I seek refuge with God from expelled satan 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The second, caused by fragments of the first, hit the mid Atlantic about 2000 years later, both impacts can be linked to Ragnarok and also the destruction of Atlantis.

Not only one Tsunami, but multiple. If an asteroid impact the ocean, it will create a "Hole" where there is no water, which is the first tsunami, then water will rush in to fill the hole, causing a bulge in the center so high that when it falls back down, it will create another tsunami, this, however won't create a hole, but it will create a depression in water lever where water will rush back in, causing another bulge, less high every time. So we can count on at least 3-5 tsunamis in a row, with olny a few hours in between. Each tsunami will be less high and powerfull than it's predecessor, but even the last one will make the one that hit japan and the one that hit indonesia a couple of years back look like ripples.

14:40 - what about setting up space mirrors (like the JWST) to reflect the light of the sun and focus it on the single point of the asteroid? We need to get to work on it right away, because we're gonna need a lot of mirrors and a hell of an efficient targeting system.

Thank you for answering a question I had. I wondered where the few but very large concentrations of certain metals came from, such as the huge gold and the nearby huge platinum chunks located in South Africa. Now I know they came from the cores of planets that broke up to form asteroids before crashing into Earth. Seeing more of the video, I saw him mention how the asteroid gets obliterated. However, it still answers my question because the gold and platinum chunks are not pure gold or pure platinum. They are just high concentrations of gold and platinum.
