Blimey, you're posting to *every message* posted by someone who you've
killfiled, and who has killfiled you?

Busy, busy, busy. I can see you have little time to spare.

But try and find time to look up "speed of light" somewhere. It would help you
to avoid looking like an unscientific idiot.

I'm not looking at the other marked-read posts, maybe they made sense, maybe
they didn't. I just noticed a whole *heap* of marked-read ones and dipped in to
see. The above gem made me laugh out loud, is all.

As for the rest, well, since we're here:

>A chunk of a comet hit russia at the turn of the century.

An impactor most likely did. That is, something caused damage, nobody knows
what, but *Journalists* would say it was a comet. Astrophysicists wouldn't.

>comets do hit the planet.

I don't know what you mean by "comet". At this point, it probably includes
meteors.

>uraniaum and other radioactive metals.

Assuming you mean Uranium, your's is a silly idea. Comets are formed with the
rest of the solar system from an accretion disc and as such, the comet has no
more uranium (etc) as any other bit of the solar system. It'll have less than
earth.

The supernova that created all the material that makes up the solar system
created the rest of the material, it's just moving about to and fro.

The other radioactive metals are in the same proportions and have undergone the
same decay as the rest in the same solar system.

Comets deposit mundane materials, albeit not ones found on the surface of the
planet, mostly.

Would the moon be destroyed in the process? Do tell.

After the proto moon and proto earth struck and ended up forming the present
earth and present moon?

Like, and left the debris field that on earth has long gone but on the moon,
without the erosion of atmosphere, has left those massive craters?

If you are working on the basis of those craters being recent, you should talk
to Eric, he likes that catastrophism stuff. It would probably suit you quite
well, now I think about it. You'd unmask far more "trolls" with that position.

I know you'll "rebut" this post with something about dancing mammoths and Norse
on the moon, but I very probably won't read it. Still, you do what floats your
boat, Fill.
