good advice from [link to urbansurvival.com]
So there you go - a nice assortment of things to worry about today that you won't be able to do anything about. Now, stop surfing the web and get back to work on preparing for the future of your family and loved ones for the really ugly stuff coming this fall. And don't forget the food and water for this summer's big quake series. And some ammo for the conflict this fall. |

it is not necessary to prove any of this stuff, it's a waste of time
most of us here are aleady informed in these areas
if someone doesn't believe it, let them research it themself and draw their own conclusions

is the miss distance calculated from the center of the earth?
or from the surface of the earth? |

Asteroid fragments on a fast collision course
ETH researchers determined travel times of asteroid
fragments
Over a million large asteroids, each several
kilometres wide, are orbiting the Sun in a belt
between Mars and Jupiter. There are sometimes
violent collisions. Until now, it has been thought
that the resulting asteroid fragments would need
several million years to reach the Earth. New
measurements from the Noble Gas Laboratory of ETH
Zurich show however, that the Earth could be
reached much sooner. This knowledge is significant
for the prediction of future meteorite impacts on
Earth.
Collisions in the Asteroid Belt result in the
asteroids being completely destroyed and shattered
into countless pieces. Computer simulations predict
that most of these fragments will eventually fall
into the Sun. Some of them, however, will hit the
Earth after millions of years as meteorites. It is
possible that this could also occur much earlier.
In certain positions in the Asteroid Belt, the
orbiting time of an object around the sun is a
multiple of the orbit of the giant planet Jupiter.
The so-called orbital resonance can lead to a
disruption in the object's orbit. It can change the
orbit so much that the object would cross the
Earth's orbit and collide with the Earth. Up until
today, when this might occur has only been
theoretically calculated. But, a new measurement
method developed by a research team at the
Institute for Isotope Geology at ETH Zurich can now
bring more certainty to the subject. The team has
established that it could take just a few hundred
thousand years for such an object to collide with
our planet.
Concentrations of noble gases tell the travel time
of an asteroid
Collisional fragments from asteroids in space are
constantly being hit by cosmic radiation. This
creates noble gases from nuclear reactions. These
gases do not enter into any further chemical
reactions. Therefore, during the entire duration of
the radiation, i.e., the travel time of the
fragment in space, they accumulate in the fragment.
After measuring the concentration of these so-
called cosmogenic inert gases, the travel time from
original body to Earth can be calculated. The
higher the concentration, the longer the meteorite
was underway.
Fossil meteorites: participants in a catastrophe
The researchers used meteorites for their tests
that are assumed to be the results of a huge
asteroid collision in the recent history of the
solar system. These meteorites were found in a
stone quarry in southern Sweden in a 480 million
year old seabed deposit. What is astonishing is
that the fragments still show the traces of the
inert gases absorbed more than 500 million years
ago.
"Tom Dooley" allows measurement of very small
amounts of gas
The Noble Gas Laboratory at ETH Zurich has a highly
sensitive mass spectrometer, nicknamed "Tom
Dooley", that is specialized for the measurement of
extremely small amounts of gas. This instrument,
developed at ETH, condenses the test gas into a
tiny volume in order to raise the concentration to
the point that even rare gases, such as the helium
or neon in a single dust particle, can be measured.
The sensitivity of this instrument is more than a
hundred times higher than conventional mass
spectrometers. The device is unique, worldwide.
Using this instrument, the young researcher Philipp
Reza Heck found a method for measuring a very small
amount of cosmic inert gas. To do this, just a few
micrograms of lightweight meteorite sample is
melted with an infrared laser and the gas is then
set free and cleaned. Heck then measures the
isotopes of the elements helium and neon with "Tom
Dooley" spectrometer.
Confirmation of the shorter travel time
With the new method, it could be proven for the
first time that the noble gases in the meteorites
in southern Sweden were already in the meteorites
480 million years ago. The calculated travel time
was reduced to a few hundred thousand years, which
corresponds to the lower limits predicted by the
computer simulations. These were the first
fragments to arrive on Earth after a great
collision. The short radiation age is a clue that
the collision took place in the proximity of an
orbital resonance in the Asteroid Belt. In
addition, it could be proven that the fossil
meteorites from southern Sweden all stem from the
same event. The newly developed method from the
Institute for Isotope Geology makes it possible to
confirm the theories about the behaviour of
asteroid fragments in space. This will make it
significantly easier for researchers to predict
future collisions with our planet.

You know what! What's it gonna be???
When fragments were at 5 million miles, then 3 million miles .... Everyone said, too far to worry about .. even when a few were noting how the distance was decreasing!!!!
Now that its at 9800 ..not even 98000 but 9800 ...we are hearing the same shit.
What will constitute a near near near miss ... when it hits us???? |

A REFRESHING THEORY:
Ok kids- here's another possiblity-
We are being SET UP (sound familiar?) once again by TPTB/Illuminati for an "astoroid impact" but it will be a manufacted event like 911. IE. 1. release fake data through internet underground- supported by facts (visable earth bound fragmented comet) 2. Aurora-like spaceplanes or similar tech (or something else) are used as fake incoming fireballs (will look great on TV) followed by 3. detonation of largest Nuke built/ HAARP vibrating the earths shit into a big mess.
Just a theory... all you Biblers havent mentioned the great deception stuff (aka 911, OKC, etc) why not this time too?
Secondly we MUST NOT forget the last six? times we have been worked up over possible impact events over the years- (psyops?) even though this one is accompanied by an actual NEO.. |
