every so often some lunatics on the internet will claim that a gigantic asteroid is hurtling toward Earth that will end life as we know it. usually, I do not respond. but, this time, i have apparently have had enough.
there is no scientific basis—not one shred of evidence—that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth anytime soon. if there were any object large enough to do that type of destruction in September, i would have seen something of it by now. i closely monitor all potentially hazardous asteroids and says there is less than a 0.01% chance that any of them will impact Earth in the next 100 years.
