POThat’s not a meteor. That’s a planet.
What you’re watching isn’t an extinction event. It’s a planetary reset. An object so large it’s visible from orbit before it hits. A rock bigger than a continent, travelling at 20 kilometres per second, with enough kinetic energy to vaporise every ocean on Earth simultaneously.
The crater alone is wider than Australia.
The crust doesn’t just crack — it liquefies. The mantle breaches the surface globally within hours. Every tectonic plate on Earth shifts simultaneously. The atmosphere is ejected into space like steam off a hot pan.
There are no survivors. Not on Earth. Not in orbit. The shockwave travels through the planet itself, exits the other side, and launches debris into space at escape velocity.
This is called a civilisation-ending impactor. Scientists have a scale for this — the Torino Scale. It goes from 0 to 10.
10 means this.
WW3 ends civilisation. This ends the planet.
