TOP 10 WAYS TO DESTROY EARTH

Top 10 Ways To Destroy Earth



10. Existence failure

You will need: nothing

Method: No method. Simply sit back and twiddle your thumbs as, completely by chance, all 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms making up the planet Earth suddenly, simultaneously and spontaneously cease to exist. Note: the odds against this actually ever occurring are considerably greater than a googolplex to one. Failing this, some kind of arcane (read: scientifically laughable) probability-manipulation device may be employed.

Utter, utter rubbish.

9. Gobbled up by strangelets

You will need: a stable strangelet

Method: Hijack control of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, New York. Use the RHIC to create and maintain a stable strangelet. Keep it stable for as long as it takes to absorb the entire Earth into a mass of strange quarks. Keeping the strangelet stable is incredibly difficult once it has absorbed the stabilizing machinery, but creative solutions may be possible.

A while back, there was some media hoo-hah about the possibility of this actually happening at the RHIC, but in actuality the chances of a stable strangelet forming are pretty much zero.

Earth's final resting place: a huge glob of strange matter.



8. Sucked into a microscopic black hole

You will need: a microscopic black hole. Note that black holes are not eternal, they evaporate due to Hawking radiation. For your average black hole this takes an unimaginable amount of time, but for really small ones it could happen almost instantaneously, as evaporation time is dependent on mass. Therefore you microscopic black hole must have greater than a certain threshold mass, roughly equal to the mass of Mount Everest. Creating a microscopic black hole is tricky, since one needs a reasonable amount of neutronium, but may possibly be achievable by jamming large numbers of atomic nuclei together until they stick. This is left as an exercise to the reader.

Method: simply place your black hole on the surface of the Earth and wait. Black holes are of such high density that they pass through ordinary matter like a stone through the air. The black hole will plummet through the ground, eating its way to the center of the Earth and all the way through to the other side: then, it'll oscillate back, over and over like a matter-absorbing pendulum. Eventually it will come to rest at the core, having absorbed enough matter to slow it down. Then you just need to wait, while it sits and consumes matter until the whole Earth is gone.

Highly, highly unlikely. But not impossible.

Earth's final resting place: a singularity of almost zero size, which will then proceed to happily orbit the Sun as normal.

Source: "The Dark Side Of The Sun," by Terry Pratchett. It is true that the microscopic black hole idea is an age-old science fiction mainstay which predates Pratchett by a long time, he was my original source for the idea, so that's what I'm putting.

7. Blown up by matter/antimatter reaction

You will need: 2,500,000,000,000 tons of antimatter

Antimatter - the most explosive substance possible - can be manufactured in small quantities using any large particle accelerator, but this will take some considerable time to produce the required amounts. If you can create the appropriate machinery, it may be possible - and much easier - simply to "flip" 2.5 trillion tons of matter through a fourth dimension, turning it all to antimatter at once.

Method: This method involves detonating a bomb so big that it blasts the Earth to pieces.

How hard is that?

The gravitational binding energy of a planet of mass M and radius R is - if you do the lengthy calculations - given by the formula E=(3/5)GM^2/R. For Earth, that works out to roughly 224,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules. The Sun takes nearly a WEEK to output that much energy. Think about THAT.

To liberate that much energy requires the complete annihilation of around 2,500,000,000,000 tonnes of antimatter. That's assuming zero energy loss to heat and radiation, which is unlikely to be the case in reality: You'll probably need to up the dose by at least a factor of ten. Once you've generated your antimatter, probably in space, just launch it en masse towards Earth. The resulting release of energy (obeying Einstein's famous mass-energy equation, E=mc^2) should be sufficient to split the Earth into a thousand pieces.

Earth's final resting place: A second asteroid belt around the Sun.

Earliest feasible completion date: AD 2500. Of course, if it does prove possible to manufacture antimatter in the sufficiently large quantities you require - which is not necessarily the case - then smaller antimatter bombs will be around long before then.

6. Destroyed by vacuum energy detonation

You will need: a light bulb

Method: This is a fun one. Contemporary scientific theories tell us that what we may see as vacuum is only vacuum on average, and actually thriving with vast amounts of particles and antiparticles constantly appearing and then annihilating each other. It also suggests that the volume of space enclosed by a light bulb contains enough vacuum energy to boil every ocean in the world. Therefore, vacuum energy could prove to be the most abundant energy source of any kind. Which is where you come in. All you need to do is figure out how to extract this energy and harness it in some kind of power plant - this can easily be done without arousing too much suspicion - then surreptitiously allow the reaction to run out of control. The resulting release of energy would easily be enough to annihilate all of planet Earth and probably the Sun too.

Slightly possible.

Earth's final resting place: a rapidly expanding cloud of particles of varying size.

Earliest feasible completion date: 2060 or so.

5. Sucked into a giant black hole

You will need: a black hole, extremely powerful rocket engines, and, optionally, a large rocky planetary body. The nearest black hole to our planet is 1600 light years from Earth in the direction of Sagittarius, orbiting V4641.

Method: after locating your black hole, you need get it and the Earth together. This is likely to be the most time-consuming part of this plan. There are two methods, moving Earth or moving the black hole, though for best results you'd most likely move both at once.

Very difficult, but definitely possible.

Earth's final resting place: part of the mass of the black hole.

Earliest feasible completion date: I do not expect the necessary technology to be available until AD 3000, and add at least 800 years for travel time. (That's in an external observer's frame of reference and assuming you move both the Earth and the black hole at the same time.)

4. Meticulously and systematically deconstructed

You will need: a powerful mass driver, or ideally lots of them; ready access to roughly 2*10^32J

Method: Basically, what we're going to do here is dig up the Earth, a big chunk at a time, and boost the whole lot of it into orbit. Yes. All six sextillion tons of it. A mass driver is a sort of oversized electromagnetic railgun, which was once proposed as a way of getting mined materials back from the Moon to Earth - basically, you just load it into the driver and fire it upwards in roughly the right direction. We'd use a particularly powerful model - big enough to hit escape velocity of 11 kilometers per second even after atmospheric considerations - and launch it all into the Sun or randomly into space.

Alternate methods for boosting the material into space include loading the extracted material into space shuttles or taking it up via space elevator. All these methods, however, require a - let me emphasize this - titanic quantity of energy to carry out. Building a Dyson sphere ain't gonna cut it here. (Note: Actually, it would. But if you have the technology to build a Dyson sphere, why are you reading this?) See No. 6 for a possible solution.

If we wanted to and were willing to devote resources to it, we could start this process RIGHT NOW. Indeed, what with all the gunk left in orbit, on the Moon and heading out into space, we already have done.

Earth's final resting place: Many tiny pieces, some dropped into the Sun, the remainder scattered across the rest of the Solar System.

Earliest feasible completion date: Ah. Yes. At a billion tons of mass driven out of the Earth's gravity well per second: 189,000,000 years.

Source: this method arose when Joe Baldwin and I knocked our heads together by accident.

3. Pulverized by impact with blunt instrument


You will need: a big heavy rock, something with a bit of a swing to it... perhaps Mars

Method: Essentially, anything can be destroyed if you hit it hard enough. ANYTHING. The concept is simple: find a really, really big asteroid or planet, accelerate it up to some dazzling speed, and smash it into Earth, preferably head-on but whatever you can manage. The result: an absolutely spectacular collision, resulting hopefully in Earth (and, most likely, our "cue ball" too) being pulverized out of existence - smashed into any number of large pieces which if the collision is hard enough should have enough energy to overcome their mutual gravity and drift away forever, never to coagulate back into a planet again.

A brief analysis of the size of the object required can be found here. Falling at the minimal impact velocity of 11 kilometers per second and assuming zero energy loss to heat and other energy forms, the cue ball would have to have roughly 60% of the mass of the Earth. Mars, the next planet out, "weighs" in at about 11% of Earth's mass, while Venus, the next planet in and also the nearest to Earth, has about 81%. Assuming that we would fire our cue ball into Earth at much greater than 11km/s (I'm thinking more like 50km/s), either of these would make great possibilities.

Obviously a smaller rock would do the job, you just need to fire it faster. A 10,000,000,000,000-tonne asteroid at 90% of light speed would do just as well. See the Guide to moving Earth for useful information on maneuvering big hunks of rock across interplanetary distances.

Pretty plausible.

Earth's final resting place: a variety of roughly Moon-sized chunks of rock, scattered haphazardly across the greater Solar System.

Earliest feasible completion date: AD 2500, maybe?

Source: This method suggested by Andy Kirkpatrick

2. Eaten by von Neumann machines

You will need: a single von Neumann machine

Method: A von Neumann machine is any device that is capable of creating an exact copy of itself given nothing but the necessary raw materials. Create one of these that subsists almost entirely on iron, magnesium, aluminum and silicon, the major elements found in Earth's mantle and core. It doesn't matter how big it is as long as it can reproduce itself exactly in any period of time. Release it into the ground under the Earth's crust and allow it to fend for itself. Watch and wait as it creates a second von Neumann machine, then they create two more, then they create four more. As the population of machines doubles repeatedly, the planet Earth will, terrifyingly soon, be entirely eaten up and turned into a swarm of potentially sextillions of machines. Technically your objective would now be complete - no more Earth - but if you want to be thorough then you can command your VNMs to hurl themselves, along with any remaining trace elements, into the Sun. This hurling would have to be achieved using rocket propulsion of some sort, so be sure to include this in your design.

So crazy it might just work.

Earth's final resting place: the bodies of the VNMs themselves, then a small lump of iron sinking into the Sun.

Earliest feasible completion date: Potentially 2045-2050, or even earlier.

Source: "2010: Odyssey Two," by Arthur C. Clarke

1. Hurled into the Sun

You will need: Earthmoving equipment

Method: Hurl the Earth into the Sun. Sending Earth on a collision course with the Sun is not as easy as one might think; even though you don't actually have to literally hit the Sun (send the Earth near enough to the Sun (within the Roche limit), and tidal forces will tear it apart), it's surprisingly easy to end up with Earth in a loopy elliptical orbit which merely roasts it for four months in every eight. But careful planning can avoid this.

This is impossible at our current technological level, but will be possible one day, I'm certain. In the meantime, may happen by freak accident if something comes out of nowhere and randomly knocks Earth in precisely the right direction. Earth's final resting place: a small globule of vaporized iron sinking slowly into the heart of the Sun.

Earliest feasible completion date: Via act of God: 25 years' time. Any earlier and we'd have already spotted the asteroid in question. Via human intervention: given the current level of expansion of space technology, 2250 at best.

BYE-BYE!

Reminiscing Ondoy..

Masasabi kong hindi ko talaga malilimutan lahat ng pangyayari noong sinalanta ng bagyong Ondoy ang Pilipinas. Aking pagkakatanda noon bago pa dumating si Ondoy nakapanood muna ko ng movies na patungkol sa mga disaster tulad na nga lang ng The day after tomorrow at ang isang movie rin na hindi ko maaaring makalimutan ay ang The Flood, dalawang beses ko pa nga inulit yun kasi natutuwa talaga ko sa mga pelikulang ganon. Kung hindi niyo pa napapanuod ang The Flood panuorin niyo na kasi parang ganun ang nangyari samin noong bumaha dito samin. Hindi ko alam kung sadyang tanga lang ang mga operators ng Dam at pinagsabay-sabay nilang buksan ang mga ito, bumaha tuloy ng sobra.

Ano nangyari noon?

Maghintay ka, kwekwento ko na oh! haha..

Malakas ang ulan ng araw na yon ang bigat sa pakiramdam nakakatamad bumangon, pero dahil may training ako nun sa Java Programming kailangan ko bumangon, pero sa sobrang lakas ng ulan hindi ko na talaga binalak pang lumabas ng bahay. Natulog na lang ako ulit parang wala lang. Nagising na lang ako mga 10:30 am? dun na nagumpisa ang lahat. Nagising ako dahil sa lakas ng tunog ng speaker ng computer, magagalit na sana ko nun sa kapatid ko pero wala pala sya dun, so ako ang umupo sa harap ng computer at ako muna ang naglaro. Peste wala pa kong 30 minutes nakaupo dun binulyawan na ko kaagad ng pinsan ko na magligpit ng gamit namin, nagtanong pa nga ko nun na may kasamang pagtataray at nakataas ang kilay, gulat kasi ako e, pagligpitin daw ba ko? adik ba to? haha.. pero nung sinabi nyang BUMABAHA na! ayun nataranta na ko.. syempre ako lang nasa bahay nun, ay hindi pala andun pala si kuya naliligo, lumabas lang sya ng CR ng may lumalabas ng tubig sa drainage, YUCK daw kasi, arte?.. haha.. ayun pagkasilip ko sa aming bintana takte ang taas kaagad ng tubig! wOooHooOoo.... 

Mabilis ang pagtaas ng tubig wala pang dalawampung minuto lagpas tao na kaagad! Ano na naman ba tong nararamdaman ko, parang natatakot ako. hahai. Laking pasasalamat ko sa Diyos at hindi man lang ako nagalusan ng kahit na kaunti sa pagharap ko sa malaking tubig, hindi lang kasi tubig kalaban ko nun habang sinisikap na maisalba ang aking buhay andyan na rin kasi yung mga naglalakihang kahoy at mga bakal na hindi ko malaman kung saan nagmula.

Nang makarating na ko sa Mount Everest ayyy sa bahay pala ng tita ko nakita ko mula sa bintana kung gaano na kataas ang tubig. Napagtanto ko na rin na ang aming buong bahay ay lubog nasa tubig tanging cellphone ko lang at ipod ang naligtas, haha.

Pinagpala pa rin talaga ko ng mga panahong yun kasi nasa loob ako nang bahay nakakatulog pa rin habang naghihintay na bumaba ang tubig, hindi ako natulad sa mga kapitbahay kong mga nasa bubong at nababasa ng ulan. Oo, nasasaktan at naaawa ako para sakanila, mga kaibigan ko yung mga nasa labas, wala akong  magawa kundi tignan na lang sila habang nananalagin. Sa kadahilanang mabilis ako mainip nagbilang na lang ako ng mga kotseng inaanod. wew haha.. 9 cars ata nabilang ko nun at mga tindahang inaanod. Pagkatapos magbilang kinamusta ko naman ang aking Cellphone ayun sa kadahilanang nabasa pala sya hindi ko pa pinipindot eh kung anu-ano na ang lumalabas, haha. wawa naman cp ko. Nang maubusan ng baterya yung cp, ipod naman ang aking pinagtripan ayos naman sya binalot ko kasi sya ng todo-todo mahal kasi yun baka ibigti ako ni mama kapag nalaman nyang nasira yun, haha. Pinagpala ako ng lubos-lubos nuh? Laking pasasalamat ko talaga at wala ako sa labas at nababasa ng ulan.

Gabi na lumalakas pa lalo ang hangin at ang ulan naguumpisa na namang lumakas. Aaminin ko nagalit ako kay LORD nun, para kasing hindi Nya ko pinapakinggan at sigurado naman akong hindi lang ako ang nananalangin nung mga panahong yun, marami kami. Maga-alas otso nang manahimik ang paligid, nabasag lamang ng nagsigawan na ang mga tao hindi dahil magugunaw na ang mundo kundi bumababa na ang tubig, nakahinga na rin nang maluwag, nagpasalamat ako kay LORD nun at humingi rin ng tawad kapal ko kasi e, hindi naman tamang magalit ako Sakanya, nakalimutan ko kasi Diyos nga pala Sya gagawin Niya kung ano ang nararapat.

Umaga nang makita ang epekto ng baha sa lugar namin, nagulat din ako sa naging itsura nang bahay namin, sadyang kaawa-awa. At habang nanghihinayang ang lahat sa mga nawala nilang kagamitan ako'y nanatiling nakakapit sa pangako ng Diyos na "my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:19 at bakit ako mangangamba kung sinabi rin ng Diyos na "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ²⁶Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life^[b]?" Matthew 6: 25-27.

Pagkapit lang kay LORD ang tanging naging lakas ko ng mga oras na sinasalanta kami ng baha. Kahit nasa kalagitnaan ako ng kalamidad patuloy pa rin Sya sa pagbibigay at patuloy akong iniingatan hindi lang ako kasama na ang aking buong sambahayan.

POR LAYP!

Ang hiwap mangako mga pwends.

Tao lang din ako! haha.

Sorry, hindi ko na natuloy yung 365 DAYS,

supah naging busy lang sa school.

Ngayon ko nga lang ulit nadalaw tong blog.

Pagkatapos ko kasi mag-resign sa org na hindi ko maintindihan

kung ano talaga ang trabaho ko, nawalan na rin ako ng gana mag-updates ng blogs ko.

Ikaw ba naman may limang blog na MUST ang pagupdate hindi ka mataranta sa mga deadline! haha

Mabuti pa tong BLOGSPOT kahit next year ka pa magpost ulit ayos lang! Libre lang din naman kasi to. Hindi ako kumikita. haha.

Ano pa ba? wala na... tama na to.

NEXT TIME NA LANG ULIT.

MAYBE next year. hehe..  ^_^

nagtataka ka na naman kung ano konek ng title sa BODY? haha..

wala no? POR LAYP akong magulo kausap! haha!!!!

You change my life...

You made it right. You touched my heart, right from the start.

IKAW ang BUHAY ko.

Hindi na KITA kayang PAKAWALAN pa.

MAHAL na MAHAL KITA e.

I LOVE YOU LORD!!!

HAGGARDNESS...

Two weeks kami halos pinagod sa mga activities.

Una, ginawa kaming Sports Commitee para sa SportsFest. Ayoko na maulit yun, hehe. 1 week kami nakababad sa ilalim ng araw, mula umaga hanggang hapon, walang patawad. Sinasabi ko to hindi dahil umaangal ako, kundi pasalamatan yung dalawa kong Prof. na nagtiwala sa section namin. hehe. Nakakapagod at nakakagutom pero ayus lang kasi hindi naman namin masyadong pansin dahil na rin siguro sa kalokohan at kulitan namin. Parang mga batang hindi nauubusan ng kakulitan.

Ayan super negra na kami pare-parehas!

Natapos naman ang SportsFest ng masaya at matiwasay. ^_^

SEPTEMBER 13-17, 2010

Isang linggo rin na nakakapagod. Walang katapusang paghahanda para sa 'History Week'.

May first time na naman akong ginawa dito. Nagsayaw ako sa harap ng maraming tao. Iww talaga. Short-shorts ang suot, sana mapatawad ako ni Lord dito, hehe. Nag-apply ng make-up ng kaunti para na rin sa pakikisama sa grupo, haha. Napasubok talaga ko dito. Masaya naman kahit papano, may nasubukan akong iba, lumabas ng kaunti sa shell, pero bumalik ulit pagkatapos magsayaw, ayoko talaga nun! haha.
