Then a few seconds later impact
The meteor is made of rock.
Rock doesnt burn
You sure about that?
lol.
Have you tried burning a rock?
You wont get very far
It just glows red
Well, I just witnessed one flash, while in the air.... supposedly.
So... must of just been stuff on the rock.
Whatever the news says.
When things are hot they emit light
Hence the flash
You know...
I can elabourate but you probably dont want to know
There is a deimentary rock, that burns quite well?
You might of heard of it...
It's called "coal"
Again....
I'm not here to debate.
*sedimentary
Coal is made of mostly carbon
Like 99%
lol.
Is it a rock?
Yes.
lol.
Were you wrong?
Yes.
Will you admit it?
Things burn because of combustion reactions with carbon and oxygen
No.
coal is a special case
meteors afaik are not coal
If the meteor doesnt contain carbon it wont necessarily burn
_moves the goalposts back farther than necessary_
Is that good enough?
lol
Should I move them closer to you?
is this fake or real?
