Good morning.

I have been assigned by some unknown power to survey the planet. My question:

What do you think the best way to blow up the earth is?
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Well, this is rather old, but as for which would be the best... they each have feasibility ratings on them, just pick the most feasible (8/9 are pretty much the same...)

I read that a while back. Personally I'm a fan of #8, the sun would do the job nicely. Even if the tidal forces didnt rip us apart, the heat would still finish us off. #6 is also pretty good, but it might take a while.

Yeah, that's why I put multiselect, so if ppl can't decide.

Just drop a death star on our asses......



Im liking the sound of the big crunch

Heh heh, its like an apple.....*CRUNCH!!*

No, the big crunch is predicated on the belief that the universe will stop expanding and collapse back in on itself, sort of a reverse big bang. I believe this theory is no longer in favor, as doppler evidence shows that galaxies are speeding up in their flight away from one another, where they should be slowing down. In other words, if there is the mutual gravitational attraction of all the seperate galaxies is enough to stop their outward motion and pull them back together, then the 'big crunch' will happen. If there isn't enough, they will just keep flying outward until, well, who knows. I don't believe the explanation given on that site for this last possibility is entirely accurate, as the force that binds atoms together is not the same as gravity (not in my understanding at least), so while galaxies may eventually drift apart due to lack of gravity, I do not believe that individual planets and atoms will fall apart.
