Asteroid defense, Building particle accelerators, New asteroid defense methods
Abstract
Asteroid Defense is the greatest challenge to the survival of mankind. The study of asteroid defense began in recent decades, and as more and more asteroids are found to have the potential to hit the Earth, humans are feeling the threat to their survival. This paper aims to propose a new method of asteroid defense. This paper discusses the dangers posed by near-Earth asteroids, such as thermal radiation, airbursts, earthquakes, and tsunamis. This paper outlines current defense methods, including changing the orbit of asteroids or destroying them. This paper discusses technologies such as dynamic pushback, kinetic impactors, and nuclear interception. In addition, the results of this paper show that particle accelerators are considered a potential solution to release huge amounts of energy to destroy asteroids. Building particle accelerators in space has advantages, but it also brings significant challenges. It needs to start doing it. It can’t just leave the technology we have on paper.
