Contrary to popular beleif, nukes dont actually do much to defend against incoming objects.Considering Nibiru is allegedly a planet, it would pretty much nothing at all to the planet.Remember this?That means it would take a 51,147,27,533,460 Megaton explosion just to stop the earth from rotating, and you want to try to move something similarly large?It would actually be worse, if you were to blow up an incoming asteroid, since it increases the area in which it causes devastation.Although in the case of Nibiru if something that big hit us it really wouldn't matter if it was in pieces or in whole, we would be toast all the same.Scientists estimate that the solar system's habitable zone will leave the area around earth in ~1 billion years. So in about a billion years earth will resemble mercury or Venus.
correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the idea of using nukes meant to blow the planet off course, not blow the planet up?
but the planet is massive, and a nuke is tiny compared to it. Thats like trying to knock Earth off orbit with nukes. Not gonna happen
the hope (so i think) is that the shockwave will be enough to push the thing away. even if it is moved by one degree, if it is a billion miles away (or whatever) it will change its trajectory.
