On February 21, 2021, Apophis was removed from the Sentry Risk Table, as an impact in the next 100 years was finally ruled out.[66]
we good y'all
That's just what they want you to think. Can't have people panicking for 5 years can we?Trust the scientists dude.

So the chances of this happening are like millions of times greater than winning the powerball.If you mean in our lifetime, yes. But in all of Earths remaining eons, no. It's believed that a massive asteroid like the one that killed the dinosaurs hits earth every once in a while. I think scientists believe the dinosaur one wasn't the first of that size to hit the planet. But I'm not sure if we habe evidence of the older ones. It was too long ago.
Up to 2.7% chance of hitting us wtfNo, the chance is 0%.

But given enough time, Earth gets smacked from time to time, and assuming humans continue to exist into the far future, at some point our species will have to worry about this
The law of averages says we will be hit again. Unless we use science to stop it
I'm talking about this one at 2.7% chance.Again, it does not have a 2.7% chance of hitting the Earth. It has a 0% chance.
No, the chance is 0%.ok i trust you
so you're confident in nasa's ability to predict orbits 5 years into the future. im sure solar wind, another asteroid, space dust, a rogue satellite are all perfectly accounted for.Yeah, that 0% comment was dumb as hell.
maybe a grad student phoned-in one of their calculations.
maybe the asteroid has frozen hydrogen on it, and that will melt and alter it's trajectory. yes that is a thing that can happen.
so gtfo of here with 0% chance. they are saying it's passing 5 earth-lengths away. like...that is very close, don't you think?
There's a very small chance that the 2029 passage by Earth might alter its trajectory enough that it could make impact in the future, but when I say small, I mean small. 1 in hundreds of thousands.
Yeah, that 0% comment was dumb as hell.Read the damn article.
The chance that there would be an impact in 2029 was eliminated by late December 27, 2004, as a result of a precovery image that extended the observation arc back to March 2004.
Read the damn article.I dont need to. Theres always room for variability in science. Its unlikely, not impossible.

Oh my godHave you never heard the words margin of error?
wow they're going all out with FF7 remake with that oneYes. It's actually a major promotion campaign from Square Enix to advertise the third game

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f1f00ee1.pngYes. Doesnt change the likelihood to 0%.
There's your margin of error. Notice anything about it?
I'm done with this. You can't correct ignorance that doesn't want to be corrected.I agree.

i notice that shit is reeeeeal fucking close like goddamn
i notice that shit is reeeeeal fucking close like goddamnAnd he still claims the likelihood of it hitting 5 years from now is absolute 0% lol
And he still claims the likelihood of it hitting 5 years from now is absolute 0% lolAnd if you'd bothered to read what I linked, you'd know that I'm not the only one saying that.
And if you'd bothered to read what I linked, you'd know that I'm not the only one saying that.You said you were done.
Will we be able to see it?If it's closer than thr moon, I'd assume it will be visible to the naked eye
Fuck, I just noticed I've been arguing with a new account this whole time. Goddammit, I should be better than this. I make fun of people for this kind of thing.Im not new here.
They don't think it will hit.
