so last night i watched a discovery channel special about the impact of a meteor on earth...actually as if the last meteor that hit 65 million years ago hit today...it was good explaining all the scenarios of how it would happen and what would happen afterwards.
after watched it i started to think...cause the meteor killed the half of the population of the world and the earth started all over again as some kind of reset...Thta would be awesome if it really happens nowadays.
just imagine all the resources that today are almost not enough for all the people today (and increasing) just for the half of it...
yeah.. alot of people would die but for a great sacrifice comes a great prize for the survivors...and it won't matter if i die in it...i would know it was for the good of earth

You really believe that those who survived would be around long enough to see this great prize? |

 Not only I agree with d-miurge, but if the world population suddenly halved, it would hardly be a "reset": The Earth had 3 billion people in 1961. Even if just 1 billion survived, we'd just go back to the numbers we had in 1801. As a matter of fact, if 90% of all humans died, it would leave us with, what? 600 million people? That's the world population somewhere back in 1600~1700...
Hardly a "utopia"... or a good thing, for that matter.
edit: Oh, just one more thing... both the world population and the available resources are just poorly distributed, so there wouldn't be anything good about this catastrophe if resources kept being distributed unevenly.

no, the world would go to if we just all suddenly died. nuclear reactors would go kaput, so much pollution would cover the world. |

on topic, however, has anyone ever been to "Meteor Crater" in arizona? huge tourist trap, that totally wasn't worth the $14 admission price, but it was pretty wicked to see anyways....supposedly its one of the biggest craters on the planet, and if something like that happened again (even in the same spot) would knock out prolly around 1 billion. not really the half "restart" yur going for, but it would cause some damage. even those who weren't initally knocked out, the long=term affects could be devistating. |
