1. It would screw up the economy. Gold would be worthless. If everybody had a trillion dollars a Big Mac would cost a billion.
  2. Of course it would but that isn't what I'm talking about. I think it would screw with rotation, axis etc and we would all die.

    Its not like whomever ropes this thing would share anyway

  3. on one hand,.. about 100-110 tons of dust-meteorites hit the earth every day
    on the other,.. hydrogen and helium escape into space, 96,000 tonnes of mass loss yearly

    the result according to know it all scientists is, the Earth is losing 50,000 tonnes of mass every year
  4. How much does enough gold for everyone on the planet to have 1T weigh?
  5. https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

    right now it would be 7.7 billion tons of gold, add an additional 229,000 people/tons per day up until they lasso the asteroid and bring it to earth

    mass of the earth is 5,972,000,000,000 billion tons

  8. My metric, for some time. when viewing WAPO or NYTIMES articles is whether or not the ‘comments’ section for a particular article is active. Though both rags have stated policies in regards to comments, it is abundantly clear that the more hosed up the story, the less likely that comments are allowed.
