Is it possible to survive a cosmic disaster like a black hole, gamma ray burst, and asteroids etc.?

Answer 1

Obviously when you say disaster we can assume that the events will havea direct impact on earth.

For the black hole the answer is no. If the black hole gets close enough to have an affect on earth we are pretty much dead. At least at present time we have no way of excaping a black holes gravity once it get's a hold of us. The only thing would be for another event to happen that would exert a stronger gravitational force than a black hole. We would have to be in pretty darn close proximity of that event for this to happen. It is very unlikely.

Now A Gamma Ray Burst Disaster is just that a disaster. A large enough burst with an extended time period would destroy our ozone layer leaving our atmospere vulnerable to ultra violet radiation which would pretty much kill most if not all life on earth. It certainly would be a bad day for all of mankind if a Gamma Ray Burst happened in our neighborhood. Say within 500 light years of us.

Thankfully Gamma Ray Bursts usually happen much farther away from us so the effect on our civilization has been at best negligiable. Although there is a belief that Gamma Ray Burst may happen as often as 1 billion years. Meaning the earth has faced this at least a few times in the history of our planet.

Asteriods are a different story. Asteroids vary in size. Some as small as 30 M across have been observed.

Now you wouldn't want to be close when one of those hits. But, that is not a mass extinction event. I imagine though something that small could do some pretty serious damage.

Now think about the largest asteriod discovered to date. Ceres about 900 KM is diameter. That is more than large enough to but a crimp in everyones day.

Say good bye to everyone you know. Oh yeah, and pretty much everyone else.

Answer 2

No,it is inpossible to survive the black hole,gamma ray burst,or asteroids impact,the 3 cosmic disasters are the most powerful,energies disasters known,they say a asteroid one mile wide can end most life on earth,we might can survive a asteroid 6,7,even 10 miles wide,but the power of an asteroid is more powerful then the superlases off starwars,think about it,a asteroid 18 miles wide moving at 67,000MPH,the energy it release is unknown,but just think of a large nuclear bomb going off ever single second for more then 6 thousand years and compass all of that energy in one great blast and there are asteroid out threr hundreds of miles wide,so no we can not stop or survive a large asteroid impact,gamma ray are the most powerful and large explosion known,then can be thousands of lightyears away and end all life and the black hole is the most powerful force known,if it a supermassive black hole in the solar system,it can effects life on earth,so if it comes this way for earth,there is no way for earth to survive,so wind it comes down to it we or earth can not survive comic disasters,but nothing to worry about,because the number one(1) best book known, the bible,say the world well live forever.

Answer 3

a blackhole? No, our planet, in fact our solar system would be sucked through like spaghetti. our bodies would stretch unbelievably, forget worrying about the size of your member, it would be a mile long. an asteroid? depends on size, yes it is possible, a gamma ray burst, well depends were the burst hits, if it hits us directly we would be fried. So I believe gamma ray burst is very very unlikely to survive.

Answer 4

Impossible to answer without some kind of qualification.

Asteroids range from a few metres wide (no damage on impact) to many kilometres wide (extinction event).

Gamma ray burst - depends how close it happens to us. A few light years, exctinction. The other side of the galaxy, just interesting observation.

Black Hole - also it depends on how near it come to us.

All of them have survival scenarios all the way up to total extinction of all life.

Answer 5

asteroid -yes

gamma ray burst- no, but it depends on how close to earth/this galaxy

black hole- definitely no

Answer 6

They only one of those that can be survided is asteroids becasue they can burn up it the atmosphere.

Answer 7

Hi. Only if they miss you.
