What would happen if you were in the exact spot that a small meteor touched down but you punched it right before it impacts the ground?
>>
>>8264790
You would die or be injured, depending on how small it is.

It would probably scrape all the skin off your knuckles, break your fingers, burn you, and potentially cause finger mutilation. Depending on how you hit it you could break your wrist and the two bones in your forearm.

Also if you lock your elbow it could dislocate it.

You ever punched a cannonball?
>>
>>8264832

The meteor wouldn't be traveling as fast as a cannonball

It would ricochet into the sun and the world would live to see another day.

It would get reflected back at the angle of incidence, obviously. This is a basic principle of optics.

Chelyabinsk, 2013.

You know damn well you wouldn't need to be anywhere near touching that thing to get incinerated by it or at least get crunched into the ground by its shockwave.

I am an American acquainted with the geography of Russia. Therefore, I happen to know without searching that "Chelyabinsk" is a region of russia (an oblast, I think), in the southwestern part of the country, not far from Kazakhstan.

Now, I will search the suggestion of your picture, of course "chelyabinsk meteorite" or similar. But any context that you'd care to share ahead-of-time would be welcome.

I also notice that Chelyabinsk is far to the west of the more famous Tunguska event, in Siberia.

>>8264790
More than likely it wouldnt even be noticeable except for your scattered body parts in the area.
>>
>>8264790
the meteorite is carrying a shitload of newtons
your pathetic arm cannot possibly hope to match the number of newtons that the meteorite possesses
you won't even break your first against its surface
you'll get incinerated by the heat coming off of it before that
of course, that's after the brightness blinds you

>A red hot, pea-sized piece of rock then hit his hand before bouncing off and causing a foot wide crater in the ground.

>The teenager survived the strike, the chances of which are just 1 in a million - but with a nasty three-inch long scar on his hand.

>He said: "At first I just saw a large ball of light, and then I suddenly felt a pain in my hand.

>>8264790
Of course you can predict where meteors will land, since they always land in craters, but there is no way you could the timing of such an event to that kind of precision.

isn't it crazy convenient how meteors always land in big holes?

I like this one because it shows the delay before the arrival of the shockwave, and how powerful it still was after thinning out over some 50 km

Guys, captain here, a small meteor wouldnt be very fast. It would burn up almost all his energy in the atmosphere and would hit the ground/your fist with just its terminal velocity.

*flies away*

fucking this.
dont know why it took so long

OP just shoot an rock at similar speeds and keep your arm in proximity of the trajectory - see what would happen for yourself.

Just give it the ol' Falcon Punch. I'm sure you'll be fine.
