Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed? 17. Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane which flings rocks? But ye shall know the manner of My warning. 18. And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)! Chapter 16 - The Honey Bee 45.

Or that He will not seize them in their going to and fro that there be no escape for them? 47. Or that He will not seize them with a gradual wasting? Lo! thy Lord is indeed Full of Pity, Merciful! 48. Have they not observed all thing that Allah hath created, how their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly? 49. And unto Allah maketh prostration whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of living creatures, and the angels (also), and they are not proud 50. They fear their Lord above them, and do what they are hidden. 51. Allah hath said: Choose not two gods. There is only One God. So of Me, Me only, be in awe. 52. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and religion is His for ever. Will ye then fear any other than Allah? 53. And whatever of comfort ye enjoy, it is from Allah. Then, when misfortune reacheth you, unto Him ye cry for help. 54. And afterward, when He hath rid you of the misfortune, behold! a set of you attribute partners to their Lord, 55. So as to deny that which We have given them. Then enjoy life (while ye may), for ye will come to know. 56. And they assign a portion of that which We have given them unto what they know not. By Allah! but ye will indeed be asked concerning (all) that ye used to invent. Chapter 7 - The Place Between Heaven and Hell 96. And if the people of the township had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them, blessings from the sky and from the earth.

Is it not an indication to those who inherit the land after its people (who thus reaped the consequence of evil doing) that, if We will, We can smite them for their sins and print upon their hearts so that they hear not? 101. Such were the townships. We relate some tidings of them unto thee (Muhammad). Their messengers verily came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they could not believe because they had before denied. Thus doth Allah print upon the hearts of disbelievers (that they hear not). 102. We found no (loyalty to any) covenant in most of them. Nay, most of them We found wrong doers Chapter 11- Prophet Hood 77. And when Our messengers (angels in man shape) came unto Lot, he was distressed and knew not how to protect them. He said: This is a distressful day. 78. And his people came unto him, running towards him and before then they used to commit abominations He said: O my people! Here are my daughters! They are purer for you (to marry). Beware of Allah, and degrade me not in (the person of) my guests. Is there not among you any upright man? 79. They said: Well thou knowest that we have no right to thy daughters, and well thou knowest what we want. 80. He said: Would that I had strength to resist you or had some strong support (among you)! 81. (The messengers) said: O Lot! Lo! we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall not reach thee. So travel with thy people in a part of the night, and let not one of you turn round (all) save thy wife. Lo! that which smiteth them will smite her (also). Lo! their tryst is (for) the morning. Is not the morning nigh? 82. So when Our commandment came to pass We overthrew (that township) and rained upon it stones of clay, one after another, 83. Marked with fire in the providence of thy Lord (for the destruction of the wicked). And they are never far from the wrong-doers.
The DART experiment has shown that we do have the ability to deflect a asteroid with a high velocity impact. I know that happened after this video was made. It was an important experiment and a fun one to see live.
They changed the orbital periodnof the 2 bodies in relation to each other. Did they ever release any data on any changes in relation to Earth? Doesn't matter what happens if it's still heading to Earth.
But. DART works if we know in advance we are going to be hit. The meteor that hit Russia we did not see coming..You cannot redirect of you do not see it coming..
Fun Fact: If it wasn’t for Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, the Earth would get hit all the time with asteroids. Jupiter’s rich gravity ALMOST always takes the blows.
love how at the end he like don't be worried about an asteroid killing everyone there's a million other ways we could all die and half of them are humans killing themselves
You should have gotten the lesson, start living undersea, or in a cave. The people in Coober Pedy Australia might look ancient, but they are prepared for the future! Even though it also gets frikking hot in central Australia.
Idea of how to stop an asteroid: Step 1: Grab a man Step 2: Grab a nuke Step 3: Grab a gun Step 4: launch that man onto the asteroid Step 5: Try placing the nuke in the middle of the asteroid Step 6: Sacrifice yourself And explode the nuke Step 7: Build a statue of that man and praise the statue of the hero
@@prima808 nah us killing ourselves is the most dangerous threat to our existence. We have so many ways to get rid of astroids that its not a big deal.
1 megaton bomb has more than enough energy to blow up an 1 km asteroid. Asteroid Benu for example has 0.25 km radius, 78 000 000 000 kg mass and 0.2 m/s escape velocity can be blown apart with less than 1 ton of TNT!
@@jaydenkong2283 no the universe is expanding but atoms arent being created. More like they are just moving apart. atoms being created breaks just about all of our laws of physics more specifically thermodynamics
I start to think that evacuating a city can be done quickest if you let the people walk. You close all roads exept for transport of those who can't walk. In a week's time, you could reach another big city walking. If people flee in all directions, the masses thin out. So, if you have many evacuation centers all around the city in a distance of a five days walk, you can transport the people from there.
Thats what I was thinking… If the roads are blocked then any reasonable person would simply start walking. A few days is more than enough time to make it out of a city on foot
That's when you realize that the "velocity SQUARED" component of kinetic energy starts to get seriously ridiculous at very high speeds. And the law of conservation of energy states that if you are slowing down, that energy has to go SOMEWHERE. And if you slow down all of a sudden, well you get the energy all of a sudden too :)
The dinosaurs got hit with a meteorite and all died but that meteorite was like 6 miles wide hopefully we can detect something that big before it gets to close
@@owenhalverson9119 They also said that they couldn't alter its trajectory which means it would hit the planet but you would know about it beforehand which would be rather upsetting. Best not to know.
No one’s gonna talk about all the cool graphics? Your upload frequency has gone up, visuals are amazing and content is as informative and enjoyable as always. Good for you, Derek!
"if u are worried about if the world is going to end by asteroid,let me set your mind at ease, there are thousands of catastrophes that can end the world'
"The chances were 1 in a million, now its 0" ... yet science can't detect over half of the solar system that is blocked by the light of the sun. This guy is a charlatan
For anyone coming here after the DART mission: Page 73 of the linked report on Planetary Defence (detection and mitigation) says that Kinetic Methods are feasible. Since David Jewitt was on the steering committee for that report, I'm pretty sure he knew this. It's interesting that the video only shows non-kinetic methods and why they are unlikely to work. Bit misleading, that.
You know what's more Funny, We're more prepared to get killed by Humans then the Real Dangerous Phenomenas in the Universe which can wipe out Humanity😂 I mean we can't save ourselves from Corona Virus which is originated in China and we boast that we have Intelligence agencies and Nukes😂😂
Aliens may have designed a Trueman Show for themselves and made us as participants😂, Now we have to rise from this Capitalism Self Eating Snake and Killing each other. We have to Go outside Earth and Live in search of Actual Life.❤️
I remember a few years ago, I got to go to a friend's house, and his parents were archeologists, it's probably the craziest house I've ever been to. It was a flat of 3 floors, the basement was full of meteorites of all sizes, some with the size of a tennis ball, some with the size of a chair, and let me tell you they were heavy, they needed a crane to carry those. Then they had the entire house filled with different artifacts (coins, masks, etc.) and... someone skeleton in the living room that they were studying. Yep, quite an interesting house.
It's scary that we still aren't that good at detecting asteroids, but the size of the universe and all the objects within space makes it so hard to predict. The idea of wrapping tin foil around an asteroid seems like something out of a science fiction comedy movie, but it's cool that the radiative properties of some metals are something to think about when entering outer space.
I also find it weird that Space X haven’t mentioned this with their ‘Occupy Mars’ goal. If it’s difficult for us to detect from Earth, surely Mars is even more difficult? Imagine investing all that money only for your colony to be wiped out by an asteroid before it gets fully going.
I didn't get how the foil thing (unrealistic as it is to begin with) would do anything to a spinning asteroid of fairly uniform composition. Maybe it's spinning VERY slowly (days) and then we'd have to only wrap (the correct) half of it? Lmao ok. I'm ok with asteroid catastrophe anyway tbh.
@@JD_tcb it'd be constantly pushed away from the sun by photons from the sun. doesn't matter if you have to wrap the whole thing, sunlight is still only coming from one side
It's more like "If you're worried about this unlikely to occur terrible thing that we have no control over, here are a thousand likely to occur terrible things that we do have control over".
They're both in pretty different niches, and have been around for pretty long. Both have been popular at the same time too so it's not like Veritasium would be gone when Michael comes back...
haha tru tru Humans too.. we have nothing to fear but fear itself So our egos... hurting each other and hence risking going back to the dark ages.. no thankyou ! Go NASA ! go humanity
We've put in low-probability events regularly in designing things, ie. earthquakes (normally for 2500 years return period), winds (from 300 up to 3000 years return period), we've even started to protect against tsunamis (or at least the Japanese are trying). I wonder what kind of asteroid sizes falls into those occurency.
Derek: "let me ease your mind about the earth getting destroyed by a meteorite" me: oh thank goodness Derek: "here are many other ways the earth could get destroyed" me: wtffff
Well, the earth won't get destroyed by puny space rocks. All the life on the earth probably won't. Earth would look like a domestic abuse victim... a bit messed up, but it will "live".
@@confusedwhale yeah total extinction is actually spectacularly unlikely. Life could easily suffer immense setbacks, but so long as a single basic cell survives, life will always return because that's what life does. It's come back from much, much worse before. But it won't take much to wipe out society, and it doesn't take a whole lot to completely erase the human race

Never have I ever imagined that I would grow emotional for the dinosaurs that no longer exist...until I watched this. Watching the excerpts of cgi dinos trying to run from that unexpected pain really just sort of broke my heart. How horrible it would have been to just be minding your business, eating a plant or carcass...and BOOM! You're suddenly in excruciating pain and being cooked alive. How awful!
Most dinos died because of the aftermath of the impact. Dusts covers the sky for a long long time, barely any sunlight, temperature drops, plants can't do photosynthesis then die. It's like a slow torture to death. So... in a way, the ones that died due to being near the impact site is actually lucky.
Like the other guy said. The ones who died right away were sort of the lucky ones. They weren't really cooked alive in the way you're thinking. They died within seconds maybe even (milliseconds or micros seconds) of getting hit by the blast
The complete sentence would be: well when the asteroid is a problem, we'll figure it out then how to spend the trillions USD required to stop it. It is all about money and resources that would have to be spent and might not be needed for millions of years. Although smaller impacts do happen more frequently.
@@pavel9652 its a joke man! I understand the reason they are putting asteroid defense on the back burner. Like you said the logistics would be expensive and taxing for any government. And being proactive is not Our (humans) strong suite.
@@richiel5557 No worries! ;) There are tons of demanding comments questioning the science and scientists on the internet these days, so I just try to address the misconceptions as I see them ;)
To quote Truman from the movie Armageddon, President: "And we dudnt see this coming?" NASA: "Well our object collision budget allows us to cover about 3% of the sky, and I beg your pardon sir but it's a big ass sky".
There is something like a 60% chance an asteroid impacts over an ocean. I would appreciate an analysis of the effect of a 1km or even just a "city killer" landing in the ocean. I have watched several presentation on the [potential effects of the collapse of the La Palma face. It seems like an impacting meteor (or even an airburst) in the ocean would generate an even more catastrophic tsunami than a direct surface impact.

10km asteroid we can do a lot about it 10,000*10,000*10,000= 1,000,000,000,000 1 km it sucks a lot 1000*1000*1000 = 1,000,000,000 100 m = 100*100*100 = 1,000,000 10 m 10 *10*10 = 1000 Keep in mind: Diameter times 10 results in mass times 1000
It could have happened five minutes ago on the other side of the planet and the shockwave just hasn't hit you yet. You're already dead and you won't know it until, at most, a few seconds before it happens.
There’s an Aviation Airway that goes directly over the crater in Arizona and I’ve flown over it at least 15-20 times and it certainly is amazing to see. I just wonder how insane the explosion was when it hit? It looks like it hit straight down. BOOM

About the foil and its reflective properties; wouldn't it be much more efficient to paint the object with a hyperreflective pigment/color?

Their messengers verily came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they could not believe because they had before denied. Thus doth Allah print upon the hearts of disbelievers (that they hear not).
102. We found no (loyalty to any) covenant in most of them. Nay, most of them We found wrong doers

77. And when Our messengers (angels in man shape) came unto Lot, he was distressed and knew not how to protect them. He said: This is a distressful day.
78. And his people came unto him, running towards him and before then they used to commit abominations He said: O my people! Here are my daughters! They are purer for you (to marry). Beware of Allah, and degrade me not in (the person of) my guests. Is there not among you any upright man?
79. They said: Well thou knowest that we have no right to thy daughters, and well thou knowest what we want.
80. He said: Would that I had strength to resist you or had some strong support (among you)!
81. (The messengers) said: O Lot! Lo! we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall not reach thee. So travel with thy people in a part of the night, and let not one of you turn round (all) save thy wife. Lo! that which smiteth them will smite her (also). Lo! their tryst is (for) the morning. Is not the morning nigh?
82. So when Our commandment came to pass We overthrew (that township) and rained upon it stones of clay, one after another,
83. Marked with fire in the providence of thy Lord (for the destruction of the wicked). And they are never far from the wrong-doers.

The DART experiment has shown that we do have the ability to deflect a asteroid with a high velocity impact. I know that happened after this video was made. It was an important experiment and a fun one to see live.
Did they ever give us real factual information about the impact and how much it would move?
They changed the orbital periodnof the 2 bodies in relation to each other. Did they ever release any data on any changes in relation to Earth?
Doesn't matter what happens if it's still heading to Earth.
But. DART works if we know in advance we are going to be hit. The meteor that hit Russia we did not see coming..You cannot redirect of you do not see it coming..

Idea of how to stop an asteroid:
Step 1: Grab a man
Step 2: Grab a nuke
Step 3: Grab a gun
Step 4: launch that man onto the asteroid
Step 5: Try placing the nuke in the middle of the asteroid
Step 6: Sacrifice yourself And explode the nuke

I start to think that evacuating a city can be done quickest if you let the people walk. You close all roads exept for transport of those who can't walk. In a week's time, you could reach another big city walking. If people flee in all directions, the masses thin out. So, if you have many evacuation centers all around the city in a distance of a five days walk, you can transport the people from there.
Thats what I was thinking… If the roads are blocked then any reasonable person would simply start walking. A few days is more than enough time to make it out of a city on foot
The idea of a kilometres-wide chunk of iron getting so hot that it becomes - not just a liquid, but a GAS - is genuinely hard for me to imagine.

That's when you realize that the "velocity SQUARED" component of kinetic energy starts to get seriously ridiculous at very high speeds. And the law of conservation of energy states that if you are slowing down, that energy has to go SOMEWHERE. And if you slow down all of a sudden, well you get the energy all of a sudden too :)

I remember a few years ago, I got to go to a friend's house, and his parents were archeologists, it's probably the craziest house I've ever been to.
It was a flat of 3 floors, the basement was full of meteorites of all sizes, some with the size of a tennis ball, some with the size of a chair, and let me tell you they were heavy, they needed a crane to carry those. Then they had the entire house filled with different artifacts (coins, masks, etc.) and... someone skeleton in the living room that they were studying.
Yep, quite an interesting house.
Aaron López That's so cool! I wish I had those parents.
He discovered the Kuiper belt too
@@cameronscanlan1620 what's his name ?
It's scary that we still aren't that good at detecting asteroids, but the size of the universe and all the objects within space makes it so hard to predict. The idea of wrapping tin foil around an asteroid seems like something out of a science fiction comedy movie, but it's cool that the radiative properties of some metals are something to think about when entering outer space.
The fact that we don't have a rocket that could deflect an asteroid, but plain old photons could, is quite funny to think about.
I also find it weird that Space X haven’t mentioned this with their ‘Occupy Mars’ goal. If it’s difficult for us to detect from Earth, surely Mars is even more difficult? Imagine investing all that money only for your colony to be wiped out by an asteroid before it gets fully going.
I didn't get how the foil thing (unrealistic as it is to begin with) would do anything to a spinning asteroid of fairly uniform composition. Maybe it's spinning VERY slowly (days) and then we'd have to only wrap (the correct) half of it? Lmao ok. I'm ok with asteroid catastrophe anyway tbh.
@@JD_tcb it'd be constantly pushed away from the sun by photons from the sun. doesn't matter if you have to wrap the whole thing, sunlight is still only coming from one side

"France and Germany, two of my favourite"
What,countries to wipe out?
Ok... I hope he let's us know in advance; good that I've only rented this place.
Greetings from Germany.
😂
He's a French scientist. Lmao
Would be crazy to think a world, where say either France or Germany were wiped out, the only remain frnch/germans would be people living abroad or on holiday/business. Would those small amount of people then own what remains of the land and government etc?
*france dissapears*

@@Valsorayu read Marian Tupy, Bjorn Lomborg or really anything on the current state of the world, instead of eating up popular narratives. You can believe it or not, accept or reject the new information, that's not the point. At least you will broaden your horizons and will be less inclined to spew out cliched angsty philosophy of 2000s, like the op does.

@@Farquad76.547 Because it's a ubiquitous object that just about everyone has seen multiple times in person. It's a lot easier to get a sense of how big something is in terms of a very familiar object than from just a number, even if the units aren't unfamiliar.
G'day,
One or two Skoolbusses ; one for regular Skooledkids, two if they be Speshul, like.

About the foil and its reflective properties; wouldn't it be much more efficient to paint the object with a hyperreflective pigment/color?
This doesn't solve how to get there with all the needed equipment, but I think it could work if someone figured that (very important) part out.
A number of drones carrying paint could cover a large area in no time.

Holy Qur'an Chapter 67 - The Dominion
16. Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed?
17. Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane which flings rocks? But ye shall know the manner of My warning.
18. And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)!
Chapter 16 - The Honey Bee
45. Are they who plan ill deeds then secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them, or that the doom will not come on them whence they know not?
46. Or that He will not seize them in their going to and fro that there be no escape for them?
47. Or that He will not seize them with a gradual wasting? Lo! thy Lord is indeed Full of Pity, Merciful!
48. Have they not observed all thing that Allah hath created, how their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly?
49. And unto Allah maketh prostration whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of living creatures, and the angels (also), and they are not proud
50. They fear their Lord above them, and do what they are hidden.
51. Allah hath said: Choose not two gods. There is only One God. So of Me, Me only, be in awe.
52. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and religion is His for ever. Will ye then fear any other than Allah?
53. And whatever of comfort ye enjoy, it is from Allah. Then, when misfortune reacheth you, unto Him ye cry for help.
54. And afterward, when He hath rid you of the misfortune, behold! a set of you attribute partners to their Lord,
55. So as to deny that which We have given them. Then enjoy life (while ye may), for ye will come to know.
56. And they assign a portion of that which We have given them unto what they know not. By Allah! but ye will indeed be asked concerning (all) that ye used to invent.
Chapter 7 - The Place Between Heaven and Hell
96. And if the people of the township had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them, blessings from the sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We seized them on account of what they used to earn.
97. Are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath, upon them as a night raid while they sleep?
98. Or are the people of the townships then secure from the coming of Our wrath upon them in the daytime while they play?
99. Are they then secure from Allah's scheme? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's scheme save folk that perish.
100. Is it not an indication to those who inherit the land after its people (who thus reaped the consequence of evil doing) that, if We will, We can smite them for their sins and print upon their hearts so that they hear not?
101. Such were the townships. We relate some tidings of them unto thee (Muhammad). Their messengers verily came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they could not believe because they had before denied. Thus doth Allah print upon the hearts of disbelievers (that they hear not).
102. We found no (loyalty to any) covenant in most of them. Nay, most of them We found wrong doers
Chapter 11- Prophet Hood
77. And when Our messengers (angels in man shape) came unto Lot, he was distressed and knew not how to protect them. He said: This is a distressful day.
78. And his people came unto him, running towards him and before then they used to commit abominations He said: O my people! Here are my daughters! They are purer for you (to marry). Beware of Allah, and degrade me not in (the person of) my guests. Is there not among you any upright man?
79. They said: Well thou knowest that we have no right to thy daughters, and well thou knowest what we want.
80. He said: Would that I had strength to resist you or had some strong support (among you)!
81. (The messengers) said: O Lot! Lo! we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall not reach thee. So travel with thy people in a part of the night, and let not one of you turn round (all) save thy wife. Lo! that which smiteth them will smite her (also). Lo! their tryst is (for) the morning. Is not the morning nigh?
82. So when Our commandment came to pass We overthrew (that township) and rained upon it stones of clay, one after another,
83. Marked with fire in the providence of thy Lord (for the destruction of the wicked). And they are never far from the wrong-doers.
