A new list of “wonders” has appeared on the New Scientist website. It includes things like the Bikini Atoll’s rejuvenation 50 years after being bombarded with atomic bombs, the two-note “humming” of the Earth, and 750,000 year-old ice cubes in the Canadian Arctic.

The Discovery Channel created a simulation for an asteroid impacting the Earth and someone synced it up to Pink Floyd.? It’s mesmerizing and also scary.? So please NASA get on the phone and get Billy Bob and The Affleck on standby.
Would there be any way to survive this?? What if it was a tiny asteroid, because the one in the video looks ginormous. Or would I have to throw on some Pink Floyd and let the cool cosmic vapors wash over me and turn me into Pompei 2.0?? [via]
