More interesting to me is the fact that scientists say that if the Earth were struck by an object that large, it would wipe out all higher life forms. So how did the higher life forms we have survive that?
Looks like the fried egg was a straight in impact, if that ‘s what it is.
The smaller egg appears to have been impacted from the right in that picture.
Atlantis. No Doubt.
A lot of big impacts are “doublet”, caused by multiple pieces of a former whole, like the SL-9 comet impacts on Jupiter.
The sea.
The Eltanin impact about 2 million years ago hit in the Southern Pacific (I think it was the Pacific) near Antarctica. The submerged crater was found during the multi-year International Geophysical Year in the 1950s, and named after the boat that carried the researchers. Subsequently the iridium signature of the impact has been identified.
Mass populations can’t. But you can find various places on the earth where a society could survive through a bad period, and just continue on.
If you had to pick a realistic threat to society...the impact threat is 99 times more realistic than climate change...yet for every dollar spent on climate change...one cent gets spent on impact and meteor studies.
It’s in the right place... :’) Shades of Otto Muck!
That's right. It is a mathematical certainty that Earth will again be hit by an asteroid/comet of such size that it will cause near-global level extinction. It's anything but a mathematical certainty that the earth is warming in any significant way do to man.
Interesting... Most of those impacts seem to be missing the central uplift of the “fried egg” (or else it is obscured by dust and debris) - perhaps due to differing substrate materials at the point of impact...
Who says they did? Think of it as a celestial reset button.
“one cent gets spent on impact and meteor studies.”
That much? I would have thought it was much smaller - like .001 cent, concidering the multi-billions spent worldwide on the Great Hoax.
“So how did the higher life forms we have survive that?
Who says they did? Think of it as a celestial reset button.”
They left before the impact and haven’t been back since -— Earth is still waiting for a higher life form to evolve/be created.
And the cities are round! Just like the theory says - here are still elephants etc under the domes.
I like mine over easy. Very cool..
the amount of energy involved. wow.
and it could happen again. 8-}
