A recent claim has been making the rounds on the Internet that an asteroid that is 2.5 miles wide will hit the earth on September 23rd 2015, on the day of atonement. Here is a link to one video that claims this /watch?v=A4c0NS4jLNA (apologie, international internationalskeptics will not allow me to post a live link)

My thoughts:

-Does not bother to cite sources and only says a friend of a friend says this.

-Large time window yet somehow know where exactly it will hit

- Astronomy is one of the only areas of science which has a large community of amateurs, if this was true it would be all over the Internet all from independent sources.

Would like to hear anyones commentary who may have more knowledge on the subject than I.
 
I've put that down on my calendar as well. Creates a dilemma for me. I have a job project due after this date; should I stop working on it?
 
Is it just me or are most doomsday scenarios scheduled for September? I feel like every summer there is a new video about the end of the world coming sometime in September.

If that were true, astronomers would've told us about it already. There should be some pretty obvious data at this point, if something that large was definitely coming for us. Your last point is right on the money.


And welcome.
 
Today I've seen one thread about the rapture occurring on Sep. 23 as well as this one about an asteroid strike. This surprises me, as I'm pretty sure the world ended in 2012 (remember the Mayan calendar thing?) and nobody noticed.

I have been reading up on this nuttiness and there are CTers asserting that astronomers are being assassinated in order to keep the whole thing secret. That, of course, is textbook CTism. Someone asks a rational question and another layer of craziness is placed on top of the previous craziness. In the end one has a tower of craziness that not even micro-thermite can bring down.

Yes. I am not sure which idea came first (meteor or Second Coming) but they seem intrinsically tied together now. I do love the "Issac Newton" calculation that allowed the Bible prophecies to calculate the date.

Well, the next logical step is to name every astronomer who has died in the last few months and claim that their deaths are suspicious.

What about the nutter who claimed that the last Olympics were really going to be just that ?
