This Video covers the probability of occurence and effects of a large (~ 1 cubic mile) Asteroid or Comet hitting the Earth. This perhaps is one of the greatest threats to civilization. An impact even much smaller than this, can devastate a continent and kill Billions

  • to the person who made this video,can a asteroid start a Nuclear Winter?

  • Hello,

    A large impact of either a meteor or a comet will create eject a tremendous amount of material causing substantial cooling of the Earth( dust in atmosphere reflects light back into space). So while it is not "nuclear" , it has the same global cooling effect as there would be in a global nuclear war

  • Very interesting. This is Antonio from your current class. Love the lecture.

  • The end will also be a new beginning.

  • yeah i know its risky but it is easy to do .NASA must ave the technogoly speacial designed nuks to blow up theses asteriods.the world will end by the earth climate not by a silly asteriod.

  • that would cause a asteroid shower unless it was on the other side of the orbit

  • HI im a girl who is concerned about this impact, Telling a comet is going to hit Earth in about 26 years!So the best thing to do is some how contact our prime ministers to build a underground camp for us to stay when it really happens when this happens Earth will return to another Age called the Ice Age, There will be smog covering the sun it lasts more than 1 year

  • But there is hope for such things called nuclear bombs it can help us destroy earth threatling things like a comet but there is 50% Chance that it will miss and the comet would head 4 earth Rememeber The human race depends on us

  • thats why we have got some big nuclear bombs to blow them up

  • Thanks for posting this! I enjoy his lessons. I learnt something really tremendous!

  • wow thanks man im 14 year of age and you've tought me a lot

  • shit is fucked up know so many things have happen already
