What’s six miles wide and can end civilization in an instant? An asteroid – and there are lots of them out there. With humor and great visuals, Phil Plait enthralls the TEDxBoulder audience with all the ways asteroids can kill, and what we must do to avoid them.

      Time to DIE! YES!

      Keeping it simple. Mayhem calls BS on Phill Plait as a fear monger for profit.

      If any know this person please tell him i’m here most days.

      Happy to oblige him by jamming comet theory up his wazoo.

      Americans love to say their crater is the biggest when all they need to do is Google images of Gosses Bluff crater in the Northern Territory of Australia.. only about 22km wide..

      • Laser Guided Loogie

        Honestly, I don’t think any Americans really say that. Seriously, who gets prideful over a big hole in the ground? Besides, there are lots of even bigger craters. It’s all a matter of how hard you look.

      • Joerg Klaemt

        @CosmicKiwiPerth
        Looks like you are partially right, its not the Americans nor you Kangaroos, but Canadians

        If people only would Google the matter before commenting,its soooooo easy.

        What is the biggest crater recorded on Earth?

        There are three craters which could qualify as the biggest, because the sizes of many craters are uncertain. One of the biggest is the Sudbury crater in Ontario, Canada, which is 200-250 km in diameter. There are a couple other large craters as well. The crater in Vredefort, South Africa is 150-300 km. (It’s hard to measure the exact sizes of these craters because they are old and have been mostly eroded. So when I look up the sizes I get many different numbers, which I just listed here as a range.) The Chicxulub crater (which is the crater that formed at the end of the Cretaceous period) is about 175 km across.

      I thought this was an article on my X-Wife – how disappointing.

        Good one Old Harry

      Basic misdirection

      Look up there while they fleece your wallets with the fiscal cliff we are all going to fall off…

      If they would track the debt they put us in is would be world wide and not just 6 miles

      Thought I heard that 2012DE4 is going to land smack in Cook Straight

      • Mayhem

        No comet will ever land in the Cook Straight.

        I will be there to fend it off by flipping it the bird.

        Not to mention my disdainful sneer.

          What goes around ,will come around.

      Other than an asteroid shower depicted in the sixth seal events in Revelation, the only significant asteroid prediction I’m aware of in prophecy is in Revelation 8:8. Here it is for your review:
      “And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;”

      According to one writer of apocalyptic books, the sixth seal will begin in 2018 and the trumpets will begin in 2023. I guess I’d better provide a link since I mentioned it:
