Even modifying the orbits of moderate sized asteroids would be difficult with modern rocketry. A planet would be impossible to stop. It has too much mass to counteract with any force humanity would have to offer.

But it makes one wonder how an actual planet, not just an asteroid, was on track to hit Earth in the first place. The premise feels like the evolution of the 'sun is about to fall into the earth' SHTF pasta.

The problem is that you'd have to hit it so hard that all the pieces of the planet accelerated away at escape velocity from its center. Even if you set off every nuke ever made all at once at the core of a planet, you're not even close to that. Like, a millionth of a percent of what it would take.

>>34462498
because it's cold and no solar energy to harvest so creating a self-sufficient base with food production would be hard. And if it's not oribiting a bright star, good luck navigating to it with ease, especially if the albedo is low. Also if you don't have magic FTL, travel to and from is entirely impractical

>>34456280
>makes one wonder how an actual planet, not just an asteroid, was on track to hit Earth in the first place.
Planets sometimes get flung out into space by massive gravity wells (think Jupiter sized planets, brown dwarfs, stars, black holes, etc). It's believed something like this happened to cause the moon to form. A Mars-sized planet collided with proto-Earth, spewing mass into space. This mass eventually became the moon (and probably have us enough iron to form or current core which helps keep us safe from cosmic rays).

>>34462505
>Theia would have formed in about the same orbit as Earth, but about 60° ahead or behind.
http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2007/07/the-theia-hypot.html

Oxygen, Zinc and Iron isotope compositions (collected on the moon and compared to Terran samples) indicate, that earth and the "moon" formed around the same time (+/- 100 million years). IF "proto-moon" were a rogue planet it would have had to form a long time before Earth, to be able to travel the distance, before entering the Solar System. I will admit, this is hypothetical (in the scientific sense), there is no current theory (scientific) for the formation of the moon, anyway.

>>34462713
oh, still a cool fact, I mean, getting hit by another body from our solar system.

What kind of planet? If it's a rock one then I imagine weapons like bombs, lasers, cannons, grappling hook and using our planet to swing it away, etc. But if it's a gas giant then I guess a series of leaf blowers should do it.

>>34455928
Nope, the mass of the planet would be too much for any amount of energy we could create to deflect, let alone destroy or break it up enough to not become a huge cloud of debris acting like a shotgun. We can't even deflect a large asteroid, let alone detect one reliably enough to track, launch, and deflect or destroy one.
I think we could probably build a large laser in space to deflect an asteroid, but it would cost an enormous amount and would rely on a bunch of nation's working together and working inhumanly efficiently for like, a hundred years.
Look at the ISS, it's basically a shit science project compared to what we are capable of, but this still doesn't come close to the tech needed to produce the amount of energy needed to "destroy" a planetoid or planet, or even medium asteroid.
Tldr: we can't possibly defend ourselves from a harmful extrastellar object of any reasonable or likely mass, because we don't have the energy or tech output

>>34462493
Well sure, but even if you took all the uranium in the world and used to to build a single massive nuke, it still wouldn't have the power to obliterate an entire planet.

Assuming it isn't moving at relativistic speeds (in which case we'd have so little warning it probably wouldn't matter), we'd have hundreds of years of advanced warning. Best 'fix' would be to start popping ion drives on asteroids, and positioning them to pull the incoming planetary mass into a safe trajectory, possibly even a stable solar orbit.

The part about the the grappling hook or the part about the leaf blowers. Cause both could work if we really tried. The hook can work by using the momentum of the planet rotating to swing the incoming planet off course. Sort off like in the Kung fu movies.
The leaf blowers would be a combination of civilians using theirs and their fans. While the worlds governments operate industrial size leaf blowers and fans thus pushing the gas giant away. And if we got machines like haarp on our side to control the weather we might be able to use the power of tornados and hurricanes to our advantage.

There's plenty of good stuff, just not in the hollywood/ Sci Fi & Fantasy shelf (singular) of your local chain book retailer that only stocks Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars books.

Somewhat related but look up projectrho/ atomic rockets if you want some cool scifi reading

I noticed that no one has mentioned that even if you blow up the planet, you'll now just have a massive cloud of shrapnel and rock heading towards Earth. Even if only 1% of the planet's mass was going in our direction it would fuck up the planet.

All these punks in here claiming .45, 10mm etc would do it

>That moment when you realise there's could be planets bigger than our sun or suns that have hundreds of planets orbiting around them

No.

A planet as big as a star would be a star. Either it has the mass and gravity to keep hydrogen/ helium fusing, or its just a big gas giant.

Also no on the second because the majority of the mass in solar formation gets put into Giants and Stars, leaving around 1% for rocky planets, asteroids, moons and gravel. At any more than around 10 things get too unstable, resulting in planets colliding with each other or being ejected from the system out right. A stable star system has already done this, and we have no reason to assume our solar system is in any way special or odd in that regard (minus hosting a life-bearing planet).

the reality is a bit worse. we have pulsars wrecking the universe with death rays randomly. even a glancing hit from a cone like that would cauterize earth and make it sterile. then there are the rouge stars and black holes smashing though the galaxies with 70-80% of the speed of light. i mean you don't even have to be hit by one for it to jumble up everything in the solar system.

>>34471524
TL;DR if you'd passed your emtry-level high school physics (which I'm guessing you didn't because two paragraphs is "too long"), you'd know that star-sized planets literally cannot exist because they'd be fucking stars. The literal thing that separates planets and stars is that one is heavy enough to support fusion, one isn't.

Not enough to affect planetary collisions for an object travelling at the speed it would be if ejected from a star system, nor enough to affect during the astronomical distances between celestial bodies. If two planets are close enough to be affected by each others' gravity to the point that they're going ti impact, they were already close enough that the odds of such a scenario happening are ridiculously small.

That's not to say a jupiter-sized rogue planet crusing through the System wouldn't fuck up orbits and stuff because it would; but the odds of one getting anywhere near close enough to actually impact isn't likely.

>>34455928

Who knows man there are many mysteries out there in the universe. We only know about as much as we can see and only see so much with what we have. In short I beleive somewhere out there maybe in another galaxy you could be right about the the planet thing. There always has to be some anomaly.

Since there is no maximum yield for hydrogen bombs unlike nuclear bombs, you could theoretically make a big enough H bomb to crack a planet in half. We should have one just in case this exact scenario happens, and all other preparations and plans fail.
