I made a thread that tied to this concept of a devastating asteroid impact and the survival of the human race. The keys to surviving an asteroid strike, as a species, are 1. massive technological advancement fueled by economic expansion and population expansion, and 2. Colonizing structures/planets other than earth.

So how much would the Empire State Building weight on an Empire State Building sized asteroid?

Not very much, I would imagine. Not saying you would want to try to bench-press it, or anything.

At least not without a spotter.
