Study on uses of atomic bombs against asteroids.




The study was published on November 28, 2025, with the title "Dynamic development of the resistance and stability of asteroid material under the irradiation of a 440 GeV proton", this study is about testing nuclear bombs against asteroids. Although researchers have been very cautious and have tried not to pronounce the word atomic bomb, because they would have censorship problems, they could get into political problems and, of course, launching atomic bombs against asteroids, in certain countries and nations it is not seen well.


There isn't much more option either, you can't launch a proton cannon, there is no proton cannon, there are no proton cannons, they will be in the Star Trek series or in Star Wars, but in the real world they have not yet been invented, the only way to launch a proton beam is with an atomic bomb, so there is not much more option, they have ignored, they have subliminally hidden the term nuclear bomb in their study.


What they have done is simulate that proton jet against a metallic meteorite. and I mention meteorite because they have not used an asteroid to make the simulation, because asteroids are not in space, meteorites are the ones we have here on Earth, they have used a meteorite that is on Earth and it is also one of the famous ones, it is one of those from the “sky field”.




It's one of the most exciting asteroid impact stories out there. The sky field has that beautiful name, it is also in the north of Argentina there was a shower of iron meteorites, it had to be something impressive and terrible, about 4000 to 5000 years ago, we are not talking about millions of years ago, it was in pre-historic times, there were already humans there and I hope they didn't catch any because if there were any humans there, they stayed there.

It was a rain of iron meteorites and some huge ones, in total 26 impact craters have been recorded and the largest was about 91 to 115 m in diameter, it is assumed that it was a large metallic asteroid that broke up upon entering the atmosphere and caused this rain of metallic fragments; There are two huge ones, the Chaco of 37 tons, that is more than a panzer tiger tank, to give you an idea, imagine that a panzer tiger tank of more than 37 tons falls from the sky and the Gancedo with about 30 tons another tank and at the speed they fall, it must have been something terrible.


These two are on display, you can visit them and you can see them, if you have the chance, the scientists made a simulation taking those as reference metallic meteorites from the sky field, a real reference to a real object in the cosmos that impacted the Earth about 4000 or 5,000 years ago and they bombarded it with beams of ultra-powerful protons with those 400 GeV and they did it in the CERN facility, the same one that is used to test materials under extreme conditions.




What they have discovered is that metallic asteroids are harder and more resistant than previously thought, especially when they are subjected to very intense energy pulses, like those used in this test, converted to the real world. If we are threatened by an asteroid that we also consider may be metallic and that is on a collision course with the Earth, how can we get that beam of protons? Well, there is no proton cannon, so the only option we currently have is a nuclear weapon.


If we discover that asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth and we have time, we could use that nuclear weapon, in this case it would not be to impact the surface, nor would it be to explode inside it, but what would make the bomb explode close to it, a remote detonation that would generate that intense pulse of V rays and neutrons and protons, which would cause the surface layer of the asteroid to rapidly heat up, vaporizing it and creating a jet of plasma that would act as a push, diverting it from its trajectory.


It would be like activating a reactor on the surface of the asteroid using the material on the surface of the asteroid, to do this you launch the bomb and a few meters before impact you make it explode, the heat and all that energy melts that section of the surface of the asteroid and when it melts and transforms into steam into gas it comes out in a jet and deflects the asteroid, it would be a quite intelligent option because if we try to break an asteroid in addition to these metallic ones, it may happen that we have an event like the "sky field", that is, a rain of tanks that fall on us.


So it would be an interesting option, it would not be destroyed, it would be pushed, it would move so that it does not impact with the earth and that it would avoid a rain of tanks, of metal blocks that would fall on us, it would be one of the most real options in our planetary defense.

I'm always worried that someday, Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) or call it asteroids, would fall on planet earth; this could be disastrous. So, if atomic bombs could be used to check the hazard, it's a welcome idea, provided such action won't have adverse effect on the earth atmosphere

Don't worry, most of the objects are studied, and it is very unlikely that a big one will crash into Earth in the next 100 years.
