragments. These fragments were a tough crew though, one, Nucleus G struck with a force equivalent to seventy-five times of every nuclear weapon in the Earth’s arsenal -uh-oh! There are many factors to take into consideration in calculating the force of an impact, these include the angle of entry, velocity, whether the collision is head-on, from the side and the mass and density of the colliding object.
It is theorised that an asteroid entering the earth’s atmosphere would compress the air underneath it, heating it quickly to over ten times the surface temperature of the Sun – anything and everything that lay under the asteroid’s trajectory would be immediately obliterated. The asteroid would then slam into the earth, hurdling up hundreds of cubic kilometres of the earth, superheated gases and a shock wave, moving at the speed of light. The earth flung into the air would form into an apocalyptic, devastating barrier, moving faster than the speed of sound, therefore in total silence, devastating everything in it’s wake for over one thousand kilometres in every direction from the site of impact. However, that would not be the end of the affair, no far from it, the impact would set off a shattering series of earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. Over a sixth of the Earth’s population would be dead within the first twenty-four hours; all communications would break down, leaving survivors cut off and unaware; the ash and filth flung into the skies would block out the sun for months disrupting growth cycles and causing widespread famine. All in all, not a great result. So, it would be an idea to prevent any such collision, wouldn’t it? The problem is that in all likelihood, we would receive no warning, the damn thing would come hurtling into our clear blue skies, giving us all about one seconds notice. And even if we could see it well in advance? Well, even if we calculated it’s impact time months in advance, there is slim chance that we could prevent it from colliding into us.
Initially, scientists proposed nuking the bugger by sending up a nuclear warhead, however our missiles are not designed for space, they cannot escape the earth’s gravity and even if they could manage it, there are no systems in place to manage our missiles across the mind-boggling expanses of space. Another method proposed was to send up a space-craft a la the movie Armageddon, to chain itself to the asteroid and use it’s gravitational or thrust based influence to alter the asteroid’s course. But there is a problem with this method, I don’t know how Bruce Willis et. al got up there but the Earth no longer possesses a rocket powerful enough to even get as close as the moon, Saturn 5 was the last and it has never being replaced. So what is the likelihood of a massive asteroid hitting earth? Well, don’t start panicking and attempting to leave for Mars but it’s always a threat. The last major collision occurred in 1908, when a hundred metre asteroid crashed into an uninhabited region of Siberia, destroying 2,000 square kilometres. If we could see more than the stars in space it would be very alarming, if we could look into the sky and see asteroids, we would see hundreds of millions of objects floating by us. So, people we are living in something of a lottery, countless Predictions are made with every year between now and 3,000 CE being touted as the year of the big smash. Sleep well now you hear!

We who populate this planet have been on a continual quest to understand the future by studying the past. There have been significant events in Earths history that seem to point to a definite and well-defined outcome in the future…..well-defined maybe to those who can “see” future Predictions. For the rest of us who lack End Of The World Prophecy vision, there are numerous sources of information to help us understand (and hopefully avoid the dangers of) End Of The World Predictions of worldwide catastrophe.
