Probability of Being Hit By a Meteorite
Double-A A large fast meteorite hitting the water begs the question will
it create a tidal wave or just an up and down wave. Be careful its tricky stuff Bert |

Probability of Being Hit By a Meteorite
If we are talking about the probability of being killed by a meteorite
or its effects , I think that it could be much higher. A big meteorite could kill everyone on Earth similar to the effect on the dinosaurs. If such a meteorite hit happens every billion years and the population of earth is something around 5 billion people , I think that means the odds are 5 people per year, or the chance per person is once every 3 months. |

GOOD LOGIC... BRAVO. SO SAUL NOW YOU KNOWN THE PROBILITY... Thank you very much ... our team could use people like you... in our combat against the fallen Coffee Boy's. |

I think that means the odds are 5 people per year, or the chance per person is once every 3 months. This should be "the chance of death is one person every 3 months on average" |

Probability of Being Hit By a Meteorite
Reality is on some planets right in our Milky Way galaxy there are very
intelligent people that don't leave their homes without putting on their hard hat. Some use stainless steel umbrellas. Most ride under ground. They have lots more comets and a much more dense solar system It has to be,and this teaches us not all is relative to us Bert |

If hit by it on the head you are dead. I have read a dog was killed by a meteorite. I read a woman had a near miss. Reality is meteorites come in all sizes,and hit the Earth at different speeds. Some touch down rather lightly. Should one a mile in diameter going at 50,000 mph hit the Gulf of Mexico Florida Alabama Mississippi lower Texas would be completely wiped out. Such a meteorite hit Arizona 60 thousand years ago. It killed only a few lizards, Water being non-compressible makes being hit a transfer of energy in all directions. Bert |

Probability of Being Hit By a Meteorite
There's a serious error in your thinking, steve. The probability is
one in a billion, not one every 3 months. Next time think of reality when you make such a statement.

Now you clearly show you know nothing of probability either, WartPlug!
Good job! See my reply to steve dated today. Hint: It's one in a billion.

Probability of Being Hit By a Meteorite
I really have on idea how you got 1 in a billion ... you have to
realize that such a hit with kill everyone on earth (with a expection of those hidden in secret places built by goverments around the world) ... anyways, although it might seem weird, the probability of being killed by a meteor is actually higher than that of dying in a plane crash. Now, of course, many more deaths are documented to have resulted from a plane crash than from meteor impacts, however, you have to realize that while a single plane crash results in a death of one or two hundreds of people, a meteors with a diamiar of a few of 10s of meters impacting the earth in the 'right place' can viritually kill millions ... hence the probability of a person being killed by a meteor is so high ...
