Yep, all you wanna-be's that want destroy earth; here's your guide to ideas on how to accomplish it. I can't guarantee any success, due largely to the fact you will need a bank account large enough to play poker vs Bill Gates.
Anyway, it's a fun read, so enjoy.

You do realize that 1) this sounds like a challenge and 2) with the ability of the people on this board, I'm slightly afraid they're going to accomplish this...

Quite the read, though perhaps a little more fitted to humor! My favorite excerpt from the "Will definitely NOT destory the Earth" category - "Gay Marriage"

Anybody come up with any ideas that our buddy Sam didn't cover?

For another end of the world check outExit Mundi. It's not quite as funny as the one you mentioned, but it's a bit more complete.

That just made my day. Thanks!

That's hilarious in a super-geeky way. I find myself very curious about this "Sam." Geeks are sexy, and trying-to-destroy-the-world geeks are inexplicably even sexier.

Having a degree in geography that was a good refresher on the subject matter.
Very interesting though.

And here I was having all my friends helping me try to prove that 1=0. Guess it's back to the drawing boards.

For earth moving, I figure a matter-antimatter reaction would be best.

The earth has about 3 * 10^33 J of kinetic energy, and 2 * 10^29 Ns of momentum

The Kinetic Energy of the earth has a mass of about 3*10^16 kg. That's alot of antimatter. Feh, back to the drawing board.

Hmm. How about a superstring? It is a macroscopic linear singularity predicted by brane theory.

SPOILERS for a book.





Or Greg Bear's Forge of God method. Which works out to "have really heavy objects hit each other really hard in the middle of the earth". The plan in the book is, actually, more than a little overblown. If the 'bezerkers' are as common as they are in that novel, then we have already sent out sufficiently taunting messages. So, blame Hitler for his overly-loud TV broadcast!

I thought the Superstring Theory was just a proposed explanation of how the universe was created. Care to explain further? I wanna know if my Astronomy professor had some bad theories going on.

I was under the impression that brane theory predicts the existance of large-scale 1-branes (ie, really large (as in super) strings) in our 3 dimensional universe.

Brane theory is what string theory has evolved into: the strings of string theory being very small 1-branes (1 dimensional, or line-like, thingies). One explanation for the universe in brane theory is that our universe is a (4-brane?) embedded in a 10-dimensional space. It's collision with/bounce off of another 4-brane caused the "big-bang" or was the big bang.

All of this information is just at the popular science level. I am not a physicist, and the ones I know aren't doing brane-theory.
