(Begin ZetaTalk[TM])
Compression and heat do not create explosions unless the object being compressed and heated is an explosive mixture. The core of your Earth is both HIGHLY compressed and very hot. Is it exploding? Pistons explode not due to compression but the spark from a spark plug in combination with the explosive mixture put into the piston. If the meteor was so volatile that it would blow up without a trace, turned to tiny pieces of dust that dispelled, then how did it make it all the way through the Earth's atmosphere, to say nothing of its travels out in space?

And lastly, do X-rays cause explosions? Can you tell us where this occurs, or is this theory? Perhaps all those denstists with X-ray equipment in their offices should be put on the FBI list as being potential terrorists.
