Omni-Man Diverting Texas-Sized Asteroid Calculation (Lowest End and Highest End)
Omni-Man mentioning the feat.There are two different scales we'll use:
Armageddon Asteroid Scale
Because the asteroid’s size and measurements in the show are left ambiguous, we can use the asteroid featured in the 1998 science fiction film Armageddon, which coincidentally featured a Texas-sized meteor that’d strike the Earth in 18 days.So for the speed and mass:
The movie says that the asteroid is traveling at 22,000 mph x 24 hours x 18 days, which equals 9,504,000 miles away or 15,295,205.38 kilometers away or 39.7x the distance of the moon.
Measuring the Asteroid:
- RED 218.829 PX for Asteroid Length. Texas is 801 miles long, so 218.829 PX=801 for length; 801 miles is 1289000 meters
- Diameter=WHITE 218.274 PX or 798.968482 miles or 1285815.132696 meters
- Radius- 399.484241 miles or 642907.5663479 meters
- V = 4/3*pi*642907.5663479^3 =1.1131001e+18 m^3
KE of the Armageddon Asteroid: 0.5 x 4.4524004E+21 x 9834.88^2=2.1532891294955E+29 J/45.95 Exatons/Moon Level
So what’s the bare minimum amount of change in direction for a miss?- At the 15-day mark, slowing the asteroid’s speed by even roughly 0.2% ensures a miss. At the 7-day point, it would be 0.4%.
- Slowing it by 0.2% is slowing it down by 44.0 km/hour, and 0.4% is 88.0 km/hour.
- There is a 16.5x difference between the asteroid’s mass and the Moon’s.
- Earth is 81x the mass of the Moon.
- The asteroid is 1/1336 of that of the Earth, and we're trying to slow down the speed by 0.1% or 0.2% or slightly higher, but nothing above 1%.
1336000/68000=19.6x Chicxulub Impacts needed. A singular Chicxulub Impact is equivocal to 5.8 × 10^25 joules, so 19.6 times that is 271.70 Petatons/Multi-Continental
Standard Chicxulub Impact Calc-Stack
- It released 2 million times the energy of Tsar Bomba via Kinetic Energy, so it's around 100 million megatons worth of TNT, and it was only 6.2 miles long with a diameter of 6.2137 miles. The volume of this is 1004.9384285301 miles^3.
- The diameter of the Armaggedon meteor was 798.968482 miles, so its volume is 2,136,375,317.0539 miles^3.
- The Chicxulub Impact has a value of 100,000,000,000,000 tons, so times that by 2125876.82628 and we get 2.1258768e20 tons/238.09 Exatons/Moon Level+
- Remember though, the asteroid needs to be diverted by 0.4% within 7 days, so under that assumption:
0.4% of 2.1258768e20 tons= 8.5035072e+17 tons/850 Petatons/Multi-Continental
Results:Armageddon Asteroid Kinetic Energy: 45.95 Exatons/Moon Level
0.2%/0.4% Armageddon Asteroid Momentum Shift: 271.70 Petatons/Multi-Continental (Bare minimum for this feat)
0.2%/0.4% Chicxulub Impact Calc-Stack w/ Armageddon Asteroid Momentum Shift: 850 Petatons/Multi-Continental
Chicxulub Impact Calc-Stack Kinetic Energy: 238.09 Exatons/Moon Level+ (This is the Kinetic Energy for the Calc-Stack portion without the Armageddon Asteroid's velocity being accounted for, although the diameter of the Armageddon Meteor remains relevant because it's Texas-Sized)
