If I just had a dollar for every time the world was going to end.

Apophis has been a concern of mine for awhile. I trust the calculation and agree with them. I don't think the meteor will hit Earth.

BUT...

I think there is a probability which has not been considered.

The picture in the article is the bottom side of Apophis. On it's top rear is something a little scary.

At this location there is a large sphere. It looks like a perfect sphere except, the sphere began to melt at one time. This made the sphere produce frozen spikes. This thawing and refreezing action occured before the spiked sphere attached to Apophis.

Here is the problem. Condensed ice cracks when it thaws quickly. That's bad news.

When Apophis nears our planet it will encounter an increase in heat. It will also encounter increased partcle density. Mind you the particals are very small, but there mass multiplied by the , (I am guessing the travel speed up of Apophis is around 30k kph), squared.

This sphere looks well bonded to Apophis by... Wait for it... Ice.

The meteor which injured a few hundred a few years back was about the size of small compact car. This sphere on Apophis is about, I am guessing, close to the size of a football ball field+/-.

Things which fall off of Apophis will still likely stay with Apophis. This I suspect, and I suspect it is what others may believe as well. But, I don't think this will be the case of the sphere. This because, the sphere will be spinning on it's own center of gravity.

It is covered with spikes. Molecular impacts will pull it downwards as it rolls forward. Some of it's orbital energy will be negated by increasing axil rotation.

I think there is an off chance, of low probability, the scientist and spectators of the eventon are going to witness an event which may kill a few hundred to a few thousand people.

I said earlier, I’ll be sitting outside, staring at the sky, when it passes by or whatever. LOL It’ll be an event for sure!

I think there is a very good chance. All of the scientist on 2029 are going to witness an event which may kill a few thousand people.

I expect I will be around in 2029, hopefully retired then. However, tomorrow is not guaranteed.
