Russian Meteor

guys, the link I posted gives formulas, calculations, detailed logic in normal English even tho the folks are physicists. They beat anything we can think up except...the good Lord done it/ /

LOL, LOL...cat resting on shoulder stretched out and tapped the touch screen keyboard....punctuating above paragraph ending... He works in mysterious ways...I'm gonna leave it at that:cat::cat:

yep, the sky really is falling

Totally unrelated to the meteor but dang funny.....a couple days ago.....was walking the dog along a river path here in town......about 20 yards in front of us.....a fish (steelhead) fell from the sky. Looked up and saw an eagle flying away. Have to assume he dropped it by accident. I think my dog thought it was a gift from the "dog toy" gods. At least that what he told me when he got done praying. Luckily....it wasn't a meteor but I am glad it didn't hit me!:shark:

People can hold the Opinion that God has all the answers to all of life's burning questions.

In the same vain, I can equally express skepticism in the Notion that God Is somehow protecting us.

@ U No who.

Shuttle does not come in at like 23000 MPH either. Nor does the Shuttle have gas pressure building up at it's core like a steam pressure bomb. Those could be other factors.

Root cause for heat build up is air friction. If shuttle tiles fail... It blows up too.

exactly.

I wasn't allowing for hte fact that it would be way past critical velocity.. and wrong angle. that adds drag friction.. heat.. gassing..e tc.

as I said.. makes sense now.

Well, yea,,,

He gave us the ability to protect ourselves. The rest is up to us.

Media sources reported people in Chelyabinsk were thinking they are attacked, and a real war begins. I have heard that myself. And there is a special opinion on a subject of what has happened in Russia that day.
Zhirinovsky: no meteorites, it

So,,,,,, the USA now has a weapon that is like 30 times more destructive then the Hiroshima bomb? We need a Physicist to tell us if that is even reasonable. Any Physicists here?

Oh, and if it turns out we do have this kind of bomb at our disposal, I would think twice b4 poking the US in the eye with insults. Just saying.

Lighten up there Singalo.....my comments were intended to be funny....."dog toy" gods is humorous...they don't really exist....and my dog doesn't really pray....he sits and shakes but doesn't pray!:drink:
