BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! AN UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT IS HURDLING TOWARDS EARTH! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
“Commander, it’s the emergency broadcasting system! The object is coming in at insanely high speeds! This is not a drill!”
“Great Scott! What shall we do? To the emergency chamber!”
The Emergency Response team quickly began the descent into the emergency chamber in order to figure out the solution. The fate of the world as we know it was in their hands.
“Tell me what we know!” commanded the Commander.
“A large meteor is on a crash course with earth and is moving at incredibly high speeds!” claimed Steve, who was monitoring the emergency systems.
“What will happen if it hits earth?”
“Most likely immediate death for almost the entire population, the rest …show more content…
After landing we do a simple length contraction, that gives us the distance to impact from our reference point after the landing. Then we use to rover signal to give us the speed of the asteroid, then calculating it time. After that we do a time dilation to determine the time we have left in our reference frame. After that we can determine its location and how long we will have to create a missile to destroy it, however I suggest creating a generic missile framework now.”
This initially stupid idea now seemed like the divine intervention the world would need. Immediately the scientist began to work. Soon a rover was retrieved and prep for launch. In the essence of time the group decided to fire the rover at .8c towards the asteroid, an unprecedented speed, but none the less required.
The rover was then launched and the crew began to wait. Soon the system announced that impact had been made. After checking the vitals of the rover it was discovered that the rover had traveled 600,000,000 meters in its reference frame. Now the scientists began the mind boggling math equations that made them question life itself. After much math work the group was split between the impact happening 360,000,000 meters away or 1,000,000,000 meters away, a very important difference. Then again Eric spoke up with his
