What If a Dark Hydrogen Iceberg Fell to Earth?

In 2017, scientists discovered the first known interstellar object in our Solar System. Meet Oumuamua, which means “scout” in Hawaiian. What could this new astrophysical object be? Where did it come from? The verdict is still out on what Oumuamua is. It could be a comet, asteroid or maybe something else. One leading theory is that it’s a hydrogen iceberg.

    It also does not behave lile a comet. It started slowing down & changed direction

    Why science playing with life on earth? You people people just bring up something to cover your mess

    DUH, It’s a giant tootsie roll sent to earth to talk to the whales.

    So we would be fine right?

    If a dark hydrogen iceberg fell to Earth, it would likely cause a significant impact on the planet and the surrounding area.
    Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, and if the iceberg were to fall in an inhabited area, the impact could cause a massive explosion, resulting in significant damage to infrastructure and loss of life. Additionally, the falling iceberg would likely cause a significant amount of damage to the surrounding environment, potentially creating a large crater and causing landslides or tsunamis.

    The hydrogen iceberg would be extremely cold and would release large amounts of hydrogen gas into the atmosphere, potentially causing changes in the local weather patterns. If the hydrogen iceberg were to land in the ocean, it could cause a significant change in the ocean’s temperature and currents, potentially affecting marine life and coastal ecosystems.

    It’s important to note that hydrogen icebergs do not exist in nature, as hydrogen is a gas and it does not form ice. Dark hydrogen is a hypothetical form of hydrogen that is not known to exist in nature, and would be extremely unlikely to form an iceberg.

    I think it would hurt.

    dont look up



  24. Husaraki-san Akira on August 30, 2023 at 11:15 pm

    Wenn das Ding durch Gasaustritt beschleunigte,wo bleibt dann der Schweif❔❔
    Omuamua hatte ein uns noch unbekanntes Antriebssystem am Bord.
    Oder sollte ein Wasserstoffobjekt in die Athmosphaere eintreten, wuerde sich das Wasserstoff zuerst explsionsartig sublimieren,und dann abermals mit dem Sauerstoff der Erde explosiv reagieren,und eine riesige Wasserdampfwolke in der oberen Athmosphaere bilden. Der Knall waere gewaltig,das ist sicher.

    It’s a huge dildo that mother nature ordered from Amazon.



  26. Theron Simmons Awakened on August 30, 2023 at 11:16 pm

    Many scientists ACTUALLY DO KNOW..they arent cleared to release the information. It is a derelict craft. With some classified tech on board. This craft was boarded months before it was even reported. Look deeper. Much is hidden. Has nothing to do with hydrogen. **up and down blue sky** some of you already know exactly what we are speaking of. Much to come. Much to reveal



  27. Ronak Vaghela on August 30, 2023 at 11:19 pm

    It’s fake



  28. SMEONE - Odoo ERP Knowledge Center on August 30, 2023 at 11:23 pm

    Ouabuwa is actully a space ship for ailene ist standing still in the ord cloud then gose into our solar system.



  29. SmillingBuddies on August 30, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    When earth still glowing lava hot ball must be some kind like omuamua hits earth causing earth crust to be formed, the sudden extrem gap making the earth blanked with steam atmosphere.



  30. Ryan Herrera on August 30, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    I got a question does all asteroids like all ice in them or some ?



  31. Gidor on August 30, 2023 at 11:25 pm

    "Tech This Out" Is probably the best joke I’ve heard in this channels videos



  32. fishymania on August 30, 2023 at 11:26 pm

    It’s a fate of every world impacts r certain , in every billion years , if ur type 1 civilization , u can do something abut it or if ur type 0 , then ur on hell , science n tech is the answer.πŸ‘Œ



  33. Juti Foster on August 30, 2023 at 11:26 pm

    That would be a good thing.



  34. John Baron on August 30, 2023 at 11:26 pm

    Has anyone noticed that Covid mysteriously arrived less than 2 years after Omuamua’s closest approach. Giant coincidence or phase 1 of a multi-phase attack!?! Maybe Prof. Avi Loeb was rightπŸ˜±πŸš€πŸ’€.



  35. Mark48587 on August 30, 2023 at 11:28 pm

    Make a video of β€œwhat if perfection is possible”



  36. No.1 Spectator on August 30, 2023 at 11:29 pm

    I still would like to believe that omuamua is an alien spacecraft that was sent to spy our solar system



  37. Captain Jobs on August 30, 2023 at 11:30 pm

    Please create a what if episode on if Future human deviating a Hydrogen Iceburg towards Mars

    What would a penny sized rock falling from space at the speed of light do if it hit the Earth? There I just made up my own scenerio as well..



  39. What's my name? on August 30, 2023 at 11:34 pm

    "OUMUAMUA" sounds like some wakanda warcry.



  40. Metal Gaming Warrior on August 30, 2023 at 11:34 pm

    Totally not worried about space objects. The actual apocalypse is much different.
