  • Of course the sad thing is he was wrong and the Earth was destroyed.

  • @williamthebrit And the who would care??? ISS crew for week???

  • its funny because he looks like bruce willis.

  • I think it's hilarious the way people will swallow this catastrophe rubbish and bore everyone senseless with it for weeks or months, but when the asteroid or comet passes without incident they immediatley and completely forget everything they believed and pretend they never said any such thing, until the next one comes around then they try scaremongering again. Ad hominem attacks are justifed for such credulous hypocritical idiots.

  • People think I am also from NASA because of my Debunking videos. The nonsense on YouTube is profound. People think they are seeing something different with the sun, moon and other objects in the sky when in fact they have always been there but they are just now actually paying attention. Nice work. I would love to work with you.

  • @foghaze I've recieved that disinformation agent allegation too. Quite comical when it happens.

  • You should look at my videos. I debunk all these crazy claims. I posted my latest video about the ridiculousness of the videos showing a black dot on the sun. People are proclaiming it is some kind of black hole or brown dwarf or whatever they can think up. I will be making a video on YU55 soon. I hope you like my videos.

  • 2007 td is the comet

    not the 2007 tu24

  • 2007 td is the comet

  • i dont like people making up nonsense.. makes me scared about just about anything

  • I liked the Hitchhiker's Guide reference!

  • You need to relax about the NASA conspiracy theories and all that shit. I'm sure just about all of your viewers know how clownish those, and anyone who actually believes that you're being paid to cover stuff up isn't going to change their mind. No need to spend more than 2 seconds on that in the vid, stick with giving us the science

  • In your own words: "Who knows what it will do to us twenty years from now, so it's a good idea to keep track of it..." We need to prepare NOW for the second pass twenty years from now. We can't be short sighted. It takes money and the political will.

  • you count on this looser to know the universe

    only god we trust

    this guy is a fake

  • @wen790 While you sit on your knees and pray, scientists and engineers are actually doing something about things.

  • @TheGreatSparky ----another brainwashed human monkey

    your absolutley correct

    they are fuuukking up the world royally

    poisoning our foods and enviroment with oil spills and nuclear meltdowns

  • @wen790 That makes two of us, buddy.

    And go ahead and think that scientists are responsible for Oil spills or meltdowns, rather than politicians or executives who ignore their warnings in the interests of temporary profit.

    We know more than you think about the Universe. It is older and grander than any holy book has ever alluded to, and it is easy to learn that than at any other time in history.

    Every new revelation about the universe has been met with denial from men who speak for God.

  • @wen790 Has YOUR God ever put up Youtube videos? I don't think so.

  • yards??? miles??? feet????????? wtf???

  • Comment removed

  • If anything as fucking gnarly as a big ass rock screaming at earth at ludicrous speed we are all fucked. If the space rock don't kill us we will kill eachother because we are savage animals (humans) so all i can say is move away from city and dig a hole.

  • The asteroid already hit MMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, the government covered it up!!! Your blind MMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

  • Great Videos. Good information. The erath need people like you. And to the mayan calendar: Pfff... don't give a shit about it... let's wait for 2013 and you will see -> a shit will happen.

  • no it should be your home

  • huh?

  • @lucalucafelrotten hahaha idiot

  • you should make a video on 2012 Mayan calendar

  • Thank-you for bringing a dose of common sense and reality to this issue. It is amazing what people will swallow hook, line, and sinker.

  • I heard,or read,or watched, that Apophis will pass lower than our own Satelites....If that is true, It seems it would in FACT hit earth, with an estimated 200 billion Hiroshima bombs...I believe we will have to do with Martial Law first though...

  • Well, according to Neil Van de Grasse Tyson, Apophis will not hit Earth this time around, but if it passes through a certain window it will hit us later, so they're going to nudge it away from the window. Simple. :p

  • What about Apophis ? Is there a possiblity that a Comet,or Asteroid could be on it's way to hitting earth,and NASA,or any other agency have not located yet,but is there ? Is this possible,or are they able to see basically all the Asteroids that have the potential too ? I understand Comets are as predictable ?

  • see those people lyed on tv see

  • no way im dying

  • i'm just wandering....what would happen if a thing that size hits the earth? how much damage would (could) it cause

  • a quarter mile wide? where ever it hit would be devastated but the planet would survive quite nicely

  • O Yeh Its true that is why I just commeted a year later when this thing was suposed to hit

  • for slower people is this 2012??? planet X or something

  • Have you ever been on a roller coaster? Ever watch a horror movie? What scarier scenario then a "doomsday" story based on an actual event. Ghosts, UFO's alien abductions.... its all entertainment. Enjoy!

  • I love this video because you remind me sooo much of adam from mythbusters :D!!!

  • codmate u dont have to tellhim what to do..

    u should calm down

  • Thnx! Great Video!

  • Great information, and I love your website!

    Just calm down the presentation style a touch.

    Although you are very passionate about the subject, and this stuff has made you angry, it would be cool if you could just tone your response down a little. Not in the content of what you are saying, but just in the style.

    Cameras accentuate every single motion and facial expression you make.

    Keep making videos!

    Cheers!

  • No way Codmate! Phil's enthusiasm is half the reason he's such a great popularizer of science. Once he gets going, it's infectious.

  • Totally agreeing with Anticontrame. Phil's enthusiasm is part of what makes his vids so fun to watch.

  • WELL ALL YOU GUYS, R GOING TO JAILL

  • YOU R FROM THE FBI

  • Thanks! Now, can you make a vid to disprove this "Nibiru" s**t, please?

  • You might wanna turn your speakers down: THE WORLD WON'T END IN 2012!! IT'S JUST A SCAM TO MAKE MONEY!!! All the mayans said was that their calendar would reset itself on Dec. 21, 2012, just like we do every Dec. 31.

  • You're right Mike IMHO. If tragedy was eminent we would get the news by watching the upper eschelon running around with their hair on fire so look for that.

    Media tycoons are in fact descending on the 2012 fear as I type. OMG

    Hey, there a 300million AMP (or so ) difference in potential between the surface of the Earth and the stratosphere. Stick a wire up there and we'd short out the Earth.

    thanks for the vid!

  • thnx man but what about 2036 return of that celestial wonderer? Did anybody made more precise measurements of return path yet? Why astronomers haven't gotten to improved calculations since back then?

  • You seem to be a "Go-To-Guy"! So, is the sun undergoing a magnetic pole shift? I seen a presentation on Discovery Channel a while back which claimed the earth was also undergoing a magnetic pole shift. Is this true?

  • hey im phil . well i dont know nothing about TU24 , but what do you think about Planet X??

  • this is a naturaly smart guy..he knows his shit! make more videos.

  • thanks! i was about to buy a bunker and a generator for my xbox so i wouldnt' be bored in the bunker but i couldnt afford it in the end i was worried mate im subscribing :P

  • dude i got a fuckin question23@!!@@! i found a fuckin little astroid in my back yard i saw the grass burnt and the rock waz in the middle it has little specs of diamonds i check in the university i might sell it its amazing ur awsome thank you for the relef i subcribed u

  • Great job man! Happy to see one honest person like you talking to us of all about this! Keep it up and let us be informed of anything new! ;)

  • Hey Phil how are you doing? well that is one thing off my minde is knowing that we wont get hit lol we are safe

  • i am relieved !

  • Dude... you officially have replaced Jack Bauer as my new hero. Please start rippin' on these 2012 people. I'm subscribing to your videos.

  • at last a dose of reality ! ! !

    whoever these nutcases are that spread this shit need all kinds of slaps

    and what better way to start than with an intellectual slap

  • Wouldn't telling the public about something that could potentially kill us all cause massive panic and if nothing happened wouldn't you be to blame. Personally i would rather have the meteor hit and not know it was coming cause that would kind of ruin the last days yah know. Just a though :) Meteors are tight as long as they arnt big enough to kill us all :D

  • maybe one day you'll shit purple bananas. You never know. Just because you think eveyrhting is possible.. doesnt mean, theres a chance anything can happen.

  • @Chemical117 ill take that bet... some color dye and a banana.. some hours later, I just shat out that purple banana.

  • what

  • well video, you are being pure realistic. and I laughed so much when you said about the accusations. haha, people are so stupid.

  • but your right dude caus jan 2008 already happend only thing that happend that day that i had some diareeea damnn

  • okeej whe knew that but what about the black hole that gonna caus a big storm and tsunamis plz explane to me

  • we are two seconds of a blip compared to the universe, so enjoy your 80-100 year span of life, and stop worrying about the tiny things that 80% of the time are just compiled lies and rumors storming out of control...next time stop and think carefuly before anything comes at you with info and thinking that is true

  • VERY WELL DONE, in my opinion, out of all the matter in the universe considering how distant each object is to one another, i'm surprised anything does collide often, but look at the big picture, ONE PLANET out of more than you can count in your lifetime, or in humanities lifetime...ONE PLANET being it is astronomicaly rare, the ratios and probabilities are something to look at, but wouldn't you consider it being reset after the earth was hit already...talkin about the dino-age here.

  • Exactly phil, you are exactly right i totally agree. Im a person who doesn't respect nonsense and i love your straight away talks.

  • YAY! He thinks critically, AND he knows the singular of "bacteria"! I love you, Bad Astronomy Man.

    It seems like the things that make me happy are getting more and more pathetic. My expectations are so sadly lowered. :(

  • i want the earth hit hard

  • you want your bum hole hit hard i bet!

  • LOL

  • Theres another asteroid named The world nuclear arsenal that will probably kill us first....

    And by asteroid I mean big ass explosion. Personally asteroids don't concern me as much as the comets do.

  • and u were right buddy :)

  • easy for you to say, you live in a giant underground bunker, counting the billions you made selling Alien technology to bill gates.

  • lol..... :|

  • ppl say its gonna be some plasma discharge crap.this isnt the halo ring od death shit.its a plane old rock flying by.i hit my friend in the face with a rock he didnt blow up or start on fire he just bleeded really badly

  • when those the asteroids orbit comeback and hits yellow stone.... think about it KABOOOOM!

  • OH HEY PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE THIS.

    Why am I alive?

    I though I was suppose to die?

    Hm, my death is suppose to be 4 months ago.

  • i want your t-shirt

  • What about a big astroid hitting the moon? that would ruin the tides woudent it?

  • Yeah, it would.

    No waves.

  • What about the asteroid that will hit us on April 13 2036.

  • what about the giant food closing in on your ass? (sorry coudent resist, dont take it personal :P)

  • Food=Foot even xD

  • Sigh.

    How much fake shit "asteroid impact" are people going to bring up?

  • well, if jupiter gets destoryd we would be pretty f*cked too

  • y i heard that jupiter stops incoming astroids trying to get to us

  • exactly :) but Jupiter is kinda imba

  • maybe imba.. but what would we do whitout our loving gas giant:)

  • DON'T PANIC, like the Hitch Hiker's guide to the Galaxy, right? hehe

  • YOUR THE MAN!

  • ya this guys for real man

  • this guy is really cute!

  • easy for you to say, you live in a giant underground bunker, counting the billions you made selling Alien technology to bill gates.

  • ahahahhaa

  • nice man... thaknx for giving knowledge to the common man.....would like to know more abt earth and our solar sytem

  • hehe liare;) just stfu about the worlds ju...

    going to life until i got a family and been grandpah then i can die not now srry to make u upsade mrs asteroid dude lol xD

  • well, I did notice my car battery went dead, and I ran out of maple syrup. I think it's related. What would be more weird, is if people stopped uploaded booolshit science videos, ya?

  • it's only a prophesy of the mayans, they had alot of prophesies so it's not really gonna happen. its crap like he said about the asteroid.

  • Dr.Phil, would u just clear up one more thing for us lazy nonastronomers, I mean, since you brought it up and all... I saw quite a few 2012 doomsday videos (Mayan calendar, etc.) Well, did Einstein really predict that we'd be flipped on our collective axis?

  • Thanx 4 the vid.Fortunately I was way behind the ball on this one (just found out about TU24). Was thinkin 'bout jumpin' off a cliff anyway, but then I thoughht, naw, there really, really, really is no danger.

  • It's already happened then. It's March 22, 2008, bitches. This is bullshit, the asteroid i mean. I love your job, TheBadAstronomer. Thx for the info!

  • Love the job you do! You should be a president advisor on science or something!

  • Do you think the doomsdayists have the decency to feel like jackasses now that the date has passed?

  • Can a meteor possibly create a charge that could power the earth or produce more energy to create a field or fields of electricity that can be absorbed into either the atmosphere or stratosphere to turn on or possibly jolt things, such as orgainic life?

  • But what if Jenova was coming >:0!!?

  • Thanks for being a normal human being. You explained it without all the fluff and made it VERY easy to understand. Anyone with a basic physics class could understand what you said makes sense.

    Again, thanks for posting this.

  • this was about an asteroid, but it kind of went south

  • I agree lets get back on subject. waht do you think about the astroid issue.

  • I can tell this needs to be repeated:

    "Any idiot can ask a question, but idiots like you never listen to the answer. You just look for the stupidest explanation you can find and ignore everyone with experience or education with the actual brain power to explain it."

    So say we all.

  • so im an idiot because u declare that I am & ur a brain because u say so sorry cheif but as long as u are the judge in ur lonely little competition u will always win no mater what the absolute trth I jst keep doing this because it amuses me I dnt have to worry about my ego I know my limitations no I wsnt given the opertunities others have had and Ive had opertunities others have not I dont need to cal you an idiot I know ur smart you just hvnt been acting like it mybe ur right mby not

  • I only act smart with people who give the slightest interest in LEARNING. But you're actions were a sign that you were not.

    There is NO REASON on Earth to disbelieve Plait or any part of this movie just because he said what you didnt want to hear. He had his opportunities, and he took them to become as educated as he could and it is the height of arrogance on your part to presume to disagree with him in any way out of your own bias. He deserves better and you know it. Now act like it.

  • 300,000 Mi, that's not even 'near earth orbit'...I am glad to hear the asteroid is of little consequence, but in our current state of our technology, we could hardly do anything to prevent such a disaster.

  • I'm not going to join the debate because i haven't done any of my own research on the subject. However i will say that being certifide, having degrees, or pieces of paper that say qualified does not make a person the end all be all of any subject. You are not exempt from error.

    Also, instead of just parading said qualifications and name calling one might try an approach of actual substance. If you have facts then post them and back them up, otherwise you're just masturbating.

  • so heres the thing, 2007 tu24 did not cause any problems but it did get us thinking about what could happen. the truth is we know about over 4500 asteroids that pass through our orbital path. it is simple clock work. an apx 7mile wide asteroid is credited with wiping out the dinosours.

  • And no one denies any of that. The actual problem is amatuers freaking out about "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" everytime they see a shooting star.

  • I love the made up stuff. I earn a good living reading & reporting this stuff. What would I do without the loons & doom sayers?

  • pause at 4:19 lolz. But being serious, thanks. This did worry me a little.

  • Scary or what lol!!

  • stfu u lil ungreatful bitches ur lucky he did this for ur ass so u arnt pissing ur slef on that Date

  • and what about 2012.12.12 date will happen on earth.please comment.or sign me an e mail

  • Nothing will happen. Period.

  • Nasa fakes moon landing cuz they are part of the conspiracy ;p

  • I think moon hoax quacks are themselves fake.

  • I dont care if they are fake. just the same some of the arguments that I have heard have caused me to take a second look. your credentials could be removed if you made a statement that disagreed with the established order. I have nothing to lose exept my self respect.

  • "your credentials could be removed if you made a statement that disagreed with the established order. "

    That is just sour grapes whining by quacks who got their heads handed to them by people better educated and researched than they were.

    They lost the argument, got their feelings hurt, and blamed everyone except themselves.

  • wow such nastiness from an alegedly inteligent person. does it hurt to be so smart.

  • No it doesnt hurt. ;)

    Since I am so well read and researched, I never have to lose an argument to a Mcnugget man who pulls facts out of his rear.

    I want to hear EVEN ONE time someones credentials have been removed. I want name address and phone number, else it will be proven that you made the whole thing up.

    AND EVEN IF...

    The fact that someone said something utterly stupid, and was fired for being an idiot is too hard to understand?

  • so what youve been insulting people for is to defend your position that realy bad disasters dont happen so it is a waste of everyones time and $ to build tsunami warning sytems, push asteroids out of our path, or anything other than put there head in the sand and whine.

  • I insult people who have proven their intellectual incompetence, people who reject education and intelligence in favor of rampant paranoia and believing any dork site that you happen to agree with.

    Any idiot can ask a question, but idiots like you never listen to the answer. You just look for the stupidest explanation you can find and ignore everyone with experience or education with the actual brain power to explain it.

    There are HUNDREDS of asteroids out there. Going to freak out?

  • There is a conspiracy about the moon landing. The conspiracy is that people wants people to belive the moon landing is a conspiracy.

  • what a fucking face on 04.20

  • Can someone please explain to me why NASA would fake the moon landings? Sane answers only please...

  • two reasons have been thrown around that I have heard. one is that the belt of radiation the bands the planet can kill anyone that tries to pass through it. if that is true then we cant go to the moon. then there is the money

  • The problem with the radiation is that anyone who told you that very likely didnt know radiation from a hole in the ground. You'll notice that none of the moon hoaxers ever claim to be radiation specialists, and no radiation specialist will claim that radiation will kill astronauts (and I ought to know because I am a radiation specialist).

    Reasonable people ought to ask why that is.

  • actualy the guy that told me that was not in any way a 'specialist' in the science behind the electromagnetic spectrum. please enlighten us on your obvious knowledge of the effects of the gamma radiation on the immune system. while you explain how one should be requiered to have a phd to answer a hypotheticle question about popular conjecture.

  • Well since I am a specialist in Physics, and have Radiological Certification, ;), I hope I can be of help.

    Tell me, did your guy give any FACTS about how much radiation it takes to kill a human, or the nervous system? Cause usually they just yell "RADIATION!" in crowded room and hope the scary word stops all argument.

    One does not require a PhD, but one does require EDUCATION, which the moon quacks dont.

    So, how much radiation is in space?

    And

    How much kills?

    Know the answers, or know nothing

  • wow such anger I usualy see that in people that are ether afraid or hurt.

  • Or is that your cliched response to save face whenever you are losing an argument? ;)

    Are you going to hold the amateurs as smarter than the pros?

  • I keep hoping that you will have somthing of substance to say. insted of discusing the subject at hand you only seam to be able to brag about your aleged credentials and say nasty things about anyone that wants to disagre with you. how fruitless and weak the result. ok if you need to feel like a winer for that its you can go buy yourself a trophy or print out a diploma. im going to be busy welding.

  • I'd be happy to discuss substance as soon as you can provide any. Your last post was more or less your admission that you ran out of ideas and were desperate to hide it.

    All your misspellings were REAL impressive too. ;) Some of us dont need to inflate our knowledge. My profile is welcome to you.

  • pause vid on 04.20

  • geek

  • "squishy rubber earthball of science..." cool!

  • has anyone told you that you look like a mix of the two guys from mythbusters? It is something that I have just noticed. O.o

  • like your style

  • and u posted this on youtube also for reputation and money :))

  • Why did youtube take down the "Danger to Earth" parody response?

  • Wow, 29th of Janurary passed. Nothing happned. The mind boggles.

  • what qabout the mayhen calender loli thought it was true at first but now not so sure (=

    anyways good video (= 5 stars

  • I wish I had this video before it would have answered a lot of questions to the scare stories out there. As for the electrical charge I never knew they where using that as a scare tactic.

    Good posting keep up the good work.

  • Great video! But I do hope one day this Earth can be cleansed of all the garbage so we can do it again the right way.

  • well its feb 1 so apparently he was right lol thank you very much phil 2012 still freaks me out new vid plz

  • Thanks for the video Phil!

    As we can see, we're still here. ^_^

    Keep up the good work.

  • ya so even 2012 is fake unless we can float into space and speed up the path of 2012 thingy and found out its path. it could just be somthing thats just passing by. :D

  • wut about 2012 buddy , comet, Nostradamus ?

  • that shits fake

    only assholes will believe that crap

  • Cool video. Thanks very much.

  • did he just say we're all going to die AHHHHH!

  • even if i was a blind believer...i would believe this over those other videos that were put together, where just looking at them, freaks you out.

    nicely done! ^_^

  • Really well presented. You really hit the nail on the head. Great video and I really appreciate someone reporting information on a topic they genuinely know about.

  • ok im really getting annoyed by conspiracy theorist first i hear its 100 percent gonna hit us, than i hear its gonna miss but cause disaster, now that it missed us they say we were lucky and that nasa was holding back on us, and my favorite excuse why it missed us is because nasa and lockhead martin have secret antigravity saucers from alien technology scattered around our orbit

  • Space ship, planet (htrea????) on the far side of the sun. Someone needs to wake up.

  • damn im 2 days too late hehe

    thanks for the info

  • Debris fragments HIT gatamuala

  • your all so gullible, there was no 2007 tu24 asteroid it was a ufo!!! from the plant htrea that rotates on the opposite side of the sun the space ship was hit by a solar flare and had its camouflage destroyed so it had to look like an asteroid so no one would think its a a ufo!!!

    duh.

  • man you should become a teacher you are really good at explaining things to people

  • Great video! Dumbshits everywhere and disinformation for the dumbshits to get excited about. But I do hope one day this Earth can be cleansed of all the garbage so we can do it again the right way.
