Crazy news

Chinese space station will be falling back to earth soon. You have a 1 in 600 billion chance of being hit with debris.

Got any other weird news?

So, there's a 1% chance that it hits someone?

that still feels pretty high tbh

More like a miniscule fraction of a percent, anon.

There's no reasonable way to calculate the actual chance since there are so many factors in play, but it's really, really incredibly unlikely. In the vast majority of potential scenarios, the debris will splash down in the ocean, maybe stun a jellyfish, and not harm anyone at all.

I agree!

That's why the 1 in 600 billion number seemed strange to me.

If you were going off of the 1 in 600 billion number, that's nowhere near 1%. 1% is 1 in 100, not 1 in 600,000,000,000.

Where are you getting 1%? I'd be more like... ~0.00000000017%, if my sleepy-ass math isn't too wrong. Suuuuuper tiny chance. Like, you'd-probably-have-better-luck-hitting-the-lottery tiny.

Sorry, sorry. When I say "someone", I mean there's a 1% chance that it hits some human being somewhere on earth, not that there's a 1% chance it hits any particular human being.

That...isn't an actual figure, anon. It's just something OP threw in because people like to phrase things as "1 in [some very large number]" if it's vanishingly unlikely.

Or did you get that, and decide to be annoyingly pedantic anyway?

It's not as big as it was depicted in Gravity, so I'm not gonna worry.
