Why Hasn't An ELE-object Hit Earth Yet And Wiped Us All Out?

It's a simple question.

Why hasn't a killer asteroid or something smashed into Earth and wiped us all out?

Did Harry Potter wave his wand or something and say "Avada Kedavra".

It's a simple question. With the amount of rogue bodies whizzing through space in and around our solar system, why haven't we been smashed into smithereens yet?

I ask myself this every morning I'm forced to wake up.

I think billions of folks feel like this.

That being said, I'm 75% serious. I want to know why...

You can thank Jupiter for that

Who is to say it hasn't already happened and everything we are experiencing now is just a long hallucination created by our dying brains?

Because there is no such thing.

Gravitational pull, huh?

How bloody convenient...

No such thing as what? Asteroids? Cosmic bodies floating aimlessly about?

Well...we could test it out...

Are you a commercial pilot?

Try plunging the plane towards the ground...

Or if you're a nuclear nation, launch as many nukes into the atmosphere as possible...

Are you trying to be all philosophical.

Bet you don't believe planets exist?

What are you - a "brain in a vat" enthusiast?

a reply to: AnakinWayneII

It's true though.

The way the solar system is set up is very, very convenient for Earth. The outer planets, Jupiter specifically, tend to deflect or even take the impact from a lot of the things that would otherwise threaten us.

Nope.

Yep.

Nope.

I agree with you.

However, it's only a measly habitable planet.

SUPERhabitable planets could hypothetically and theoretically exist.

Also, have you come across the experiment for a better solar system?

Nope.

So...so if planets don't exist, where are you now?

a reply to: AnakinWayneII

In a realm.

How much time do you have?

I can guarantee you an ELE event if you have the patience.

Peace

Well, Jupiter helps hoover up a lot of incoming objects.

Give it time though and ones apt to slip past and also come in our direction.
