Why do you think you're ignored?But I guess my posts are being ignored on this forum
I really liked your pictures, and would've upvoted them if I could.
Everyone but Samoth is agreeing with you, so not much to reply to unfortunately.

i read your posts, but as Olof said, the only thing to do with that post is to agree, the only person with cause to directly respond/conflict with what you've said is samoth.
I really really hate to say this, but i'm sure i'm not the only one to think this. but if this meteorite had actually decimated a city(and thankfully it didn't), it probably would have increased our global awareness toward expanding into space by a hundred fold or so. as it stands now, it'll be a forgotten event in less than a year=-\.
Wedding rings get cheaper?"If a meteor made out of diamond and 100 feet in diameter was traveling at the speed of light and hit the earth, what would happen to it?"
I guess you're right.

Given the temperatures involved its quite possible for things to explode. Look at the mythbusters experiments with ice and thermite The sheer heat from the thermite might be disassociating the ice into hydrogen and oxygen and creates a massive explosion. It isn't the heat of the thermite turning the ice into steam since the effect seem to take alittle time to occur instead of on contact. I'm sure super heated iron mixed with ice inside the meteor provides ripe opportunity for much interesting chemistry and explosive effect. Or maybe it was the sonic shock wave itself which blew apart the meteor once it dropped below the speed of sound..
