[quote]And the time before, the Tunguska Event, it seems that these Meteors share a common trait, power. They both explode with immense power. But why? If the scientists believe that detonating a Nuke on an incoming Meteor cant destroy it, than why do they believe that the atmosphere causes them to explode so violently?[/quote] What are you going on about? No scientists deny that nuking an asteroid wouldn't destroy it, but that's not a good way of deflecting it. I'd most certainly assume that any anti-asteroid organization wouldn't condone using a nuke to destroy incoming threats, because: A. Any fragments that are created are now radioactive B. You'd only even think about using a nuke on an extremely large asteroid, using it on something small would be completely unnecessary. And if you could properly counter a dangerously big asteroid, your preferred method wouldn't be to blow it up like a hillbilly. You'd likely use some form of booster attachment via rocket to nudge the trajectory off so much that it misses the Earth. [quote]I have a feeling that the Cauldrons will be found soon. In the hunt for expensive space debris, I have a feeling that the hunt will lead to the finding of the elusive Cauldrons that I believe are causing the Meteors to explode. I have done several papers about these cauldrons in college and dont really feel like explaining them, but you should definitely look them up. Its an interesting story, and I feel that the pieces are putting themselves together.[/quote] What the living hell are you talking about?
