That's kind of dangerous..

If it breaks up into really small pieces that will burn up, great, but what if it breaks into like 3 or 4 pieces that are still big enough to cause damage? :usure:


It's hard to predict how exactly it would shatter so it's safer to just push it out the way.
thats the reason we should test it out to gauge how powerful it needs to be, and if its even possible to shatter it in the first place.

If it shatters most of the smaller pieces would burn up in the atmosphere before it can hit the ground

Precisely: the reality is far more sinister-- if we attempt to shatter an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth, you might make things worse.

The kinetic energy remains the same, as most of the fragments still hit the Earth with nearly the same force anyway.

So you've only turned one giant explosion/airburst/collision in to many smaller ones, with no way of knowing where the other pieces will hit, nor the size of those fragments, which still can devastate the local area and climate. And because of physics, you're still warming the atmosphere, so it's best to try to divert the object altogether.

This is not even taking into account the type of bomb we'd use to blow it up, as if we used a nuclear bomb, you're now sending billions of irradiated fragments all over the Earth. Think Chernobyl, but like 1000 times worse

Here's a calculator that sheds a bit of light:
