Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1266452 I mean, no one gave a huge amount of warning to Russia yesterday. We're okay with it. in 3 months when a city gets destroyed, we'll be conditioned to not question if after the last 24 hours. ...Catch my drift? What´s more annoying is the fact that they really want to make us believe the "coincidence" of the strike, how high are the odds for that happening on the same day? THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^ × 1000000000 Yeah the MSM is especially pushing hard that this is all a coincidence. So I'll let you draw your own conclusions. |

TheTruthMonger User ID: 34156188 United States 02/15/2013 04:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | okay one question: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34441843 how come the meteorite that hit russia explodes in mid air? should it not disintegrate not explode like that? AKA airburst, the mechanical shock as Earth's atmosphere is encountered is tremendous and since rocks tend to have many flaws in them (especially if they are formed by accretion) the rock would likely shatter. The rock is also traveling much faster than air molecules (even many times hydrogen's velocity) so it would be compressing a massive amount of air (with subsequent heating and then expansion) without any of that air escaping to the sides. As the rock breaks up, the expanding air (which is from our atmosphere, not the rock) can scatter the smaller rock pieces over a huge area with an exploding BANG! Just my two cents. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34311429 Iceland 02/15/2013 04:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think that it is fairly safe to take significant notice of the timing of this event. The odds against such an event occurring randomly ( that is, without special direction) and at this rather ominous point in time considering the expectancy surrounding 2012 DA14, are seemingly, ahem, er, 'astronomical'. The magnitude of the Russian event is unique- in terms of human casualty (injuries) and property damage- in recorded history. To think that this supreme rarity coincided naturally in time with the arrival (roughly) of a separate, long observed space rock ( thus magnifying the strangeness) is more than difficult. I therefore submit that it is decidedly easier to accept the notion that the Russian 'meteor' was a purposeful display of control/power by an outside entity (entities) meant as a clue of sorts...an indication to those paying attention that the time of times is at hand. Nothing new age per se, or mystical . Just cold and thick and hard reality taking on a more pronounced universal flavor profile, and old, stubborn humanity finally taking notice of things. If the situation as it has occurred remains unchanged for the rest of the day, then all of this conjecture will remain such and the main idea will stay theory. If, however, something new takes place (third strike?) in a timely fashion, the ideas contained in this post shall be enough proved for my liking. Quoting: Christobal 25509968 conquer. |

In the solid state, chemical bonds are stronger than the kinetic energy of the atoms. The atoms are locked into their crystal lattice positions. Kinetic energy dispersal in solids is much lower. Energy would still radiate similar to seismic waves, but the ice wouldn't fracture in a circle. Does ice have cleavage? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34477775 Or Turn something like Magnesium, or Titanium, into a NANO particle. And use it in a Fuel/Air explosion? I believe that once Magnesium, or Titanium starts to burn, it does not need Air, it will burn under water?

Energy would still radiate similar to seismic waves, but the ice wouldn't fracture in a circle. Does ice have cleavage? I think angle of attack and composition would play big factors in the distribution of energy. I found this tid bit on the Tunguska event: Blast patterns The explosion's effect on the trees near the epicentre of the explosion was replicated during atmospheric nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s. These effects are caused by the shock wave produced by large explosions. The trees directly below the explosion are stripped as the blast wave moves vertically downward, while trees farther away are knocked over because the blast wave is travelling closer to the horizontal when it reaches them. Soviet experiments performed in the mid-1960s, with model forests (made of matches on wire stakes) and small explosive charges slid downward on wires, produced butterfly shaped blast patterns strikingly similar to the pattern found at the Tunguska site. The experiments suggested that the object had approached at an angle of roughly 30 degrees from the ground and 115 degrees from north and had exploded in mid-air. |

Snuffielover User ID: 22962224 Russia 02/15/2013 06:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I cannot but mention the weird artifact I experienced yesterday. I was listening to AM radio around 620 KHz as I am an amateur ham radio listener (Well, I could have said operator, but getting a license in Russia to transmit is pretty hard.) And the radio station drowned out in static, the pitch of the static throttled slowly down and then back up again making a nice V shape on the waterfall graphics. Sounded like a static 'siren' actually. Perhaps an asteroid got caught between the transmitter dish and my receiver? Our lights flickered for a couple of minutes before everything went back to normal. The radio transmitter noted something about 'technical difficulties'. What on Earth could that have been? If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |
