The destruction would be epic, Markus. I saw a science show and although I don't remember the exact number, it was said that a large asteroid exploding in our environment would release destructive energy the equivalent of the Nagasaki bomb x 100, at the very least. That's scary.

I would think that too could cause a disturbance in the force as they say in 'Star Wars' movies. |
I remember from astronomy that the dark side remains hidden from Earth but not supposed to be as badly damaged, I think. The lads from Pink Floyd say that the " Dark side of the Moon " is way far out and groovy. Surely, the force would approve.
