Detailed 30 FPS simulation of Chicxulub (~200 km in diameter) simulation that likely wiped off 75 percent of Earth's species 66 million years ago. For reference, Mt. Everest is 8.8 km in elevation.

  • Crazy to think that, for a period of time, this impact crater was both the highest and the deepest points of earth *simultaneously* Deeper than the Marianas trench and higher than Mount Everest

    • It goes about 40 kilometers deep at some moment in this animation, that's pretty much throughout the crust of the Earth. I think that black line in the animation marks the mantle? We see even that wave up and down here, even though it doesn't break like the crust.

For context that's around 100 teratons of tnt equivalent, or 100 million megatons of tnt. The total yield of all our nuclear weapons is a few thousand megatons at most. Not even close. The asteroid impact would have released 10s of thousands of times more energy than our entire nuclear arsenal.

  • Great job on this amazing simulation, Brayden! If you don't mind a suggestion, I think it would give us an even more realistic idea of how the event happened if you slowed down this animation to real time, but then to keep the sense of just how huge and insanely powerful this blast was, place recognizable large buildings and monuments sized to scale on the ground to the side of the impact site, maybe starting around the 25km mark, then perhaps show them get blasted away along with the ground underneath them. If it would be too much work to try to accurately show them get blasted away, you could sinply keep them statically in place as silhouettes to remind people where the ground once stood.

    • The earth's rotational energy is almost a million times more than the energy of the asteroid. And most of the kinetic energy went into heat and the crater formation and the ejecta because the impacting body is not really that solid - it's a rubble pile kind of thing. So the earth's rotation would have hardly felt a blip.

If anything, it was a fountain of magma splashing into low earth orbit and raining hellfire upon most of the planet for weeks.. maybe longer. That's why there are deposits of Iridium scattered across the globe carried by the asteroid itself and splashing it around the World on impact.
