Under the supervision of a doctor of physics, we simulated the moment when various meteorites in the universe fall to the earth scientifically and accurately.
A meteorite equivalent to the Chelyabinsk meteorite fall in Russia, the Tunguska event, and the Chicxulub Impact (famous for the huge crater on the Yucatan Peninsula) that extinguished dinosaurs is also reproduced.
The asteroid Ceres (940 km in diameter) that adorns the latter shows a destructive power that almost equals the famous (Texas-sized) asteroid from the movie Armageddon.
The video tries to be as realistic and scientifically accurate as possible, except for details such as the speed of the shockwaves in order not to make the video too long.

If you want to know more about asteroid impacts 👉NEXT ASTEROID IMPACT: amzn.to/3QXwQA7 We often think that large asteroids are the most dangerous, when in fact it is the small ones that are the most dangerous.

What got me curious with what you said though is what if it's a gas giant like Jupiter that crunched itself at us? With no solid crust or mantle would we just phase through the planet until we hit its solid core? Or would we be ripped to shreds the moment we enter its atmosphere because of its deadly winds?

*On an almost random note:* I think the best defence against a meteorite/meteoroid would be to treat it like an 'architectural structure'. While concentrating on its structure, you would want to use high-powered missiles to create *'fissures'* within the meteoroids 'internal structure'. You want to aim for weak-points within the meteors internal structure; so that when it inevitably collides with the planet's surface, it will immediately shatter and 'fail to fully [efficiently] transfer the entirety of its kinetic energy' across the ground _(the kinetic energy would spread like a water ripple on the planet's solid surface)_ upon impact/point-collision. Every shattered chunk of the meteoroid would symbolise a colossal chunk of kinetic energy that was displaced, and not efficiently transferred upon the point of collision, so that it would violently vibrate/reverberate (as earthquake and shockwaves) and spread across a wide area.

It'd also be cool to see near-extinction estimates in there as well. I think in one of the most recent ice ages (~70,000 years ago), mankind came extremely close to dying out. I think we didn't have more than 30,000 people on the entire planet at the lowest point, but don't quote me on that. It'd be great to see a visualization of the most accurate estimates.

[@twizz420]

Much less damage than I expected until you get to the ~1km size... But remember the damage will vary greatly depending on the composition of the object. An asteroid made of solid iron will do a lot more damage than one made of porous rock.

[@rabidrobbie]

No one cares what a MAGA thinks.

[@not_glad]

It's actually velocity that it more a factor. E=.5×(mass×velocity^2) Mass is obviously a big factor but velocity is squared, small increases in speed add a lot more energy.

Couple things left out of these simulations, one is the plasma shockwave in front of large impactors. The atmosphere would get pushed and compressed in front of it because it can't get out of the way fast enough. It would hit before the impactor. Another is a large impactor would create a plume of debris that would rise up its path as it plows a vacuum channel through the atmosphere. Large impacts will create a rebound peak in the center. You can actually see these in some of the ancient lake craters in Canada.

I love how with the larger asteroids you see effects of it hitting atmosphere initially. The classic movie scene of where we see it flying through sky slowly is unrealistic.

Yeah, the K-Pg impactor was moving so quickly that the pressure wave was already carving out the crater while it was still in space, and it punched a hole clear through the atmosphere and led to a vacuum effect that would've ejected Earth materials far out into space. There are probably chunks of Dinosaur as far out as Jupiter, maybe even further, depending on the position of planets in relation to Earth.

The Ceres impact gave me chills with the religious chanting, like watching two ancient gods waging war.

What's even crazier is that if Theia had never collided with Earth we wouldn't even be here.

[@supremercommonder]

A asteroid the size of 100km has never hit the earth while life has existed on earth. The biggest asteroid that ever hit the earth is 12-15km max

[@DeathBYDesign666]

@XENENEX Fortunately the bigger ones of that size are almost all confined to the astroid belt in stable orbits or well beyond the large bodies in the Oort cloud. The initial period of accretion ate them all up and became part of the major bodies in the solar system. They did make a movie about an asteroid that size hitting the earth, it's was about 70 miles in diameter and the movie was "Seeking a Friend For the End of the World". Some people in it were acting as if survival was an option, with small underground bunkers but the millions of large fragments would have taken them out as well. Life itself might never come back from such an event since like the last guy said it's never happened since life emerged on planet earth.

[@Gyrfalcon312]

With the last one, we don't have to worry about seas, much less oceans existing. The fireball would vaporize nearly every drop of water on the planet... just going by the visuals here.

[@DDlambchop43]

this is beautifully done and well researched, I applaud you. If I could make one little suggestion; if you redo this one, add a Venus or Theia size impact to show the effects of the Earth either completely shattering to bits or blowing off material to create another Moon.

Love the work! Big fan!!! The chixalub impactor was so devastating it’s hard comprehend. I would love to see your interpretation of not just the initial impact event, but the effects of the millions of tons of ejecta that re-entered the atmosphere, and literally boiled our planet! :)

[@ilmanlynn]

How about Ceres?

[@ilmanlynn]

Ceres it’s so big it’s covers the whole earth with fire

[@blakearius]

@@ilmanlynn Ceres is the biggest asteroid in our solar system, It's an unlikely hypothetical that would crack our crust like an egg, ignite the atmosphere and would require speculation and simulated physics to get an answer on how the planet deforms. Meanwhile the chixalub impact did happen, recently in the history of earth and came pretty close to ending complex life. Theres alot more data and its alot more interesting.

[@Robert..j]

I don't think Ceres is wondering asteroid but stays safely in asteroid belt between the inner planets and the outer ones.

The ones to be worried about are those 20 meter ones. they happen semi-frequently, are near impossible to spot, and can cause destruction if it hits just right.

The production quality of this is through the roof! I really enjoyed this unique presentation. It's amazing to see how far this channel has come.

[@randomfatkidonyoutube1400]

[@erikswanson5753]

Earth collided with a very large object quite early in its' history. Probably larger than Ceres depicted here, which most probably led to the birth of our moon. Fortunately, at the time, Earth was pretty much still in a molten state. The frequency of some of these asteroids was a bit closer than I'm comfortable with.

[@ianjames1754]

It is speculated that the Earth collided with Theia, a planet almost the size of Mars around four billion years ago. The result was an increase in Earth’s mass and size, and the majority of the ejecta flung into orbit accreted and became The Moon. Other smaller chunks that were flung further away in the billions of years following the collision were probably responsible for the heavy bombardment of the Lunar surface, come to think of it…

[@LendriMujina]

Yeah; it was _absolutely_ larger than Ceres if the Moon was a fragment of it, because even the Moon is much larger than Ceres. Theia is believed to have been the size of _Mars._

[@davecrupel2817]

Apophis is the one that scares the fuck out of me. That one *will* strike Earth sooner or later, if we can not do anything about it.

[@totoitekelcha7628]

The so called birth of the moon is the most pathetic and garbage story forcefully put upon us by LGBT scientist.

[@MrInuhanyou123]

​@@davecrupel2817based on those asteroid test recently it seems like we can deflect it's orbit. The ones we don't have to worry about are the ones we have already recorded into databases somewhere i would say

[@de-tached]

I do love the underlying humour and psychology of the locations for each impact. Especially the church music for the God/Planet impact event. Gave me a good tickle :)

[@funnyguy-ko9mc]

Respects to this man for throwing asteroids at the earth just for this video.

[@jigwignibs]

What a fantastic video. The research into it was great despite there being a few errors. Namely the Ceres impact time. Probably one of my favourite impact simulations.

[@houstonsmitherman6888]

Also , the explosion isn't the only bad thing going on... if the planet survives the initial blast then we got to worry about the purest form of chaos that will very shortly follow

[@eddwardmusic]

from climate changes to years of nights and winter to death of millions of species of flora and fauna, economical death, the whole idea of humanity, society, everything will be gone and that's just a 1km asteroid. ONE DAMN KM! Like from my home to the next store and the whole world is gone, damn. Funny that after knowing all this info, people are still fking with money, place in society, wars and hate... we are so worthless

[@GalCon99]

I have a feeling that if Ceres were to crash into Earth we wouldn't have to worry about the chaos that follows at any point afterwards at all...

[@villebooks]

What do you mean by 'we' then?

[@evilsharkey8954]

It has survived several of the smaller ones without issue. The Tunguska event happened in the middle of nowhere. In human history, volcanoes have done more damage than any of the meteor impacts. Now, the impacts that happened long before we showed up are another matter. Not too many humans would survive a Chicxulub type event, at least not for the duration of the nuclear winter that would follow.

[@houstonsmitherman6888]

@Maarten Allegaert nah you're right that would kill all of us almost instantly

[@yusufyldrm3217]

6:33 turkey: wtf man..

[@1992jamo]

That's interesting. But surely the angle and velocity of the impact is important. I'd also imagine some of the larger impacts would evacuate most of our atmosphere away. Also with an astroid as large as Ceres, I'd expect gravity to start ripping it apart before impact

[@user-mx4qo6pq1m]

Yes, Ceres couldn't make it through the Roche Limit.

[@Xpwnxage]

What does that mean "evacuate the atmosphere"? Like it takes the atmosphere away from Earth? Would it ever regenerate?

[@1992jamo]

​@@Xpwnxage Yeah exactly right. Our atmosphere is pretty much just a film over the planet, and many other planets have actually lost their atmosphere over time. It would not regenerate, it would just be gone. Scary.

[@Reddragon5002]

​@1992jamo Actually, it would regenerate, it would just take millions of years. The nitrogen, argon, oxygen, etc., in our atmosphere would eventually return once the planet (and the small moon this last impact might create) cooled off enough.

[@dmitriy9053]

Only if in orbit, with direct collision like in the video Ceres is in a quick free fall, so no ripping apart. It is possible to rip apart if the speed is slow when there is difference in acceleration for a long enough time, but with direct collision I doubt it, 20 km/sec is too fast. It will probably deform Ceres towards Earth.
