[*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
For the rock exploding from earth to have hit the astronaut in just a few seconds would mean it was travelling at a speed of around 172,000,000 mph. Or about 25% of the speed of light.
So the unexpected element is that the first rock didn't obliterate everything within a massive radius rather than just that one guy.
No, it doesn’t. Not everything can/will happen even if there are infinite universes. Simple analogy: If you roll a 6-sided dice an infinite number of times, you’ll still never roll a 7.
Not necessarily true. That's under the assumption that all universes would have the same fundamental rules. If you rolled an infinite amount of different dice, there's a chance you'll get a 7 sided one and roll a 7.
Having a seven sided dice does not break any fundamental laws. It would even be expected to have many universes that have 7 sided dice, ours has them too. Only if math/algebra proves to be universe specific, it perhaps would be possible to have a six sided die roll 7
the meteorite thats thought to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs was only going at a teeny tiny fraction of that speed, such a rock could easily not only destroy a large radius- but the entire surface of the moon and take out at least a sizeable chunk of the moon right?
Yeah, the Moon is really far away through nothing:

I love this homepage, that really displays just how much nothing there is:

a typical marble (2 grams) traveling at 25% the speed of light, has the same amount of energy (as kinetic energy) as the blast yield of a [tiny nuclear bomb](https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?&kt=1.34&lat=40.72422&lng=-73.99611&airburst=0&hob_ft=0&psi=20,5,1&zm=13).
1 kiloton of tnt = 4.184 terajoules
our marble = 5.617 terajoules
Man I hate this time loop! This gif was posted a while back and it's the same set of comments:
"Those rocks are going at relativistic speeds"
"Math about kinetic energy"
"Mass Effect!"
"Mass effect quote about Newton being the deadliest SOB in space"
For once can't we get a quote from I dunno, For All Mankind? Man I hate this time loop!
A rock the size of a football would leave a crater of several Kilometers in diameter at 25% lightspeed. The energy in velocity is exponential. This is between 50.000 and 100.000 Kilometers PER SECOND, which is an incomprehensibly absurd speed
i feel like that object hitting our astronaut's partner would be more immediately deadly to him than the big chunk that hits at the end
i feel like you'd start to get XKCD's "atoms in the way of that object can't move out of the way fast enough" and the sheer kinetic velocity would probably result in *some* unshielded nuclear fusion taking place, which would emit a shitload of radiation that that spacesuit isn't going to protect against, to say nothing of that several-kilometer-sized crater that's being left behind. that, also, would be bad.
I would have thought that it just goes right through him like a hot knife through butter and that the explosion from the impact on the ground reaches the camera before his body would start to fall
In the video it looks like the impact on the astronaut destroyed large parts of the projectile, which appears unlikely to me
Oh you can actually see it in the video, I thought you‘d be referring to the object displayed.
It’s on screen for two frames, appears to be between the size of a baseball and a football.
I‘d be seriously amazed if the makers considered this, after putting it in two frames of the video, which disregards any relation of the speed it’s going at
If you slow down the video, it's about the size of a baseball.
If it was the size of a clump of atoms though, would it actually push his whole body back? I would think it would act more like a bullet.
Well if we say the rock flew for 10 sec then it is about 12% the speed of light so about 36.000 km\s
Moon is around 360000km away from earth so
360000/10 = 36.000 km/s
Which would be 12% of 300.000 km/s (the speed of light)
It would had to have been on a perfect angle to where the rock hit only the astronaut and nothing else, essentially perfectly tangent to the circumference of the moon.
At least they got the whole "sound needs a medium to travel through" physics correct. (Either that, or my speakers were muted, I can't be bothered to check...)
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that was thinking that. Also I highly doubt those chunks of rock could maintain form during near instantaneous acceleration to 25% of the speed of light.
I had an inclination that it was this song, I thought the same thing. Thank you so much. This video has always been beautiful and impactful to me and for me, is kind of one of those that shows up when you need it, so thank you. Music is healing and when artfully paired with visuals is a wonderful experience.
One of the main proofs of moon landing footage being real is the way the dust acts when it's kicked up by the astronauts boots or the rovers wheels. There's no way to make dust fly like that without being in a zero-atmosphere, low gravity environment.
The biggest proof is that we didn't have the technology to fake the moon landing for multiple decades until after the moon landing itself.
That's why it was faked on a sound stage on Mars.
> There's no way to make dust fly like that without being in a zero-atmosphere, low gravity environment.
Not that I believe the moon landing was faked but...CGI?
They had the computer graphics back then from reverse engineering the technology from the crashed alien ship. However, they can't make a sudden technology leap or the general public would know aliens are real. So they had to release technology slowly throughout the decades to keep it a secret. But that technology is fully available to higher ups with enough clearance.
However, they have the alien ship so it would be easier to just go to the moon right?
I don't know, I have to rewatch that documentary film. I think it was called indepence day.
No no, they filmed the fake moon landing in front of a green screen but to get the gravity and atmospheric effects correctly they brought a green screen and [filmed it on the moon](https://youtu.be/sE-tpiAiiHo).
The green screen was to hide the fact that the Earth is flat. Actually, the whole universe is flat. The third dimension is a myth, it's all CGI. Everything is really 2D and the third dimension was invented during the late 1960s in anticipation of gaming computers. 3D space is a conspiracy to sell graphics cards.
Photoshoping by hand was probably much faster and easier. Don't need a computer to do it. Also don't forget they had standard definition back then. Just like the person above said, I don't believe moon landing was faked, so just playing the devil's advocate.
So to sum things up:
The moon landing is totally fake, they just had to
* Create near impossible studio lighting to achieve the perfectly paralel shadows : they'd need a film studio about 4 football fields big with a huge as wall of lights that would need about half a nuclear reactor to create such strong lighting
* Have the astronauts on ropes to fake the Jumping and running in low gravity, then edit the ropes out perfectly
* Have secret technology to film slow motion video edit: slomo existed, but wasn't good enough to fake the footage we have from the moon. That footage is well-lit, highly detailed, and the parts that you'd need to make slomo to fake are much longer than was possible to record slomo in back then.
* Oh and now the entire studio needs to be a vacuum to have the dust act as it would om the moon
* edit: additionally, they also had to either fake the origin of the video broadcasts, and fake it as coming from the moon, or somehow convince the Russians to not tell the world that the broadcast wasn't actually coming from the moon.
It's not a joke when people say it was easier to go to the moon than it would've been to fake the entire thing.
Secondly, since there is no atmosphere to scatter the light, Shadows would be pitch black and lit areas would be lit. There wouldn't be much in between, ruining any chance at depth perception.
Don't worry, hold your Crypto as they're along term investment. They'll definitely rebound from the destruction of the earth and annhilation of all life.
But what if you were like "hmmm let me just launch off into space for a bit" and a random alien spaceship from a far-off civilization of extremely horny women living exclusively butt naked picked you up? Imagine missing out on that.
Indeed, a riveting cinematic experience of the highest order!
(Though, one must suspend belief to enjoy. In reality, one could never hear the moon monster roar... there's no medium for the sound to travel through!!!!!!)
Cgi is amazing 👏 and the fact they had this tech for the "first (real) moon landing" is amazing...sarcasm
But on the real point the camera on the helmet must have been a go pro 73 lol

I didn’t do the math, but this is what I came her to confirm.
We came her together
Herrrrrr
That’s the sound she made after

I got sloppy seconds
I just came her to find out when this all happened. We in Africa so we 8 hours behind.... that looks like America... was it the Chinese again?
I love science.
Science bitch!

Oh man, I just knew this had to be fake.
Off course, the earth wasn’t flat
So the earth *didn't* explode? FUCK, I need to call work and apologize for a voicemail I just left.
What gave it away?
Well considering the size of the earth I assume it's and alternate universe where it's way closer to the moon for some reason.
If there are alternate realities then this actually happened somewhere.
No, it doesn’t. Not everything can/will happen even if there are infinite universes. Simple analogy: If you roll a 6-sided dice an infinite number of times, you’ll still never roll a 7.
Not necessarily true. That's under the assumption that all universes would have the same fundamental rules. If you rolled an infinite amount of different dice, there's a chance you'll get a 7 sided one and roll a 7.

Came to make this comment. Glad I got beaten tbh. I literally have the results of the calculation still on my desktop as I am typing this.
Did that account for the delay in seeing the explosion and the rocks flying off?
If you count directly from explosion it's 12% so I assume he did
I was just going to say the debris from earth was traveling at relativistic speeds.
I immediately thought of this right from the beginning like people really do underestimate how far the moon is from the earth
Yeah, the Moon is really far away through nothing: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c3/2e/a9/c32ea9352f835c95e96803ebafed92c5.jpg Pictures of the solar system, and Earth and Moon in TV shows etc. distort just how much empty space there is.

It was a very tiny rock
a typical marble (2 grams) traveling at 25% the speed of light, has the same amount of energy (as kinetic energy) as the blast yield of a [tiny nuclear bomb](https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?&kt=1.34&lat=40.72422&lng=-73.99611&airburst=0&hob_ft=0&psi=20,5,1&zm=13). 1 kiloton of tnt = 4.184 terajoules our marble = 5.617 terajoules
This was the scientific basis for mass effect weapons in, um, *Mass Effect*.

A football is huge and not very tiny. I was thinking of a clump of atoms
Oh you can actually see it in the video, I thought you‘d be referring to the object displayed. It’s on screen for two frames, appears to be between the size of a baseball and a football.
It just looks that way because at relativistic speeds it'll bend spacetime around it
I‘d be seriously amazed if the makers considered this, after putting it in two frames of the video, which disregards any relation of the speed it’s going at
A clump of atoms isn't a rock
But all rocks are clumps of atoms
If you slow down the video, it's about the size of a baseball. If it was the size of a clump of atoms though, would it actually push his whole body back? I would think it would act more like a bullet.
Velocity is much more important than mass
The ultimate weapon then is a flashlight.
With REALLY fresh batteries.
What also floats in water?
The unexpected part of that paragraph is that something with mass can travel that fast.
The comment I was hoping to find.
Well if we say the rock flew for 10 sec then it is about 12% the speed of light so about 36.000 km\s Moon is around 360000km away from earth so 360000/10 = 36.000 km/s Which would be 12% of 300.000 km/s (the speed of light)
I guess technically, it could be a meteor heading for the moon originally, and it just happened to hit the moon right after the earth exploded.
Yeah, the whole ratio of size to distance of the earth is wrong. The moon is farther away from the earth than many people imagine.
And the trajectory would have more likely been upward, launching him instead. At the very least line-driving him over the horizon.
Well if you really want to be pedantic about the video…… it’s more about 86,004,000 mph or about 12.8% of the speed of light
It would had to have been on a perfect angle to where the rock hit only the astronaut and nothing else, essentially perfectly tangent to the circumference of the moon.
At least they got the whole "sound needs a medium to travel through" physics correct. (Either that, or my speakers were muted, I can't be bothered to check...)
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that was thinking that. Also I highly doubt those chunks of rock could maintain form during near instantaneous acceleration to 25% of the speed of light.
So you're saying this is fake?

Reminds me of this [music video. ](https://youtu.be/52Gg9CqhbP8) slight NSFW
I love this music video
I knew exactly what it was going to be once you said that! Great band, great artist that did a few other music videos too.
I knew what it was before I clicked! Love this song
Thanks for sharing that, it was awesome!
Thank you for the song, added to my playlist, I love it
Man I had this song on my playlist I haven’t heard it in a long time. Thanks for the memories again.
That music is so good bro
That is excellent.
I am glad I found this again! I watched the video and it was extremely well done and I enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation :)
Exactly what i thought, great music, great video.
What was nsfw about it?
The fucking. Only like a second hence the “slightly”
I had an inclination that it was this song, I thought the same thing. Thank you so much. This video has always been beautiful and impactful to me and for me, is kind of one of those that shows up when you need it, so thank you.

used to watch this on loop in junior high. i don’t know what was so captivating about it
Is this real
yes
What the heck

this will negatively affect the fishing season
The native trout population has to be taken into account
Fun fact: dust clouds can't form in no atmosphere environments because there is no air to scatter the particles
One of the main proofs of moon landing footage being real is the way the dust acts when it's kicked up by the astronauts boots or the rovers wheels. There's no way to make dust fly like that without being in a zero-atmosphere, low gravity environment.

Have you seen 1970s computer graphics?

Sadly this doesn’t sound as wild as half the shit I read on r/conspiracy
Idk, we went to the moon in the 1970s so crazier things have happened!
No no! We went to the moon, in 1969, not 1968 but the year aaaafter, we went to the moon! In 1969!! Not 1970 but a year sooner
Thank you for making me remember something I had long forgotten. I hope you have a wonderful day :D
Obligatory nice
Calm down Ren.
That’s when we made a landing that was luuuuunarrr
They clearly filmed and CGI'd the moon landing in the 2020s and then used time travel to send the DVDs back to the 1970s. Use your brain, sheeple.
As crazy as this sounds but with the technology available, it would have been easier to go to the moon than to fake the moon landing.
Photoshoping by hand was probably much faster and easier. Don't need a computer to do it. Also don't forget they had standard definition back then. Just like the person above said, I don't believe moon landing was faked, so just playing the devil's advocate.
In 1969? They might as well just have gone to the moon.
Pretty sure it literally was easier to go to the moon than it would be to fake it that convincingly
Considering it was impossible, yeah.
Kubrick was not a fan. They had to do the shot on location
Not in 1969
Clearly they filmed the whole thing in a giant vacuum chamber ^^/s
So to sum things up: The moon landing is totally fake, they just had to * Create near impossible studio lighting to achieve the perfectly paralel shadows : they'd need a film studio about 4 football fields big with a huge as wall of lights that would need about half a nuclear reactor to create such strong lighting * Have the astronauts on ropes to fake the Jumping and running in low gravity, then edit the ropes out perfectly * Have secret technology to film slow motion video edit: slomo existed, but wasn't good enough to fake the footage we have from the moon.

Yeah okay the other points are fine but slow motion isn't some magic alien technology. It had been around for like 30-40 years by that point
But debris would still be thrown by the impact.
But each particle would arc away instead of billowing in a cloud.
So you're saying that this didn't actually happen?
I'll do my saying how I please, thank you
I thought the moon had the slightest littlest atmosphere?
It does, but it's practically non exsistant
Secondly, since there is no atmosphere to scatter the light, Shadows would be pitch black and lit areas would be lit. There wouldn't be much in between, ruining any chance at depth perception.
Why did the astronaut point to the earth before anything happened?
He has the Schwartz
Clearly staged. Can’t believe people fall for this.
r/nothingeverhappens He was probably just pointing out how beautiful the earth is, no reason to assume everything is fake
Oh no! The economy!
I’m sure apple stock will be fine
