Asteroids violate the second law of thermodynamics

[mscoffman]

If a piece of rock torn from the moon in a collision is floating around with a velocity of 1 meter/second, and then Earth's gravity captures it, and accelerates it more and more, until  reach an acceleration of more than 9 m/s², and the rock impacts Earth surface with a velocity tremendously greater than when it was floating in the space, where the energy came from?

This was caused by the Big Bang. The Big Bang separated the components
and caused the matter in the asteroid to have potential gravitational
energy relative to the matter that formed in the earth. So any infalling
body in space is a standard energetic reaction operating by converting
potential energy into heat and/or vibration.

Actually to intercept the earth a meteoroid needs to have a certain
correct "aiming" and certain speed momentum. This is because a
closer orbit is actually more energetic then a further one. The
moon moves away from the earth by loosing orbital energy via
tidal interaction, rather then coming closer and crashing into the
earth. You fire a rocket to add energy. You fire retrorockets
to de-orbit a spacecraft.

the big bang is a theory...

So we just need a magnetic "Little Bang" to separate something from Earth and enjoy the fall, extracting our dear eletricity!

[Rapadura]

So, I think if some day we can develop a "magneto-gravitational" generator that generates very much power at very low cost, we should do some calculations before we turn this in a large scale method for generating gigawatts of power to mankind, trying to antecipate how its prolonged use can affect Earth's rotation and translation movements.

1) The second law of thermodynamics assumes a "closed" system.

2) According to Bodes' law of average distances, there should be a very sizable planet right about the middle of where the asteroid field is. Bode was pretty much spot on in his calculations-
