So what? A meteor the size of texas would wipe out life on earth. Should I care? Only if there is a reasonable chance of it happening - and there isn't a reasonable chance of either a meteor the size of Texas hitting us or someone setting off an emp bomb over Oaklahoma.stoned said:Remember blackout here on the east coast few years ago ? I was just finishing my grocery shoping at the store and cashier just gave me receipt the time was 16:14 hours.
sure was fun and unusual without electricity, but we knew it is just matter of days that they going to fix all the problems, but with EMP it is different all electric equipment is actually damaged beyond repair(melted), back to the stone age guys.

Navy physicist James Marusek believes there is a reasonable chance of a large Earth impactor and a reasonable chance that we could continue civilization if we prepared for it. He also says that one of the effects of Earth impactors is EMP.russ_watters said:So what? A meteor the size of texas would wipe out life on earth. Should I care?

I don't see where he predicts the probability, but few people with knowledge of the subject really doubt that large impacts will happen again. The question is simply when, or, what are the odds for any particular year/century?hitssquad said:Navy physicist James Marusek believes there is a reasonable chance of a large Earth impactor

His case for preparation for NEO threat seems to me to be that discrete probablility of NEO impact is irrelevant given that the results would be catastrophic to human civilization and that preparation sufficient to save human civilization can be made at minimal expense.russ_watters said:I don't see where he predicts the probability [...] The question is simply when, or, what are the odds for any particular year/century?hitssquad said:Navy physicist James Marusek believes there is a reasonable chance of a large Earth impactor
NEO insurance is a type of insurance that specifically covers the cost of damage or loss caused by near-Earth objects (NEOs) such as asteroids or meteors. It is important because NEOs pose a potential threat to our planet and can cause significant damage if they collide with Earth.
Factors that should be considered include the likelihood of a NEO impacting Earth, the potential cost of damage, the availability of other forms of insurance coverage, and the cost of the NEO insurance policy itself.
The cost of NEO insurance is determined by assessing the likelihood of a NEO impact and the potential cost of damage. This can vary depending on factors such as location, size and speed of the NEO, and the type of coverage offered by the insurance company.
This ultimately depends on individual risk tolerance and financial situation. For some, the potential cost of damage caused by a NEO impact may be worth the cost of insurance. Others may decide to rely on government or other forms of insurance coverage. It is important to carefully weigh the potential risks and benefits before making a decision.
Yes, there are alternative measures such as early warning systems and strategies for deflecting or destroying NEOs before they impact Earth. These measures may be more cost-effective in the long run, but it is important to continue monitoring and researching NEOs to improve our understanding and preparedness for potential impacts.
