Is a meteor or asteroid hitting the earth and causing a major problem for me or other people a real threat? What is the chance that I or others can get hurt?
In: Other
its a potentially existential problem that we won’t be able to do anything about (with current technology.)
its a good reason for colonizing other planets (as stephen hawking pointed out.)
but worrying about it seems a little silly to me unless the current existential problems that we have full control over (pandemics, climate change, nuclear terrorism) have all been handled.
