The popular Jupiter Shield theory proposes that the planet acts like a giant space shield due to its huge mass causing it to suck in or deflect dangerous debris.
However, this shield theory is slowly falling out of favor and one of the leading critics is space expert Kevin Grazier. [Kevin R. Grazier, Ph.D.]
He's published several papers explaining why he thinks Jupiter is a "sniper rather than a shield".
Recently, he's been aiming to prove how this 'sniper-like' process works.
Grazier's extensive work could put the Jupiter Shield theory in jeopardy.
He told Gizmodo: "Actually, I wouldn't say that it's in jeopardy -- I would say that it has been laid to rest.
"Our simulations show that Jupiter is just as likely to send comets at Earth as deflect them away, and we've seen that in the real solar system."

The writing has definitely been tarded down. Thanks BenLurkin.

Horrors - well the only way to solve this must be Totalitarian World Government.
The Delusional Lying Left will figure out some convoluted way to make this another excuse for their nightmare dream of One World Totalitarian Government.
There’s a brain bug on Europa.
Tax the hell out of Americans, that will solve it
1. Invent a new danger
2. Tell people they need to be terrified
3. Profit!
Asteroids from Jupiter I’m not worried about. Now if we were having Assteroids flung at us from say, Uranus, I’d worry.
Climate Change and/or Trump’s Fault.
Time to blow Jupiter out of the sky. /sarc
Its not just a matter of deflecting though. Jupiter absorbs stray stuff.
This is an act of war. Will Pelosi step up and approve a retaliatory strike on the Jovians?
Ive said that for years. An asteroid or comet passing Jupiter has a chance to fling the projectile away from earth or towards earth. So many possibilities. The possibilities are unlimited actually.
A big rock coming into the solar system on the opposite side of the solar system from Jupiter means the Jovian mass has much less if any effect
Clearly, we need more Jupiter control to end Jupiter violence.
Is this the same ‘scientist’ who said the glaciers would be melted by 2020?
Warns
Okay. What am I supposed to do?
Duck?
Shelter in place?
Reduce carbon emissions?
I’m sure it’s like any vacuum cleaner. Once the bag is full, it needs to be emptied.
Jupiter is a sovereign planet and the USA must recognize its unique contributions to our solar sustem.
Accept your galactic beatdown. < /s >
Is this the same ‘scientist’ who said the glaciers would be melted by 2020?
Or the one who said we’d be out of oil by the 1990’s?
Or the idiot who said our population would be so large by 2000 that we’d be starving to death?
Or the one who said killer bees from Africa would kill off our bees making crops requiring pollination to cease to exist?
