   hy your logic the sun is 300 times greater thaa earth so it will pull 4 times more than jupiter so no asssteroid will hit earth ever.

   This is yet another example of how unsustainable and prone to collapse our modern industrial societies are.

   
   You announce it like it's some kind of empirical fact, when it's really just a bunch of people saying it, and you have to take their word for it.

   It would be very rare for a large asteroid to hit Earth, for that very reason.

   The truth is once we use up all of Jupiter's gravity no more asteroids will be deflected and then our doon will be nigh
   
   We should conserve Jupiter's gravity for larger asteroids.

   Maybe we could pipe some of our gravity over there. Then again, Biden would probably blow it up.

   It's happened thousands of times already so not that rare in absolute terms

    Asteroids with a 1 km (0.62 mi) diameter strike Earth every 500,000 years on average. Large collisions – with 5 km (3 mi) objects – happen approximately once every twenty million years.

    Oh course like London busses you can wait 30 mins for 1 and then 3 come along all at the same time.

    so given the fact that the earth is 4 billion years old so its a very common incident.

    Of course that's the thing about random events...the fact it hasn't happened recently doesn't mean it wont happen TOMOOROROROWOWOW.
