  • My speculations about the bottom of the ocean notwithstanding, you really should fix the part where it says "300 meters per minute" though. I don't know if it should be 300 kilometers per minute (that seems kind of fast) or 300 meters per second, but 300 meters per minute, I could easily keep ahead of that on a bicycle.

  • The oceans would not evaporate all the way to the BOTTOM. First, pressure would still be the same as it is AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN now, whether stuff above it boiled off or not. Also, if heated from the BOTTOM, that would heat the whole thing by convection; but from the top, it would be INSULATED by the gradual gradient in density and temperature; so the hottest stuff is at the top because of its buoyancy, and it would slowly get colder and denser as you went down. Bottom would be unaffected.

  • BY FIRE BE PURGED

  • Does anybody know the music that plays during the simulation? I like in particular the parts with the pipe organ.

  • @sdp271 No, I've been looking for it also for quite some time (I liked the spooky theme when i saw this video for the first time back in 2009 xD)

  • That's no moon......

  • like if your listening to infected mushroom's heavyweight ;D

  • As a man of science and in awe of any signs of evolution, I can honestly enjoy these types of videos. To witness evolution in the making is truly awe inspiring. This video is much appreciated and I thank you for making my day, nixontube.

  • this is not doomsday this is just showing how it can happen it is not GARBAGE U IDIOT

  • the music is nice :D

  • In a way, this is kind of relieving. A death from direct impact would be, at least I think so, virtually painless.

  • what is your chances of surviving

  • Calculated something interesting but a little stupid. Those pieces of rock ejected from 1:09 to 2:00 probably number over 125 million.

  • That's not a meteorite in the video, it's a small planet. Like Ceres.

  • The Earth turns into a Death Star ! Wicked!

  • this is look like an story from Star Ocean 4

  • who subed this?

  • oh my god..........:o

  • If we don't develop technology to defend out world this may end anytime.

  • The movie editor is Windows Movie Maker? Gee, I thought only Sony Vegas could do this sort of work.

  • If a meteor of this size had a collision course with Earth, we would know it was coming for at least 10 years, even though an object of this size could hit soo many other objects in space instead of the Earth, it still has a very small chance of hitting earth, the probability would be something like someone getting a hole-in-one in golf from Earth to Saturn lol.

    It might happen, but this won`t happen in our lifetime, no worries :)

  • are u kiddinh me??????? hole in one imao

  • If that would be the only meteorite in the whole universe, then I would agree with u. 1000 of them have gone close to Earth. Finaly one of them will strike! :D

  • Sub: Meteor Collision

    ------------------------------­-

    Dear MeEriks and beloved Earth Humanity:

    There is some top-important information and knowledge all of you must know:

    About Quetzal great knowledge and statements for Earth People

    Through the 7th and Last Great Prophet of True Truth on this world,

    Mr. Billy Meier reads as following:

  • @halo10001 and secure the meteorite is destroyed by the atmosphere like homer said xD

  • Earth got pwned.

    Good music.

    I tell you guys, the love I feel for a certain girl I know could fuel this apocalypse...

  • ok i got it i'd hijack a spaceship and get the fuk out ofhere

  • The rock would not be heavy, due to the temperature. It would probably float above the lower layers of the atmosphere. At 4000C the rock gas has a density about 25-30% of normal air.

  • This looks cool, but it is wrong in any number of ways. For example, why would the clouds of "vaporized rock" stay above the ground? They're extremely dense, far denser than nitrogen. By the time they reached to the other side of the world, they'd be flowing at sea level, with droplets condensing and falling to the bottom of the boiling seas.

  • the speed the vaporized rock is moving and the amount of it doesn't give it time to fall to earth

  • unfortunately this is possible =(

  • bull

  • Lol hot fire is hot

  • Japan certainly knows how to make a good video, I mean, they DID make Super Sentai.

  • BTW: This 2012 doomsday stuff is just a bunch of GARBAGE!

  • @Servonix well, Bullshit or not, it might happen anyway. we never know

  • @Servonix

    Fuck you, believe in it. I'd love to have worlds end.

  • at the moment of impact .a great shockwave would travel truh the center of the eart and would also do a great mess on the opposite of the earth

  • Well, nice "what if" scenario ..of course there are several "earth near" Asteroids with a 250km diameter+ between Mars and Jupiter, the main Asteroid belt,like Pallas,Juno,Vesta or Quaoar (1250km Diameter) but all on a relatively low-eccentricity orbit.

    our 4 or 5 thousand years on earth is just a short time..who know if there are not very large Asteroid big as this in the Video ..anyway if really such a large one is on collision course there is nothing we can do..

  • Does anybody knows the name of the composer for the soundtrack? Sounds so much like Nobuo Uematsu to me, but it's not probable to be him.

  • music by 土井 宏紀 (hironori doi).

    from NHK & NFB documentary series "Miracle Planet".(but maybe this music is used in japanese version only)

  • ありがとうございます!

  • What's the size of the meteorite? I don't think it's mentioned in the video.

  • About 300km in diameter.

  • REPENT ! can't you see? it's not going to hit the earth, but the moon, splitting it in two just like the prophet Mohammed said it. and the fragments of the impact will fall in the earth vaporizing everything.

    Holly shit.. Allah is all mercy.

  • this can't happen within 100 years

  • A 250KM wide small object travelling at 70000KM/sec takes about half second to cross the entire earth. This kind of obejct hitting the Earth point blank has probabilty of someone hitting a golf ball from Earth to a hole on the sun. So relax and enjoy the simulation.

  • Nothing would happen. US airforce and president will save the world.

  • is that a joke haha

  • FAKE

  • never gonna happen...like that

  • whats the song at 2:53? sounds epic !!

  • hm.... i dont feel bad for the ppl dieng... im just wondering what the poor basterds in the satelites are thinking

  • wtf r u talkin bout there the only safe ones

  • something this big wouldnt vaporize the earth... something this big would destroy the earth.

    thank god we have 70-100 year lifespans!

  • ah...this movie lacks some explanation.. it is only a part of a documentary program about earth's early biohistory. This program says that such scale of impact was "actually" happened 4 billion years ago.

    I dont know this theory is true or not, anyway it is not proper to say such impact "wont" happen, cause its not a prediction but a history that already happend.

  • 4 billion years ago an object 1000 times bigger (about the size of mars) than this slammed into the earth, both bodies were vaporized and debris thrown out to form the moon.

  • This clip has become a big running gag on Nicovideo.

  • A meteorite that big, going at that rate of speed not only would push our planet off orbit, but it would continue right through the mantle. It'd be like punching your hand through rice paper.

  • Incredible work. A true horror story!

  • schaut gut aus gute animation

  • lol at the end the earth looks like the death star from star wars

  • Wow, that's scary to think, how life on our planet can change so fast.

  • nice simulation but the universe is electric in nature, any rock wich comes too close too the earth wil be vaporised through a violent plasma discharge.The discharge will excavate

    a crater on the surface of the earth.

  • lol

  • dude, a rock that big is NOT going to vaporise it will completesly total the earth, how do u think we get small meterites always landing on earth? if they would get vaporised, we wouldnt have em...

  • Nice clip (makes me want to move to Mars btw), but how could Big Ben and the Acropolis be still standing at 4000°C??

    Anybody knows a nice bunker to hide in?

  • This soundtrack sounds so much like Uematsu's work, I wonder if it was him who did it.

  • The Big Ben Clock is imortal in the video *-* Best animation ever, I don't get tired of watching it!

  • i guess you are right then. Yea, you told smaller rocks can strike us, it was told about one named Apophis which will strike maybe 2036, but it is only 250 meters. I don't think that rock will take us out, it will wipe out life on a area big as Estonia as i read it from a science fiction newspaper.

  • This video isn't "rubbish," because it isn't a prediction of any near-future event. It's merely a simulation designed to show what would happen if we were struck by a large asteroid. And, since such rocks are floating about in space, it's possible (And very likely) that it will happen again one day in the earth's lifespan. A few years back, a large comet struck Jupiter. We may be a smaller target, but we're still just another ball of rock and water floating about.

  • This is just rubbish. How would anyone know a 312.5 mile wide meteor would strike the earth? There is no chance. I am so sorry but i don't believe anyone who tells prophecies which aren't becoming true in our days. A meteor that size may strike us, but as my opinion i do not think it will strike in 2012, either in 2029, 2036 or 2880. There is a very little chance. But my fantasy tells me that that any meteor sized between 100-1000 neters can strike Earth this millenium. Thank you

  • its a simulation you idiot.....

  • Pretty amazingly beautiful simulation for such a horrofic incident :p

    Anyone thought the "finished piece" looked like a death star? I sure did

  • "No thing is true, all things are permitted."

    -Hassan I Sabbah

    Part of me is glad that you will live your lives, and die, incorrect in your beliefs. There is no correct. There is only the perception of what is correct, what is agreed upon by those observing. What you so devoutly and unabashedly claim as right and true is only what your mind can comprehend, religion and science alike. All of existence as we know it is only the skin of a fruit we shall never taste. Seek your light how you may

  • Science will NOT find anything that don't confirm and support His sovereignty...by the way "proven facts are known for lasting until the next "proven fact" which replace the last one..ohoh and the worms get confused again! laugh! Your arrogant is typical of schizophrenia and grandiosity..typical of arrogant worms that dont know their place in the creation.

  • lol, you can't be serious

  • As far as I'm concerned, you're just as foolish as the next atheist individual out there. Completly unaware of the of the world around them, and living off what's easiest for their tiny brains for them to process.

    Lets reword your sentence, tell me brainless you sound. "Nothing made the universe, it was just something science will proof. That's all that happened". You're up? ohohohoh

    For a worm you guys are so arrogant! OHOHOH

  • this event is going to happen on 2012 check Maya's profecy and Nostradamus

  • It is necessary to be very credible, maybe stupid to believe in "billions" of years. Beginning with the measures and the method to find that out! ohohoh these people ("evolution) are worse than the worse religious fanatics.

    ..by the way..with all the wars, crimes, sexual addiction and deseases, holywood celebrities, poverty, anger...etc...if man is having an "evolution" I rather go back to the jungle! ohoh.. "microorganisms"? AHAHAHAHAH

    "billions" of years? OHOHOHAHAHAHAH hilarious!

  • Listen to yourself, you've just proven yourself to sound far more unitelligent than ever imaginable. You've basically just denied years of factual information discovered through scientific studies, and for what..? A HARDLY proven fact that a man representing "GOD" existed and piled this garbage onto the human race of a heaven or hell? Outgrow your fairy tale and open your eyes. God is unexistant as he always has been, just as you and I will be when we finally die and decompose. Sorry buddy.

  • "through scientific studies"? ohohoh...ahahahahah in physics the absence of a proof is not a proof of inexistence! :) ohohohoh you guys are H I L A R I O U S...before the glory of His majesty with all the universe... your arrogance of worm is amazing..."buddy"......laugh

  • Alright there bright guy, explain to me why you believe what you believe. What factual evidence can you present that can make me believe "Oh, he has a good point". As far as i'm concerned, you're just as foolish as the next religious individual out there. Completly unaware of the world around them, and living off what's easiest for their tiny brains for them to process. Lets reword your sentence, tell me brainless you sound. "God made the universe, just him. That's all that happened". You're up.

  • I absolutely love all the religious replies in this who have no opinion of their own. Do you even think for one second how LAZY you sound by saying "Nope there's no scientific reason behind this-- god did it." I mean seriously, how can you be that brain dead? Be a little more optimistic and consider the possibility that no, god did not do this. Religion is destroying peoples ability to think on their own, stop using god as your fall-back to everything.

  • Cut the God crap guys...

  • Thanks Lord you love us and we are not "micro-organisms" ohohohoh micro organisms? ohohohoh

  • 2.01... Hey, cool, the earth's got a mohican.

  • mmmmm... pizza

  • Just because we haven't found a scientific explanation yet doesn't mean there isn't one. And yes, all living things evolved from primitive microorganisms.

  • Just because science has not found an explanation yet doesn't mean there isn't one. Any yes, every living thing on the Earth is, or evolved from, primitive microorganisms.

  • Science will NOT find anything..ohoh and NO no living thing on earth is or is evolved from "primitive microorganisms. Maybe some human beens act like them, but that's different..ohohoh

  • "Science will NOT find anything.."

    Right. Just like science has never found anything in the past, right? I mean, science has never revealed atomic structure or microevolution (Which HAS been proven), right?

    "Maybe some human beens act like them, but that's different..ohohoh"

    Indeed, like refusing to recognize the proven facts discovered by science, as well as arrogant (Not to mention annoying) comments like "ohohoh"

  • Yes. I pray God will one day deliver to us this ultimate form of destruction and thereby ridding the world of sin.

  • He won't. That kind of stuff belong to a nature like yours (and mine before I knew him); best regards..

  • "The fairy tale we are from "micro organisms" is the funniest...by the way, without God have you guys ever heard the explanation of unorganic life become organic? hilarious!"

    Evolution. CHANGE. Life CHANGES over time. Genetics changes. It can be observed and measured. Given 4+ billion years, why couldn't a large overall change occur?

    The one constant of the Universe: CHANGE. So if you don't believe life can Change, then you say it breaches that great law...

  • What's the music in this? I guess it was created for the documentary but it's kinda good. I've seen this before but thank you for subtitling it ^^

  • You are right.

    Search "B0002IJN9Y" by japanese amazon.

  • if they said that's gonna happen in 2012 im gonna sleep all day!lol

  • Earth on a bad day. Still, mustn't grumble. Have a cup of tea and a nice biscuit.

  • we are doomed :(!!!!

  • would this destroy all of the world or just tht region??

  • Now show me a simulation of what would happen if a 10-mile-wide neutron star hit the Earth.

  • a meteorite that big would keep vaporized rock in the atmosphere for thousands of years,it takes an object 500km to do this

  • Nukeing it isnt the way to go because we would be showered with radioactive rock. somehow it needs to be pushed/pulled off course but this needs to happen decades in advance. And even if there was a asteroid big enough to wipe out the world do you realy think we would be told? go about living ur life. We could be a month or year away from total annihilation but only few people might know. That was a very good/scary video. It will happen eventually. and i dont think we'd be warned.

  • There are only 4 asteroids this size or larger in the asteroid belt and their trajectories are well-known and are not Earth-crossing. There are however a few that are plenty big enough to wipe out man. Eros, for instance, may hit Earth within a few million years and is 3 times the size of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. 1950 DA has what is estimated to be a 1 in 600 chance of impacting the Earth in the year 2880.

  • I died 1:52

  • You are missing the point. This animation shows one of the impacts on Earth when it was formed. Impacts like those separated a chunk of our planet, which formed the Moon.

    Life survived that shit. Life spawned out of molten rock, solar energy and poisonous gases.

    Should the planet go through that again, life WILL rise again. And the meteorite? Now it's dust.

  • No. The animation shows an impact in "real" time. And life didn't survive the first hit, because life didn't exist. The earth was covered with lava. Life began houndreds of million years after that impact. If an impact of that magnetude hit us again, we wouldn't be able to stop it because the meteor had been to big. And she said that forests would spontaneously ignite in the heat of evaporated rock.

    But at the moon part, you were right. A large globe at the size of Mars called Theia hit earth.

  • Yeah, a planet the size of Mars hit the Earth, but that would be nothing like this simulation. The asteroid in this simulation is smaller than the asteroid Ceres, if something the size of Mars hit the Earth the power of the impact would make this one look small by comparison. This wouldn't even kill all the life on Earth because the simple one-celled organisms living in rocks deep underground wouldn't feel the heat before it dissipated.

  • the max temprature bacteria can survive is 250 degrees

  • there is a problem with that,it took 3 billion years for life to form,and in 3 billion years the earth will be to hot to support life.

  • If that thing was headed towards the Earth, I'd hide under a proper solid oak dining table - nothing could get through one of those...could it???

    Every one should head to where the asteroid is meant to impact, lie on their backs with their legs up, all 6.5 billion people, then cushion it their legs taking the momentum out of it...

    What you do with it next, I've no idea...

    All suggestions welcome...

  • well a dining table wouldnt save u i would say a bomb shelter. but dnt worry like this is actually gonna happen and if its going to someone will dos something about it.

  • A bomb shelter?

    1) The amount of sheer atmospheric pressure exerted by that rapid shift of environment as well as the extremely high temperatures would either crush your bomb shelter like a house made of wrapping paper, or would melt it down around you.

    2) You would need a consistent supply of breathable air for a full year, at the very least. The outside atmosphere would incinerate you as soon as it made contact.

    3) Same with supplies (food, water, etc.)

  • The only thing that could ever stop that thing is not a nuke, not a rocket that would nudge it off course. not even a space barrier.

    We must call CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Looks like the final solution to "The human problem"

  • "Looks like the final solution to "The human problem" "

    No, we need CHANGE, not destruction. There's too much potential for good in man to let the evil part triumph and stomp it out (I don't believe it will, however.).

  • That may be, but humans are too far gone to change. We've let politics, greed, selfishness and religion tear apart our cohesion and good. If a change is implemented another party will be dissatisfied and wage war for their own ends. This world is ruled by dicks that will not let it change...let the meteors come. (Jupiter's gravitational pull means it's very unlikely to happen, but we can dream.)

  • where i can agree that people are now corrupted, i don't believe that we're too far gone. Just like everything, changes occur to absolutely everything. Whether it be humanity to the planet, or religion itself. Everything alters overtime, and it will continue to keep altering until we are all gone. Then everything will continue to deteriorate as if we were never here. We have such a miniscule time frame on this planet that we hardly even matter. Even if we're here for another million years.

  • I disagree though that it is impossible for it to change. One does not need to let evil run things, and I think it would be good to stay away from politics as politics, like you mentioned, is a problem. It might take something tough, but I think change is possible. Especially if _you_ want to make change. Assuming it's impossible is a way to be lazy.

    PS. If a meteor like this hit ALL life on Earth (or at least just about) would be annihilated.Might as well just let us go and pollute & war away!

  • You what???!!!

  • "Only humans can do this to the planet. because, in space, things are respectful "

    No. The Earth has suffered several huge catastrophes far before man was around. This is a dramatization of a real event that could have happened over 4 billion years ago when the Earth was still very young.

  • I think this meteor is way to big. It´s like a planet...

  • No, its diametre is only about the length of the hoshu island, the impact crater is not the size of the meteor, it's big because of the ripped up crust.

  • me dio miedito -.-"

  • TRUTHERS, I want you to explain this:

    How could there be enough explosives in that building to utterly pulverize all the concrete and yet not make a single noise?

  • we need help1CMQ ho letto da diverse fonti che un asteroide potrebbe colpire la terra nel 2026 generando conseguenze di questo tipo...è stato ribatezzato killer globale...xo pensiam positivo..il film di bruce willis in materia insegna...

  • a new atmosphere would form due to volcanisum(volcanic eruptions)also small asteroids would bring life

  • lol not a chance, sorry! game over. but like she said this is an actual story of the earths history, this happened some 200 million years ago. yet earth has rocover so much the creater is completly gone. but there is evidence of a meteor this size coming down on us little organisms yet we bounce back =)

  • no 200 millions 2000 millions, more like 4000 million

  • hey, this is unfair. why the impact is south of japan in the pacific? means its hitting my country!!!! but the calculation said its should be in the atlantic ocean.. oh my gosh... could nasa send a very huge spacecraft to push this fireball change its dirction before it enters earths orbit??????

  • YA! DOOM!

  • Why dont mankind make some sorta "Underground world" or something b4 apophis colides, it may save mankind, they got liek 29 years on it -_-

  • The ground below us in which its possible for humans to live would also probably be incinerated.

  • This is the best video I have ever seen on Youtube. I mean, subscribe to my channel and all, but I'm not gonna be doing anything this fuckin' great!

  • Is it just me, or does that lady sound a tad happy as she's speaking??? kinda weirding me out...

  • I'm Japanese. She just speaks emphatically and feelingly, not happily.

  • What language is this? Japanese?

  • Yep. Japanese.

  • I recorded it in English, but nowhere on YouTube can I find it in Enghish. Maybe it's far less popular in English, or just very popular in Japanese, since the percent of people in Japan that like astronomy and buy comic magazines about astronomy is so much greater than the percent in the U.S. Do you have it in English? They say a few things that they don't say in this one. You want to see it when I upload it, or just know what they say and I can post it.

  • No nuke could destroy a meteor(meteorite or meteoroid) that big. any pne who thinks that is a moron.

  • I know meteors can be big but this is a bit to big to be realistic

  • mmmm, no its not. There isnt a limit on how big a meteor is gonna be. Like those damn height scales at the fair saying "Your too tall to get in." Its just the chance of a meteorite being THIS big and then hitting our small planet on a cosmic scale is just not likely.

  • Those size figures would make this "meteor" (note those scare quotes well!) somewhat bigger (but not a whole lot) than Ceres, the biggest asteroid in the solar system (!) (which is by the way NOT in any position to hit the Earth), which is actually so big it's now classified as a "dwarf planet" (not a "real" planet, but a "dwarf planet", however more than just an "asteroid".).

  • Does any one want to roast marshmellows?

  • The "science" here is bad. "Vaporized rock" does not remain vapor for a whole year on a planet. Really hot gas cools down very fast without something to contain it.

  • This is not true if there is enough vaporized rock. If all the Earth's surface and atmosphere is super hot, how can it lose it's heat? Only to space (which is a very good isolator) and to the mantle (which is very hot itself AND a good isolator).

    Of the three types of heat transfer -convection, conduction and radiation- only the last will make a significant contribution. So it will cool down slowly. I don't know if a year is very accurate, but I don't think it's impossible.

  • "If all the Earth's surface and atmosphere is super hot, how can it lose it's heat?"

    It radiates it. Radiation starts out slow, but it increases proportional to the 4th power of temperature: an object that is at 5000 degrees radiates 10,000 times stronger than one at 500 degrees (absolute). The Earth would still be cooked anyway, though.

  • we are destroying this planet by poluting it so whats the difference?We will destroy ourselfes sooner or later

  • OK, some guy said this meteor is of size of Mercury. I read somewhere Moon is bigger than Mercury. But quarter of Mercurys mass. This asteroid looks big as Moon. to me

  • Actually, the Moon's diameter is about 3500km vs. 4900km for Mercury. They're quite similar really, but Mercury is bigger.

  • The size of the "meteor", based on the shadow it casts over Japan, appears to be more like 600km/380mi, making it quite a bit smaller than either the Moon or Mercury.

  • The vid says "The size of the meteorite is assumed to be larger than the width of Honshu".

    Honshu is the main island of Japan, which happens to be about 230km wide max. Definitely smaller than the Moon and Mercury, yes, but in that post I was replying to XFracek55 below.

    Hard to say anything on the temperature issue though. Too many unknowns.

  • Mercury is slightly smaller than Ganymede and Titan, but still over twice the mass of each one separately because Ganymede and Titan have lots of ice while Mercury has lots of iron and no ice. Jupiter may be the largest planet, but Saturn is so much less dense, if Jupiter had Saturn's density, Jupiter would be 111,000 miles in diameter. Although Saturn has 95x Earth's mass, a 130 lb. person would weigh only 10 lbs more on Saturn. There is an exoplanet less massive than Jupiter, but 1.7x wider2.

  • If you were even watching: NO!

  • i shall name the meteorite bob!

  • could be happen in a comming future. its awesome

  • We must call Ouendan

  • dude our planet is gona look like the death star

  • Damn dude thats fukin crazy shit , i really hope this dosent hapen to us at least not in my life time i hope

  • Not sure, but we could use things like nuclear bomb shelters to survive

  • LOL no.

    This thing is so many more times powerful than THE MOST POWERFUL HYDROGEN BOMB EVER CREATED that a new scale would have to be made just to compare it. Think like... a tiny cap from a cap gun compared to the Tsar Bomba. That's possibly the best comparison even though it doesn't do it justice.

  • What's the point of this video? Is it some kind of the end of the world or something.

  • A similar effect could be produced by the strongest bombs nowadays except that no life would be recreated, the planet would become a eternal wasteland

  • Where is your god, now? Eh? Where is him??? Eh? Eh?

  • hes everywere, asshole.

  • he is just in your mind, asshole!
