In a pivotal scene, the characters attempt to divert the asteroid by using (specifically "Geotopia" crystals). a time characterized by repeated glaciations.
The idea of using electromagnetism to deflect an asteroid is a legitimate theoretical concept in space exploration, often referred to as a magnetic dipoles or ion beam deflection . In the film
