Default Brian Cox warns a space rock could wipe out humanity







The Small Meteor that went over Russia

[Professor Cox says we recently had a ‘near-miss’ with a large asteroid
No one knows when next one could be. It 'could be tomorrow,' says Cox
Engineers are working to mitigate threat, but progress has been slow
As well as asteroids, threats to humanity include AI and climate change
‘It's human stupidity we need to worry about,' claims Professor Cox
He says threats can be prevented through research and education]

isn't it common understanding that, since what we see as stars is what they looked like thousands of years ago, they could've collapsed since then and taken us out in a supernova/black hole any day?

we should really relocate

COULD HUMAN LIFE BE WIPED OUT ON MARCH 16, 2880?
The date of Earth's potential destruction has been set at 16 March 2880, when an asteroid hurtling through space has a possibility of striking our planet.
Researchers studying the rock found that its body rotates so quickly that it should break apart, but somehow remains intact on its Earth-bound trajectory.
They believe it is held together by cohesive forces known as van der Waals - and although this is considered a major breakthrough, scientists still don't know how to stop it.
The discovery was made by researchers at the University of Tennessee (UT), Knoxville. Previous research has shown that asteroids are loose piles of rubble held together by gravity and friction.
The asteroid is travelling at about 9 miles (15km) a second relative to the Earth. It is due to swing so close to Earth it could slam into the Atlantic Ocean at 38,000 miles per hour.
It is estimated that if 1950 DA were to collide with the planet, it would do so with a force of around 44,800 megatonnes of TNT. Although the probability of an impact is only 0.3 per cent, this represents a risk 50 per cent greater than an impact from all other asteroids.
mess, i'll be long gone.

We could build underwater dome cities lol.

And of course relocate to Mars or in the far distant future Earth 2 that they found a few years ago.
