What is “Apophis”?
(A) A new anti-anxiety drug
(B) The latest sensational racehorse
(C) The search engine which will blow away Google
(D) The name of James Cameron’s next film.
Answer:
The asteroid that will hit the Earth in 2036.
Maybe.
“Based on available data, astronomers give Apophis - a
1,000-foot wide chunk of space debris - a 1-in-15,000
chance of a 2036 strike. Yet if the asteroid hits,
they add, damage to infrastructure alone could exceed
$400 billion.”
But this solves Social Security, right?
