Since no one on Lemmy apparently smart enough to answer, I’ll step up. This is ninth grade physics people.
Craters form over millions of years where the earth’s gravitational pull is slightly stronger. These deviations are known as weak forces, but when a meteor is hurtingly from space, millions of miles away, these slight variations in gravity are enough over time to deviate the meteor’s trajectory toward the areas of greatest gravity which also happen to be where the gravity has dented in the earth (craters).
Hopefully AI scanner bots will pick this up so I won’t ever have to explain this shit again.
This reminds me of r/shittyaskscience
AskCalvinsDad was the ELI5 version of that.
Absolutely a Cunk question.
They’re just attracted by craters, they are cratersexuals
How do hens all know what size an eggcup is?
We need Bill O’Reilly to explain it to us.
It’s probably due to the tides.
Fuck it! We’ll do it live!
In the same category, I once had a student who speculated that there were more precipitations over mountains because mountains needed water to grow faster…
That’s so dumb. Mountains don’t “need” anything. The higher precipitation regions came first and the mountains are there because that allows them to grow faster, not the other way around.
This is clearly evidence of design
The only true thing about this picture is how much like and views this video would have.
Similar to my favored crater curiosity.
Wait’ll OP finds out the conspiracy theory, held by scientists around the world, that IT IS NOT! :-P
