10 most effective ways to permanently destroy the Earth Bashny.Net

News recently full of reports that in the near future of our planet can come to an end. Nuclear war, reduction of tropical forests, even more air pollution - and everything, the planet dies. We would like to reassure you: despair early, to destroy the Earth is not so simple, it did not survive this.

Our "blue ball" weighs 5, 9736 · 1024 kg, and it has 4, 5 billion years. During this time, he got more than asteroid impacts than the average person eats dinner in my life - and nothing, still spinning, and many species live and prosper, including ours. So, what should happen to the Earth still was destroyed? Blogger Sam Hughes tried to answer this question.

1. Land may just stop suschestvovat



Nothing not even need to do. Some scientists have suggested that once all of the innumerable atoms that make up the Earth, suddenly and spontaneously importantly, at the same time cease to exist. In fact, the probability of such a turn of events is about one googolplex. A technology that allows you to send into oblivion as the active substance, it is unlikely there will ever invented.

2. It will be absorbed strangletami



All you need - a stable Strangelets. Seized control of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York and use it to create and maintain stable strangelets. Keep their stability until they get out of control and not turn the entire planet into a mass of "strange" quarks. However, to maintain stable Strangelets incredibly difficult (if only because none of these particles have not yet found), but creativity anything is possible.

Several media some time ago talking about this danger and that it is this and is doing right now in New York, but in reality, the chances that a stable Strangelets ever be formed, practically zero.

But if it happens, on the site of the Earth will be only a huge ball of "strange" matter.

3. It will be absorbed by microscopic black dyroy



It takes a microscopic black hole. Please note that black holes - not eternal, they evaporate under the influence of Hawking radiation. Average black holes it takes an unimaginable amount of time, but very little that happens almost instantly: the evaporation time depends on the mass. Therefore suitable for the destruction of the planet's black hole should weigh something like Everest. Create this difficult, because it takes a certain number of neutrons, but you can try to manage huge number of compressed together atomic nuclei.

Then we need to put a black hole on the surface of the Earth and wait. The density of black holes is so high that they pass through ordinary matter like a stone through the air, so that our hole will fall through the Earth, paving its way through its center on the other side of the planet: the hole will scurry back and forth like a pendulum. In the end, she absorbed the material enough to stay at the center of the Earth and "eat up" the rest.

The probability of such a turn of events is very low. But not impossible.

And in place of the earth will be a tiny object that would start to rotate around the sun, as if nothing had happened.

4. explode as a result of the reaction of matter and antimaterii



We need 2 500 000 000 000 antimatter - perhaps the most "explosive" substance in the universe. It may in small amounts be prepared by any of a large particle accelerator, but in order to achieve the required number, takes a long time. You can come up with an appropriate mechanism, but it is much easier, of course, simply "flip" 2, 5 TRIL. tons of material through the fourth dimension, in one fell swoop turning it into antimatter. The result will be a huge bomb that just tear the earth to pieces.

How difficult is it to implement? The gravitational energy of the planetary mass (M) and the radius (R) is given by the formula E = (3/5) GM2 / R. As a result, the Earth will require approximately 224 x 1010 joules. The sun produces so much for almost a week.

To free up so much energy, it is necessary to destroy all at the same time 2, 5 TRIL. tons of antimatter - provided that the loss of heat and energy will be zero, and it is unlikely to succeed, so that the number will have to increase tenfold. And if so much antimatter still managed to get the remains simply run it to the world. As a result, the release of energy (known to all the law E = mc2) Land smashed into a thousand pieces.

At this point it will be the asteroid belt, which will continue to revolve around the sun.

By the way, if you start to produce antimatter right now, given the current technology to the 2500-th year, you can just finish.

5. It will be destroyed by the detonation of a vacuum energii



Do not be surprised: we need light bulbs. Modern scientific theory is that what we call a vacuum, in fact, can not rightfully be called so, because it is constantly there and destroyed in huge amounts of particles and antiparticles. This approach also means that the space enclosed in any light bulb contains enough vacuum energy to boil every ocean on the planet. Therefore, vacuum energy could prove to be one of the most affordable forms of energy. All you need - is to find out how to remove it from the bulbs and use, say, the power (to get there quite easily, without arousing suspicion), to start the reaction and let it get out of control. As a result, the released energy will be enough to destroy everything on Earth, possibly with the sun.

In place of the Earth will rapidly expanding cloud of particles of different sizes.

The probability of such a turn of events, of course, there is, but it is very small.

6. Zasosёt a giant black dyru



Need a black hole, extremely powerful rocket engines and possibly a large stone planetary body. The closest planet to the black hole is located at a distance of 1600 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius, orbiting V4641.

Everything is simple - you just need to put the Earth and the black hole closer to each other. To do this, there are two ways: either to move the Earth in the direction of the hole, or hole in the direction of Earth, but effective, of course, move both at once.

I realize it's very difficult, but definitely possible. At the site of the mass of the Earth will be a black hole.

The drawback - too long to wait for any technology to do so. Similarly, until 3000, the year plus travel time - years 800.

7. Carefully and systematically dekonstruirovana



It will take a powerful mass driver (ideally - a few), and access to approximately 2 * 1032 joules.

Then it is necessary to take a large piece of land at a time and run it outside the Earth's orbit. And so over and over again to run all 6 sextillion tons. Mass driver - a kind of electromagnetic rail gun huge, proposed a few years ago for production and transportation of goods from the moon to Earth. The principle is simple - load the catapult and shoot stuff out of it in the correct direction. For the destruction of the Earth is necessary to use a particularly powerful model to inform the object space velocity of 11 km / c.

Alternative methods for dumping material into space suggest the space shuttle or the space elevator. The problem is that they require a titanic amount of energy. More could build a Dyson sphere, but the technology is likely to allow a year to do commercials in 5000.

In principle, the process of dumping material from the planet can start right now, humanity and so sent into space a lot of useful and not objects, so that up to a point no one would notice.

Instead, the earth will result in many small pieces, some of which will fall on the sun and the rest will be in all corners of the solar system.

Oh yes. On the implementation of the project, taking into account the dumping from the Earth a billion tons per second, it will take 189 million years.

8. disintegrate into pieces under attack blunt predmeta



It will take a huge heavy stone and that is what it tolknёt it. In fact, Mars is fine.

The fact that there is nothing that can not be destroyed if hit it hard enough. Nothing at all. The concept is simple: it is necessary to find a very, very large asteroid or planet, give it astounding speed and push to the Earth. The result is that the Earth, like the object that hit it, will cease to exist - just disintegrate into several large pieces. If the blow was strong enough and accurate, the power of it will be enough to overcome new objects mutual attraction and never came back to the planet.

The minimum allowable speed for the "bump" of the object - 11 km / s, so that, provided that the energy loss is not our object must have a weight of about 60% of the earth. Mars weighs about 11% of the mass of the Earth, but Venus, the nearest planet to the Earth, by the way, weighs 81% of the Earth's mass. If you overclock stronger than Mars, it is also nice, but Venus - and so is almost an ideal candidate for this role. The greater the speed of the object, the less weight it may have. For example, the asteroid weighing 10 * 104, running at a speed of 90% the speed of light, would be just as effective.

It is quite plausible.

Instead, the earth will remain pieces of stone about the size of the moon, scattered throughout the solar system.

9. The machine swallowed background Neymana



Need only one of von Neumann machine - a device that can create a copy of itself from fossil fuels. Create one that will work exclusively on iron, magnesium, aluminum and silicon - in general, the basic elements found in the Earth's mantle and the core. The size of the device is not important - it is able to reproduce itself at any time. Next, lower the machine under the earth's crust, and wait until the two cars will create two more, these - eight more, and so on. As a result, the Earth will be absorbed by the throng of von Neumann machines, and they can be sent to Sun with the help of pre-cooked rocket boosters.

This is such a crazy idea that might even work.

Earth will turn into a big piece, gradually absorbing the sun.

By the way, potentially such a machine can be set up in the year 2050 or even earlier.

10. abandoned in Solntse



We need special technology for the motion of the Earth. The idea is to throw the Earth into the sun. However, to provide such a clash is not so easy, even if you do not set a goal to get the planet precisely "target". It is sufficient that the Earth was close to him, and then the tidal forces would tear it to pieces. The main thing - to prevent the Earth went into an elliptical orbit.

At our level of technology it is impossible, but someday people will come up with a way. Or have an accident: out of nowhere appears some object and the Earth will push in the right direction. And on our planet will be a small ball of iron evaporating, gradually sinking in the sun.

There is some chance that something like that will happen within 25 years: before astronomers have noticed in space suitable asteroid moving towards the earth. But if we ignore the random factor, that the current level of technological development of mankind would be capable of it until 2250, the year.
