End of the world in 2135
Would you be afraid if you knew that the end of the world in 2135 is a reality?
You may not have, I do not, but many people have.
2135 is the inevitable year for that to happen. It is the year of Benu, the doomsday asteroid, they say.
Many scientists say NASA will be unable to stop the attack of this deadly asteroid. If this really happens, it will be the end of the human race.
But the human race can end the planet before. For this, it has atomic bombs, causes global warming and plays with Artificial Intelligence. In addition, there is the threat of reversal of the Earth’s magnetic poles.
So Benu could come here and find nothing.
Benu circles the Sun at 63,000 mph, at a distance of 54 million miles from Earth.
It will crush the planet Earth as we crush a cockroach stepping over it.
You can say: I’m glad I will not be alive on this date! I will not be, but many people will be. Every day thousands of people are born.
Therefore, if the planet Earth lasts, Benu will exterminate it.
There will be no hiding place capable of saving people.
Nor will there be a technology capable of protecting the living. The consequences will be terrible. So, the end of the world from the scientific point of view will not be in 2019, but in 2135, it is quite likely.
Spaceships against threatening asteroids
Scientists develop a spacecraft to knock down cosmic objects approaching Earth. They want to get rid of the threat.
It is possible to divert them from our planet. For this, they will hit the asteroids with a kind of pendulum, called “impactor”. Thus, the asteroids will move to an orbit different from that of our planet.
However, the best option will be a nuclear explosion when the time is running out.
Time is not running out today. You do not run any risk of Benu crushing you now, but in 2135 yes.
Those who are alive at the time stay alert. There’s a 1 in 2,700 chance the asteroid will crush Earth.
So, what do we do?
According to BuzzFeed, government scientists have an official plan for the case.
They have created a spacecraft for any large asteroid approaching Earth. They want to destroy them with a nuclear explosion.
They develop the Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response (HAMMER) project to save Earth. A kind of technological Jesus Christ.
HAMMER is a collaboration between the National Nuclear Security Administration, NASA and two Department of Energy weapons labs.
HAMMER’s performance
The HAMMER spacecraft will drive its 8.8-ton volume, called a pendulum, against the menacing rock. The other option is to steer a nuclear device and fire it at the asteroid.
“If the asteroid is small enough, and we detect it early enough, we can do it with the impactor,” physicist David Dearborn of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory told BuzzFeed News. “The impactor is not as flexible as the nuclear option when we really want to change the speed of the body in a hurry.”
“Smart people are taking this seriously and thinking carefully about what might be done,” MIT impact expert Richard Binzel told BuzzFeed News. “These are reasonable ideas — well thought out,” he said of the HAMMER proposal, which seeks to design a feasible spacecraft capable of deflecting an asteroid, either by impact or by nuclear explosion.
Time is the most important factor
The secret is to look at the sky continuously with the appropriate equipment.
This can save mankind from many problems later:
“Time is the most important factor,” Binzel said, referring to the search for dangerous asteroids. “If you have more time, this problem gets a lot easier.”
For example, they only spotted the interstellar asteroid [Oumuamua] in October. Oumuamua is as big as Benu.
So, finding them quickly is essential because there would be time to hit them with a nuclear missile. This would be the only way to prevent the impact against the Earth.
Deaborn said current levels of United States nuclear warhead are enough to deflect the asteroid. He points out, however, that more powerful nuclear bombs would be more important.
But experts are not only concerned with deflecting or destroying asteroids.
Early detection of threatening rocks is a major factor.
Today, astronomers know only one-third of the asteroids with more than 460 meters of Earth.
Experts say NASA needs to maintain the prioritization of detection.
After all, the threat of the end of the world is a reality even for Stephen Hawking.
He did not know the end-time date, but he talked a lot about it while he lived.
What I think
Do you know what I think?
Worse than asteroids are space junk. Some threatening to fall on our heads.
A good example is China’s space station.
It is currently out of control and can drop at any moment on Earth.
No one knows where.
Therefore, prepare your helmets, for the Chinese space station can fall on the head of any person.
I hope it falls into the sea, in a place where there is no ship.
