>>17940940It's really tempting, if you're a nigger with some basic knowledge about physics, to look at Jewpiter and assume it protects the Earth because it's big and therefore must attract asteroids or whatever. But it's not true. Space is fucking gigantic and Jewpiter, although relatively big and massive, is actually tiny in the grand scheme of things and the chances of an asteroid hitting it are almost nonexistent. What usually happens when Jewpiter interacts with an asteroid is that it will either accelerate or decelerate it and change its course.
But that's not necessarily a good thing. What if the asteroid was going slowly towards Mars and now, after going through Jewpiter's gravitational field, is headed towards Earth at full speed? This is the problem with reddit niggers, they don't think, they just want to get excited about whatever the current gay shit is.
