Reply to comment by TheOnesWhoWander in NASA's DART asteroid smash flung 2 million pounds of rock into space by shellystarzz

Unless there are some big chunks or the giant asteroid got thrown off course. I know from listening to Jeff Goldblum explain chaos theory in Jurassic Park that we should expect such an occurrence.

The Chelyabinsk impact was over ten times the ejected mass, 906 tonnes vs 12,000 tonnes. Even if all 906 tonnes hit at once in a single impact it would be nothing more than a bright fireball and maybe a boom loud enough to set off some car alarms

Jurassic Park is not a documentary.

First off...really? Lol. I was being sarcastic and joking around. At the same time, I was implying that I knew something about chaos theory which yes, would include such a possibility. Second...a piece of information being from a documentary doesn't mean it's factual.
