Ways To Destroy Planet Earth

By: Sam Hughes 

preliminary 
Destroying the Earth is much more difficult than you imagine 
You've seen action movies where the villain threatening to destroy the planet Earth. You often hear in the news about people who claim that the coming nuclear war, or the logging of tropical forests, or the release of terrible pollution into the atmosphere will continually bring the world at the end point.

Stupid 
Earth formed to survive. He is 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000 ton iron ball weighing 4.55 billion years old. He experienced more asteroid (destructive) over their lifetime than your dinner, and he was still orbiting happily. So my first suggestion to you, who wants to be a destroyer of Earth, is: DO NOT ever think that this would be easy.

This is not a guide for people who are just aimed at wiping out humanity. I (Sam Hughes) can not guarantee the destruction of the human race entirely with these methods, real or imaginary. Man is smart and resourceful, and many of the methods below which will take many years to be achieved, let someone do it, so humans may be spread to other planets, or even a system of star (star system) other. If the total human genocide is the supreme goal, then you're reading the wrong document. There are some more efficient way to do this, a lot of these measures are already available and can be done NOW. This document is not a guideline for people who want to destroy everything from single-celled life or more, and also not a guide to make the Earth can not be occupied, or simply conquer it. It is an ambition that is not important.

This is a guide for people who do not want the Earth to exist.

statement of Purpose 
In order for this document to be accurate technically and scientifically, I will decide our goal: turn the Earth into something other than a planet or minor planet, in ways necessary.

International Astronomical Union defines

Planet as: A celestial body that

1. Being in orbit around the Sun.
2. Have sufficient mass to overcome the force of its own gravity heavy object so as to form (nearly round) hydrostatic equilibrium
3. Area (neighborhood) around its orbit has been empty.

And small planets as: A celestial body that

1. Being in orbit around the Sun.
2. Have sufficient mass to overcome the force of its own gravity heavy object so as to form (nearly round) hydrostatic equilibrium
3. The area around its orbit is not empty
4. Not satellites.

These definitions to immediately propose a very simple way to strip the Earth of keplanetannya, such as throwing it into interstellar space, move it into orbit around the gas giant, or move it to orbit the sun, whose land is not empty (the main asteroid belt is a the easiest option). Which is a bit easier is redefining the "planet" so as not to cover the Earth. Naturally, these methods (so far, the latter is the method most likely to do) will not be taken into account - redefining something does not make anything was missing.

Therefore, we only faced with the challenge of changing the physical structure of the Earth significantly, or reduce its mass is such that it can maintain a round shape. For example: blow it up, turning it into a cloud of dust, combine it with a celestial body larger, and others.

Methods to Destroy Earth 
One of the methods listed here should really work. According to the understanding santifik this time, the Earth must be possible to be destroyed by this method, however impossible and not practical.

These methods are prepared in accordance with the possibilities. The possibilities are divided into ten - is based on instinct destroy that is in me and did not reflect the true mathematical probability.

Some methods require to move the site to a certain distance away from the usual orbital path. It is an essay, so a separate page has been created for it.

1. Destroy the Earth with an equivalent amount of antimatter
   You need: a planet like Earth is made ​​of antimatter. Antimatter - the most explosive substances - can be produced in small amounts using large-sized particle accelerators, but to produce the desired amount of time it would require insanely. If you can create the right machine, then maybe you can find or collect a boulder the size of Earth and then "flip it" through dimensional space 4th, turning them into anti-matter simultaneously. 
   Method: If you have produced antimatter, probably in space, luncurkanlah entirely toward Earth. The resulting release of energy (based on the mass-energy equation of Einstein's famous E = mc 2) is equivalent to the amount produced by the Sun in approximately 89 million years. Alternatively, if the engine is inverting your material a little more flexible, change half the Earth into antimatter (say, the Western Hemisphere) and watch the fireworks (fireworks). 
   Last shape Earth: When matter and antimatter collide, they destroy each other as a whole, not leaving nothing but energy. Will remain on the Earth is the sparkling lights that expands in space forever. This method is one method that is most permanent and total in this list, because the actual materials that make up Earth cease to exist / live, making it impossible for him to raise the planet back. 
   The possibilities: 2/10. Creating antimatter IS something that is possible, so, technically, it IS possible method. But because the engine-inverting matter-antimatter might be just a science fiction, we take that very, very much to do so. 
   Comment: With the amount of antimatter, which is significantly smaller, you can blow up the Earth - to meet again. 
   Source: This method proposed by Thomas Wooten.
2. Troubleshooting / division (fission)
   You need: a breaking machine of the universe (eg particle accelerators), unimaginable amounts of energy. 
   Method: Take some single atom on planet Earth and each is broken down individually to be hydrogen and helium. Solving the heavier elements into hydrogen and helium are the opposite of self-maintaining reaction / automated mentenagai Sun: This requires that you put energy where energy needs here very much. 
   Last shape Earth: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune is a gas giant composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, they are massive enough to hold on to their thin atmosphere. Earth is not the gas will disappear. You must have a gas plume where certainly there was no planet. 
   The possibilities: 2/10. Technically it is possible, but again, very inefficient and time consuming. You need a minimum of billions of years, the brothers. 
   Source: This method proposed by John Routledge.
3. Sucked into the black hole of microscopic
   You need: a microscopic black hole. 
   It should be noted that the black hole is not eternal, it evaporates due to Hawking radiation. For black holes were, you take unimaginable, but for a very small black hole, can occur almost instantaneously, as evaporation time depends on the mass. Therefore, microscopic black holes you must have a mass greater than a certain threshold mass, roughly equivalent to the mass of Mount Everest. 
   Creating a microscopic black hole is a complicated thing, because we need a considerable amount neutronium, but may be achieved by stacking the atomic nucleus in large numbers until they are attached. It is the duty of you, the reader. 
   Method: Place the black hole on the surface of the Earth and wait. The black hole has a high density so that it can pass through ordinary matter like a stone through the air. Black holes would plunge penetrate the soil, take the path to the center of the Earth and all paths to the other side: then, it will oscillate like a pendulum absorber material. In the end he would stop at the Earth's core, after absorbing enough material until he slows down. Then you just have to wait while he perched, and spent material to Earth as a whole disappears. 
   Last shape the Earth: One single object (singularity) with a radius of about 9 millimeters, which will then begin orbiting the sun with a happy as usual. 
   The possibilities: 3/10. Very, very unlikely. But not impossible. 
   Comment: Come! 
   Source: The book The Dark Side of the Sun works of Terry Pratchett. It is true that the idea of a microscopic black hole is an ancient science fiction flow that precedes a much earlier Pratchett, Pratchett is the source of my first idea, and that is what I am describing.
4. Oven baked in the sun
   You need: Equipment for focusing a few percent the Sun's energy output directly to Earth. What am I talking about here is: mirror, plenty of mirrors.Catch some medium-sized asteroid as a raw material, and start cranking some sheets (km 2) of reflective material lightweight (mylar-coated aluminum, aluminum foil, paper nickel, iron paper, or whatever you can collect). These materials must be able to change direction to focus on when desired because in general it is impossible we can put something that does not move in space while the relative positions of the Earth and the Sun is constantly changing with the passage of time, so embed some manoeuvering thrusters (plunger movement) as well as the navigation system and communications on each sheet material was. 
   Initial calculations suggest that you would need a mirror covering an area of approximately 2 trillion km 2. 
   Method: Adjust the focus as much as possible in order to concentrate the sun's energy directly to Earth - could be at the core of the Earth, could at one point on its surface. Thus, according to the theory, this will cause the temperature of the Earth generally increases until it evaporates completely, in a cloud of gas. 
   There is one variation on this method, the conversion of the Sun into a giant hydrogen gas laser. 
   Last shape the Earth: A cloud of gas. 
   The possibilities: 3/10. The main issues are: What should be done to stop the material from being cooled off and become a planet back? In short, when the top layer of the planet into a gas, so what can force him off into space rather than surviving on the surface, absorbing more heat and prevent the bottom layer so as not to heat up? Unless the amount of heat entering really a lot, you'll need is a gas planet, though temporary. Moving the Earth to the Sun (later you can read below) seems to be a method which is much more reasonable. 
   Source: This method was proposed by Sean overwriting.
5. Rotated very quickly
   You need: Some tools accelerator rotation of the Earth. 
   Accelerate the rotation of the Earth is slightly different from the moving Earth. External interaction with asteroids may be able to move the Earth but would not produce a significant effect on the speed of rotation. You need to build a rocket or railgun at the equator, all facing toward the West. Or maybe something more unusual ... 
   Methods: The theory is, if you rotate the Earth quickly enough, he would be separated because the fetter on the equator started moving fast enough to overcome gravity. In theory, one revolution every 84 minutes should be able to do it - even lap slower still able - but in fact, the Earth will become more flat and it becomes easier to get off while you're playing faster. 
   The possibilities: 4/10. It can be done - there is a certain upper limit on how an object like the Earth to spin before detaching. However, turning a planet much harder than moving it. It's not as simple as installing a rocket that leads to each direction on each side ... 
   Source: This method proposed by Matthew Wakeling.
6. blown up
   You need: 25,000,000,000,000 tons of antimatter. 
   Method: This method requires the detonation of a bomb so big that blew up the Earth to pieces. 
   This, at least, require a large bomb. All explosive materials ever created, nuclear or non-nuclear, and didetonasi collected simultaneously, so that it will produce a large crater and damaging the ecosystem of the planet, but just a little scratch the surface of the planet. There is evidence that in the past, asteroids hit Earth with a burst of 5 billion Hiroshima bombs - and such evidence is hard to find. In short, it is difficult for us to change the structure of the Earth significantly with the explosion. Not to mention the problem of gravity. Blow up Earth in pieces does not mean you make it to smithereens forever. If you do not blow hard enough, the pieces will gather back because their gravitational attraction of reciprocity, and the Earth, such as the liquid metal Terminator, will form the back of the tiles were destroyed. You have to blow up the Earth's hard enough to overcome the attraction. 
   How difficult was it? 
   If you do the calculations carefully, you will find that to release as much energy as the same as completing the destruction of around 1,246,400,000,000 tonnes of antimatter. It bore the loss, zero energy (zero energy) into heat, neutrinos, and radiation, which can not be happening in reality: You may need to raise the proportion of at least 20-fold. If you have produced antimatter, probably in space, luncurkanlah entirely toward Earth. The resulting release of energy (based on the mass-energy equation of Einstein's famous E = mc 2) should be enough to divide the Earth into a thousand pieces.
   Greg Bear's novel, The Forge of God, contains an interesting demeanor about this technique. In this novel, the antagonist instead generates anti-matter in the form of "bullets" antineutronim - super solid material which has a mass of billions of kilograms per cm 3. It was fired into the Earth's core. Neutronim pass through ordinary matter as easily as the ball flying through the air, so that the anti-neutronim bullet does not necessarily destroy; but, he built a protective plasma sheath around him when he went to the core of the Earth.This is then followed by a bullet neutronim usual, which also falls into the core, with the time that has been calculated to collide (interface) with the first bullet right in the center of the Earth, where they destroy themselves, and soon after, the Earth itself , This extremely space-efficient, and also added bonus of energy that would be released in the Earth's core, where it (the bullet) can do the greatest destruction. In the book, the antagonist detonated several nuclear warheads simultaneously within a certain ocean trenches, to weaken the crust and make the planet Earth can be blown into pieces more easily. 
   Reconstitute the Earth into two planets - which, according to my criteria now are sufficient, for the time being - will require less energy, but it is more subtle. 
   Last shape Earth: The second asteroid belt around the sun. 
   Comments: Trembling I wrote, "I still think that antimatter was crazy, because I do not want it there on my pancakes." Charles MacGee presenting alternative sources of explosion in his blog; This method requires the creation of an explosive energy to merge the lighter elements in the Earth's crust (magnesium and oxygen). Of course, this requires the discovery of magnesium efficient fusion bomb. And then change all the layers of the earth into a bomb.Very unreasonable! Indeed. Obscurantism is a relative thing. 
   The possibilities: 4/10. As little as possible.
7. Sucked into a giant black hole
   You need: A black hole, extremely powerful rocket engines, and large objects rocky planets (optional). Black holes that are closest to our planet is at a distance of 1600 light years from Earth in the direction of Sagittarius, orbiting V4641. 
   Methods: After finding the black hole, you need to confront them to Earth. It seems to be part of the most spent in this plan. There are two methods, moving Earth or moving the black hole, though for best results you'll likely have to move both of them together. See Guide to the moving Earth for more detail, about how to move the Earth. Some of the methods listed can be applied to a black hole as well, although obviously not all of them, because it was impossible to physically touch the black hole, let alone build a rocket on it. 
   Last shape Earth: Be a part of the mass of the black hole. 
   The possibilities: 6/10. Very difficult, but definitely possible. 
   Source: The book The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams's work; http://www.space.com . 
   Comment: It is clear that the Earth dropped into the singularity is carnage and massive. Fairly strong gravitational fields, such as those associated with an object between Jupiter and the neutron star, would be enough to tear up the Earth through the tidal force. This possibility is described further below.
8. Carefully and systematically deconstructed
   You need: An advocate of the masses. Driving mass is a kind of very large electromagnetic railgun, which was proposed as a way to mine recover materials from the Moon to Earth - basically, you just fill in the plunger and fired it up in the right direction. You must be powerful enough draft to reach a speed of 11 km / sec. 
   Millions of tons of mass is pushed out of the Earth's gravity per second would take 189 million years. One driving masses are sufficient, but ideally, many (trillions) driving mass can be used simultaneously. Alternatively, you can use the elevator space and conventional rockets. 
   Method: Basically, what we want to do here is to explore the Earth, a large chunk of time, and the overall push into orbit. Yes, all six sextillion tons. 
   We will ignore the atmosphere consideration. Compared with the extra energy needed to overcome air friction, burning up the Earth's atmosphere before starting the process is a relatively trivial matter. But by doing so, this method would require - let me assert it - a very large amount of energy. Build a Dyson field will not cut it. (Note: Actually can. But if you do have the technology to build a Dyson field, what do you read this document?) 
   Last shape Earth: Becoming a lot of small pieces, some fell into the sun, the rest are scattered in the Solar System. 
   The possibilities: 6/10. If we want and are willing to devote resources to it, we can start this process NOW. Of course, with all sorts of rubbish left in orbit, on the Moon, and headed into space, we've done it.

9. Crushed by a collision with a blunt instrument
   You need: A big rock and heavy, something with a little swing ... maybe like Mars. 
   Method: Basically, anything can be destroyed if you hit him hard enough.ANY. The concept is simple: find a planet or asteroid that is very, very big, and then speeding it up to a dazzling speed, and rocking it to Earth, should interface but it's up to you. 
   The result: a very spectacular collision, resulting in the Earth (and most likely, "cue ball" we also) terlumat of existence - crushed into a number of large pieces is the impact is strong enough that if it should have enough energy to overcome the force of gravity reciprocity and eliminate it forever ever, never again coagulated into a planet. 
   A brief analysis of the required size of the object can be obtained here. Fell with minimal collision speed of 11 km / sec and bear the loss of zero energy into heat and other energy forms, kiunya ball should have approximately 60% of the mass of Earth. Mars, a planet outside Earth, weighs approximately 11% of the mass of the Earth, while Venus, the planet on the Earth and is also the closest to the Earth, weighs about 81% of the mass of the Earth. Assumed we would shoot the ball cue us to the Earth at a speed greater than 11 km / sec (I think about 50 km / sec), one of these can produce great possibilities. 
   Obviously the smaller stones can perform these tasks, you only have to shoot faster. Note also enlarging mass, 5,000,000,000,000 ton asteroid at 90% the speed of light can do. See Guide to the moving Earth to obtain useful information about how to move large chunks of stone between the planets.For chunks that are smaller, there are more options - Bussard ramjet (shoveling hydrogen among the stars on the front and fired to the rear as a propellant) is one of the most technically possible today. Of course it takes an increase ... 
   Last shape Earth: Being a kind of boulders the size of the Moon, scattered haphazardly in the solar system larger. 
   The possibilities: 7/10. It makes perfect sense. 
   Source: This method proposed by Andy Kirkpatrick. 
   Comment: Earth believed to have been hit by a Mars-sized object at a particular point in the past before the surface cools. This results in a clash of huge ... Moon. You can download a video simulation of the collision from this page. Because Mars-sized object hit the Earth is certainly not as hard as we propose with this method, it is a proof of our concept. 
   Lots of facts and useful planet can be found here.
10. Thrown into the Sun.
    You need: Earth moving tool. Method: Throw the Earth to the Sun, in which he will be melted and vaporized rapidly by the Sun's heat. 
    Banging the Earth to the Sun is not as easy as we thought. Contrary to popular opinion, the Earth's orbit is "stable" and the Earth will not go up into the sun if we give him a boost weak (if not, you can bet, it really would have occurred). Surprisingly, for an end to the state of the Earth is in an oval orbit rotating baking it for four months every eight turned out to be easy. To avoid this requires careful planning. 
    Last shape Earth: Being a small spark iron evaporate, sink into the core of the sun. 
    Comments: Based on the energy changes, this method is lower than the next method. 
    This method is basically a variation of the Sun Oven method above, where you have to bring the Sun to the Earth (arguably so). 
    The possibilities: 9/10. Odds according to the level of technology we have now, but maybe someday, I'm sure. In addition, it can happen through a freak accident if something came out and hit the Earth at random in the right direction. 
    Source: Book Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers Grant Naylor works.
11. Torn apart by the tidal force
    You need: Earth mover tool. 
    Methods: When something (like a planet) orbiting something else (like the Sun), the closer he (the planet), the faster orbit. Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, moving faster than the Earth, while the Earth is moving faster than Neptune, the farthest planet. 
    Meanwhile, if you are closer to the Earth and sun, you will find that the side of the Earth facing the Sun wants to orbit the Sun more quickly than the side of Earth facing the other direction. It causes tension. Bring the Earth as close as possible (with the Sun-Desc), in an imaginary boundary called the Roche limit, and the tension is achieved will be large enough to completely tearing the planet Earth. This will form one or more rings, like the rings around Saturn (maybe Saturn's rings came from this process). Thus, our method?Earth Moving into the Roche Limit sun. Or, better, move it to Jupiter. 
    Moving the Earth to Jupiter as well as the Earth closer to the Sun, the most obvious difference is the choice of vector lines. However, there is another important consideration, namely energy. To raise or lower an object in a gravitational field requires energy, to push the Earth to the Sun requires energy, and to encourage him to Jupiter requires energy. If you do the calculations, bringing it closer to Jupiter actually a bit better; requires less energy 38%. 
    Alternatively, perhaps it would be easier if the move of Jupiter to Earth. 
    The theory like this: wake up a tower or "candle" giant free-standing, the bottom end is in the depths of Jupiter and the top edge leading into space. Put the machine inside the tower to capture hydrogen and helium gas as a fuel, through ports in the middle, and the release of these elements driving past the fusion at the top and bottom of the tower. The tower is called "wax" as he lit up at both ends, you see? Then: fire directed down towards Jupiter used to make the tower remained afloat (although it takes some driving secondary fusion to keep stable and upright). But the bottom of this fire does not have a direct effect on Jupiter / wax system as a whole, for all the encouragement of the fire is absorbed by Jupiter himself. Both of these objects (Jupiter and wax-Desc) are locked together, as if balanced on the source of the fire or something. Therefore, the upper fire can be used to suppress candles and Jupiter. Fire upper pressing the candle so that pressing the planet. It's a bit unorthodox, and it only works on a gas giant, but as a way to move the planet, is at least quite reasonable as methods of driving time and gravity are described on page earthmoving. 
    Last shape Earth: Being a blob of heavy elements, torn apart, sinking into the cloud layers of Jupiter is big, and never seen again. 
    The possibilities: 9/10. As before, this is impossible according to the level of technology we have now, but someday may be, and besides, it could happen through a freak accident if something came out and hit the Earth at random in the right direction. 
    Source: Mitchell Porter who proposed this method. Daniel T. Staal gave me instructions on wax fusion technique, which he obtained from Mercenary shlock this comic, a comic inspired by the novel A World Out of Time the work of Larry Niven.

Methods of Backward 
If your best efforts fail, you do not need to be disappointed. There is nothing eternal life; Earth, ultimately, doomed, whatever you do. Here are ways that the Earth can naturally doomed. (No need any more arrangement possibilities for better this way). Set in mind that none of these ways that require a certain activity on your part to be successful.

1. Damage to the existence of total
   You need: None. 
   Method: no need methods. Easy, sit down and circled both of your thumbs because, by chance, two hundred thousand million million million million billion trillion atoms that make up planet Earth suddenly, simultaneously and spontaneously, ceased to exist. Note: for a person, the barrier to this, which actually never happened, greatly outweigh googolplex (1.0101 million).Therefore, a mysterious type of tools (read: ridiculous scientifically) for manipulating contingencies may be used. 
   The possibilities today: 0/10. Even if you look at the Earth's most likely randomly rearrange itself into two separate planets, it is simply a nonsense.

2. Removed with a blow of a collision stars
   You need: One other stars. Small white nor anything, but we need not fuss. 
   Method: Your star pounded into the sun. 
   The interaction between the two stars, the star collision events that is very hard, will cause more fusion occurs in the Sun than the time normally within 100 million years. The result is somewhat akin to a supernova explosion, although more slowly - a number of materials and energy shocking released out, burn the Earth to a crisp and fired into interstellar space, at best burn completely. 
   The last form Earth: Pieces and pieces of burning. Level possibilities: 4 / 10. It is registered in the natural methods because it is very unlikely you can move a star. Indeed, there are several ways and means, but if you can move the star, then why not move the Earth to the star? And the chances of these events - although given that two billion years, the Milky Way will bertubrukkan with Andromeda - a very, very thin. Calculations performed suggest that the number of star collisions that may occur in the exchange is SIX. Six occasions in about a hundred billion years. Ehmm. It was too high for this list. So the possibilities 5/10. Source: This method was proposed by Eric Thomson.Comments: See note supernova below to find out more about this Andromeda collision.
   
   
   
   
3. Swallowed when the Sun enters the red giant stage
   You need: Patience. Methods: Easy, wait for about 5 billion years. During the development of natural whole sequence principal, Sun will spend up their fuel and expand into a red giant star - swallow Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, in the process. The last form Earth: Iron red boiling in the core of the sun.Level possibilities: 8/10. The problem is the current scientific theories have predicted that the Earth might be able to survive. The solar wind increases, coupled with declining solar masses, will be formed in the Earth's orbit gradually move to larger, cooler, and more secure.
   
   
   
4. Chewed / crushed / dimamah
   You need: More patience. Methods: Our universe is expanding rapidly in all directions. It is likely to continue in the future is very, very old. After this period, if the density of matter in the universe is larger than a certain critical value, then the universe will slow down and stop because of their mutual gravitational attraction, and, approximately 42 billion years from now, will deflate back, the opposite of Big Bang called the Big Crunch. The conditions during the Big Crunch will be similar to the Big Bang: a very high heat, split the material into subatomic particles, the fundamental forces such as gravity and the electromagnetic reunite, and other things of that sort. Yes, the Earth will be destroyed. And will be the end of the universe. A small iron balls only a small chance to survive the conditions. The last form Earth: Plasma quark-gluon? Pure energy? The next part of the universe? Level possibilities: 8/10.Make sense. The assumption that the Big Crunch will actually happen, it is still questionable. Source: Nick Snell who proposed this method.
   
   
   
   
5. torn
   You need: Half of patience that much. Methods: The results of recent experiments seem to show that the expansion of the universe was not slowing down as often imagined. In fact, the expansion was actually accelerating. It is too early to say for sure what the cause, through the expression of dark matterand phantom energy very often arise, but anyway, it is estimated that if the ratio of dark energy pressure w: density of dark energy in the universe is about -3: 2, then 20,000. 000,000 years from now, the universe will expand, the expansion will increase rapidly until the torn lining. Quoting Wikipedia: "At first, the galaxies are separated from each other, then gravity becomes too weak to maintain the unity of each galaxy. Roughly three months before the end of the period, the solar-solar system will be in spite of gravity. At the last minute, stars and planets would collapse, and the atoms will be destroyed a few seconds before the end of the period. "Amazing, is not it? The last form Earth: HAH! If I knew, I would not need shaving soap. Level possibilities:8/10. Maybe. The assumption Big Rip theory is correct, but maybe yes, maybe not. Source: This theory proposed by Robert R. Caldwell, Marc Kamionkowski, and Nevin N. Weinberg in February 2003. Read it here (PDF Warning! Also, physics difficult and heavy!). This theory was introduced to me by Jonah Safar.

   You need: Patience is beyond all things. Method: If the Big Crunch is not the case, and the Big Rip is also not the case, then we have to remember on the third option: Big Chill. In this case, the universe will continue to expand.Then the law of thermodynamics will take over. All galaxies to be isolated from its neighbors. All the stars will die. Everything becomes colder up to the same temperature. And after that, there'd never be another change in the universe. Forever. Many things can happen in a long time. Proton, for example, although it is very stable, it is believed it will eventually rot like other particles. So easy, waiting for 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years, and roughly half of the particles making up the Earth's principal will decay into a positron and a pawn. If you think it is too similar to a planet, you can wait another 1,036 years, until leaving only a quarter of the Earth. Or even wait any longer. In the end, will remain Earth-sized as small as you want. This latter form the Earth: An assortment of positrons and gamma radiation (pawns decompose immediately into photons of gamma rays) are spread thin across the universe.Comments: comparing this method with the above method (total existence of damage) is something interesting. What we are doing is essentially the same thing, but as a substitute for the notion that all particles disappear simultaneously, we will wait patiently for a significant proportion of particles with disappeared, one by one, over a period of time that is unimaginable.Basically, we've circled selingkaran full. Scientific theories used is the same, just change the time scale the possibilities of "very unlikely" to be: Level possibilities: 9/10. If all other methods fail, the method basically can not be stopped ... Source: This method was proposed by Joseph Verock.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Bobby Florea proposed me an alluring idea that "Developing a destructive form of life on Earth" could be counted as an additional natural methods to destroy the Earth. With the position we are now, and you're still reading this article, for a while it seems this plan is a plan for the most distant. Of course, this can be taken as "zero step" (step zero) in all artificial methods listed at the top, and not at all original methods ...

Other ways that are less scientifically that the Earth could be destroyed 
following methods which in theory sounds good, but it may not really work, because of its scientific basis is not valid. Read it.

1. Whipped with cosmic string
   You need: A cosmic string and lots of luck. Methods: According to the hypothesis, cosmic strings are 1-dimensional spacetime damage, which allowed since the early phases of the universe, such as cracks in the ice. They most likely are objects that span the universe, thinner than a proton but has a density that is unimaginable - the mass of the Earth per 1600 m! All you have to do is get in near-Earth cosmic string, and then he (the Earth) will be torn, torn to shreds, and inhaled. Perhaps the entire solar system will also be experiencing the same thing. The last form Earth: String. The level of probability: 1/10. Very impossible. Even cosmic strings actually exist, certainly not there, probably only about ten in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. And they can not be steered, unless you have power like God, where you may also be able to throw the Earth into the Sun and have used it, so you're just relying on luck. It'll Never Happen. Source: This method was proposed by Dan Winston.
   
   
   
   
2. Dilahap out by an unknown obstacle (Strangelet)
   You need: An unidentified material. 
   The material is not known it is a form of matter that is denser than neutronium. Theorized that to form neutron stars are massive when the pressure inside becomes too big for the existence neutronium: each neutron is composed of neutronium actually broken into quarks unknown. The neutron star then be "unknown" which is basically a single giant nucleons. 
   Some theories suggest that a lump of unidentified material ( "strangelet") may remain stable in addition to the intense pressure created it. This, theoretically, allows the unknown material in various sizes entirely down to the atomic scale in order to survive. Further theorized that the gravitational field of microscopic unidentified material was enough to gobble up everything in contact with it, turning it into more unknown material. Methods: Plow only control a particle accelerator machine. I recommend the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider located at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, New York. Use the RHIC to create an unidentified material that is large enough to remain stable. If you've created, your job is finished: relax and wait when the material is not known waterfalls penetrate to the Earth's core, where it will eventually engulf the entire planet. The last form Earth: blob small matter unknown, perhaps a diameter of about one centimeter. The level of probability: 3/10. Evidence of the existence of an unidentified material was still incomplete; There are some neutron star that seems too small for neutronium made ​​of, there are some earthquakes that might be caused by an unidentified microscopic material that is penetrating the Earth at high speed, but that's it. And even if there is a possibility that the unknown material are small and stable really exist and swallowing up material in the manner described above, the possibility pembentukkannya in a particle accelerator is zero.
   
   
   
3. Swallowed into a supernova
   You need: Mercury or Venus and the planet moving tool. And also, patience.Methods: This promises to be one of the most efficient and spectacular way in the destruction of the Earth, so if you have the necessary expertise and machines, I recommend it compared to the other methods. It's easy, for the Sun to suddenly stop all fusion reactions nuclear, so he will collapse and explode with sufficient energy to illuminate the entire galaxy in a moment. So far, the best advice about how to use this method is by dropping a huge hunk ( let's say the size of Earth) non-fusable iron into the core of the sun. Of course, it can only destroy the Earth once. Mercury or Venus is another alternative, but their composition is largely unknown. Alternatively, when the Andromeda galaxy bertubrukkan with the Milky Way, Earth and throughout the solar system could have been torn from its orbit and closer to the galactic core just as the two central black holes are very large (from each of the galaxies) bertubrukkan. If this happens, the power of the collision is enough to trigger the other stars are close to becoming supernovae other and destroy the Earth.The last form Earth: Seoles iron volatile moves in the universe at a speed of approximately 5% of the speed of light. Level possibilities: 5/10. It is not known whether dropping Mercury or Venus to the Sun could produce such an effect as well. It is impossible also that galaxy collisions would lead to Earth trapped in the middle. Source: The book The Songs of Distant Earth by Arthur C. Clarke.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Shaken to pieces
   You need: An earthquake machine Nikola Tesla, modified to operate at the resonant frequency of the Earth. Methods: Nikola Tesla is known to use a small tool he called earthquake machine to destroy a skyscraper that is only half built. This tool detects the resonant frequency of the rigid structure of the building and give it energy - little by little - at that frequency. Vibration generated and shook the building up into pieces. Tesla theorized that the engine is powerful enough to destroy the entire planet Earth, but he did not draw the design of the device for fear someone would actually do. You may want to consider the size of the asteroid with the time careful. The last form Earth: Perhaps, became boulders that continues to expand. The level of probability: 2/10. When that happens, the planet Earth, whose structure is no longer solid, rigid, or uniform, did not have a single resonant frequency. He had dozens of resonant frequency, and big movements (like an earthquake) caused waves with three different types penetrate the structure of the Earth with a speed that is changing, everything is mixed up. Separation and focusing one of these frequencies in order to work is impossible because of interference (noise-Desc) is, not to mention that the energy produced by about ten points will disappear into ketidakterhinggaan after one round trip, and that transmits energy kinetic into the Earth is a very inefficient, and that when the earth began to shake significantly it will probably be in pieces, doing something that can be predicted, return to nothingness, and forcing you to start again ... No, mechanical resonance with engine Tesla it will not work. of course, the electromagnetic resonance is a completely different thing.Electromagnetic waves can make a round trip around the planet Earth at a frequency of 7 hertz. But it is not clear how this works.
   
   
   
5. Reduced to completely vacuum
   You need: A vacuum bubbles that kept floating. 
   Some scientific theories say that we understand as the vacuum is only vacuum on average, and in fact it is growing fast with lots of particles and antiparticles that appear constantly and then destroy each other. However, there is the argument that small bubbles of false vacuum can decompose spontaneously at any time into a true vacuum is truly empty. Typically, such a bubble will shrink until it disappeared instantly, but the right circumstances it can continue to expand forever, and ultimately destroy the entire universe.Methods: There is no method, because the bubble as it is a quantum effect that can only be'm really into existence spontaneously, not by human tricks.You just have to wait it was formed. This latter form the Earth: Unknown.The level of probability: 1/10. First, it may actually nonsense. Second, if not totally nonsense, it is likely to happen is obviously very large. This is unprecedented in the last 13.7 billion years; it seems unlikely to happen.Source: This method proposed by Adam Mansbridge.
   
   
   
   
6. Hollowed-sized wormhole
   You need: A bridge Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen stable, aka a wormhole .Methods: Depending on how bertenaganya your technology, there are several possible methods. Bridging the center of the Earth to the center of the Sun can be managed very efficiently, where the Sun's heat of millions of degrees will soon boil the Earth from the inside. Alternatively, create a wormhole large core of the Sun and the other end of the space farthest, so you can quickly release all fuel sun accelerate their transition to the Red giant phase. Stream all of these fuels quickly enough and maybe you will be able to cause a supernova. You can even bridge core of the Earth with the space farthest, causing the Earth to explode into - although remnants shaped toothpaste appeared at the other end will be back forming a planet. The last form Earth:changing, Level possibilities: 2/10. wormhole may actually scientifically impossible, and even if they could, would we be able to make a wormhole in the center of the Sun? Come on. Source: This method was proposed by Daniel Swartzendruber.
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Dispensed through the passage of time
   You need: A time machine and explosives / equipment to move heavy stones.Method: Use your time machine, go back in time about 4.5 billion years ago briefly (several billion) before the formation of the Earth. To be sure you find a place that is a young Sun and additional surface composed of dusty material / rocky that would later become our Solar System. Discover the piece of material that is likely to condense into Earth. Then blow up, solve, and not confuse these materials so that he would never have a chance to come together and form the Earth. Go back to the front with some stepping-hundred-billion-year, repeat the process each time stepping past so that there'd never be any planets that formed at roughly 1 AU (Astronomical Unit-Desc) from the sun.If you make a mistake, it's easy, go back to the past and repeat it again. If you are more springs time machine, or you do not ignore the death, you may consider to go further into the past. The further you go, the less you change the universe in order to prevent the Earth was formed. Go to the period around persatumiliar second after the universe began and just by being there you can completely change the face of the universe to come ... even though at that time the condition is very, very hot ... The last form Earth: When you return to the present, you will The remaining joint rather large asteroid belt where the Earth should be. Alternatively, you will find that the material has been assimilated into objects of another planet or in the sun. Level possibilities: 1/10. These methods rely on technology fictional and has no foundation in scientific theory or real events. Therefore, the passage of time almost certainly is something impossible. Comment: A good friend of mine, Rob, tells me that this action sequence is not hard to talk about the "destruction" of the Earth - there are no cases of destruction, where the Earth runs out of existence becomes not exist. Instead, what we get is a universe in which nothing and no one ever Earth. Destroy Rob proved very easy.
   
   
   
   
   
8. Destroyed by God
   You need: God. Methods: I do not intend to dictate whether God exists or not, but if He exists, and omnipotent, then surely He can destroy the Earth if He will. Of course, the question arises of how he did it. The first idea that comes to my mind is to ask the Apocalypse described in the Christian Bible. Think of the book of Revelation is a picture literally accurate about the events of the future, chapter 21, verse 1 says, "Then I saw heaven and a new earth, because heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea." It was surprising that the destruction total the entire planet (and heaven too) is only worth one sentence in the End Times story this long. But on the other hand, Psalm (104) of paragraph 5 reads, "He [God] set the earth on its foundations; she would never be moved ", and there are other verses like this, so the possibilities:
   
   1. New International Version of the Bible wrote earth with the "e" is small, implying that this paragraph may only refer to, you know, ground .
   2. This clause may only be metaphorically - as well as the creation story depicted in the book of Genesis.
   3. It could be that the new Earth to the Earth a long time, and the word "new" is a bit much just to show that the Earth was "swept clean", like Etch-A-Sketch (Etching A Scratch-Desc).
   In all three cases, the new earth still requires the destruction of the real thing. 
   Prompts other, if mythology Jews right, is to find and kill one (or more) Lamed Vav Tzadikim, 36 mage whose job in life is to justify the purpose of mankind in view God. If one of these people missing, reputedly the world will end. Indeed, perhaps it will be easier to destroy the human race rather than looking for one of these people, that they themselves did not know him.Comment: Of course, one hundred percent possible if the means used by God to destroy the Earth is the event of non-magical and natural like listed above.the last form Earth: Most likely into various forms, everywhere. the level of possibilities: This, of course, very subjective.

Mike Trainor wrote, "Just because we do not have the technology to destroy the planet does not mean no one else in the universe to do it. All you need to do is direct the radio transmitter in our most powerful telescopes into the solar system and governance of their imperfections. 'Beautiful creatures in the solar system you miserable can never destroy a planet as cool as this ...' "Thanks, Mike. We will catch the SETI (Signals of Extraterrestrial Intelligence Desc).

Methods Based on Fiction 
It's too big so I moved it to a separate page. Some things that will NOT destroy the Earth:

1. Nano technology.
   Let's be clear: Nanotechnology nothing more than a tool that will expire.Programming a type of self-replicating machines von Neumann to devour the whole earth faces some major issues (like, if everything is in essentially will not disintegrate into its constituent atoms?), But even if it works - you do not destroy the Earth. You only have made ​​it a planet made ​​of nanobot-nanobot, so it still needs to destruction. Program them (nanobot-Desc) threw themselves into space? Um, it's Deconstruction Meticulously, difficult.
2. Explosion Gamma rays (GRB)
   You need: A star with a mass around the Earth solar> 40. Massive star like this are hard to come by; even Betelgeuse only has a solar mass of 20. The best candidate I know of is Eta Carinae, which has a 120 solar mass but it is located at a distance of 7,500 light-years. Methods: The explosion of gamma rays is a short burst of gamma ray photons. GRB there are two types, short (less than 2 seconds) and long (2 seconds to about 3 minutes); the latter type is believed to be caused by explosions of stars called hypernova , hundreds of times harder than ordinary supernova. Stars like the above are usually located at a distance of billions of light years when they explode - the fact that we could detect them at this distance should be enough to tell you how stronghypernova it. So what if the trigger locally? The blast, which is at a distance of about 20 light years may already hard enough to destroy the Earth. The level of probability: 0/10. This method was originally listed above, but the astronomer Stephen Thorsett set me straight. This method will not work.Despite such large quantities have been described, gamma rays will not make a dent actual physical structure of the Earth. Source: Lycurgus who proposed this method. For more information in view http://www.nasa.gov .
   
   
   
3. Burned down by the fusion of the sea with a muon-catalyzed
   You need: Inventory muon. Methods: In theory like this. Muon is negatively charged particles, rather like electrons. If you remove one charge muon into hydrogen, then some muons will replace electrons in the hydrogen atom.Because of differences in mass, hydrogen atoms would be much smaller suddenly, causing the molecules of hydrogen so more to each other; quite clear that the possibility of hydrogen nuclei fuse to each other is high. So, if you pour muon-muon into the ocean, they can cause deuterium chemically fused with ocean water to begin spontaneously undergo fusion reactions. In theory, the amount of heat / energy released by the fusion of all the water in the world is enough to destroy the world with a few commands on the size.The level of probability: 0/10. All the muon is known, decaying within a few microseconds - a bit long for subatomic particles were outstanding, but still too short to be useful, so if you can not produce muon you in large numbers, for free, you will not reach the break-even energy, and fusion immediately quit when started, instead of maintaining the process. Source: fusion with a catalyst muon filed in the late 1940s by Andrei Sakharov, and warned me by Jef Poskanzer. Comments: this method was never registered as a method makes sense, but I put it here because of his alluring, even if it will not work.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Blown up by vacuum energy detonation
   You need: A way to extract energy large amounts of vacuum. Methods: Some theories scientific to say that we understand as the vacuum is only vacuum on average, and in fact it is growing fast with lots of particles and antiparticles that appear constantly and then destroy each other , It added that the volume of space that is surrounded by frontman light vacuum contains enough energy to boil all the oceans of the world. Therefore, the vacuum energy might prove to be the most abundant energy source. This is where you count. All you need to do is think about how your way to extract this energy and use it in power - this can be done easily without too much suspicion - and then quietly let the reaction becomes out of control. The release of the energy produced is enough to destroy the entire planet Earth, and perhaps also the sun. The last form Earth: cloud particles of various sizes are expanding rapidly. The level of probability: 0/10. This method was originally listed as a reasonable method, but Alan Thomas straighten me: there are about five different ways to calculate the vacuum energy, all gave different answers. Methods that provide answers to the "big" or "unlimited" is based on a mathematical unreliable and almost certainly wrong. Source: 3001: The Final Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke.
   
   
   
   
5. Let George W. Bush continues to do his will in the world. If you think so, you are completely wrong response to my point. The power to destroy the Earth does not currently exist, and the Bush administration is actively trying to create such a technology. Whatever Bush did, any reaction to his policies on Iraq and the oil and global warming, it would not be able to destroy the planet.
6. The paradox as depicted in Back To The Future Part II . By definition, paradoxically never really can exist.
7. Stop all your mind (if the Earth is not observed, then how could he exist?).Phillip K. Dick said it very well: "Reality will not be lost even if you stop to believe."
8. The semantics. Some people propose to utilize a small hole in the Statement of Interest and move the Earth into orbit around the gas giant, thus making it more resembles the moon rather than a planet, or throw it into interstellar space so that he will be the object of interstellar wandering. Yes, yes, very clever. Back to work.
9. Add quite a lot of material on the planet to make him undergo gravitational collapse and become a star not a planet. The main problem faced is that the Earth is mostly made ​​of heavy elements were not yet fused. Most of the elements of which it is the iron will not fuse at all. The amount of material you need to add on Earth will be very large and enough to form a star, and at the end of X billion years when he stopped to shine you will still find an iron core that stays in orbit around the Sun! 
   Sure someone will suggest that you still can continue to add more material until he became a star that is dense enough to become a supernova, so I want to clarify: I feel dislike towards this method. It will not fit. Sorry.
10. Blow up all nuclear weapons simultaneously, either in a single location or placed strategically around the area of Earth. It will radiate throughout the Earth and kill so many people, animals, and plants, but only a few to destroy the planet Earth itself.
11. Prove that 1 = 0. If one is really equal to 0, then it makes sense that if there is one then there is zero Earth Earth ... so, if someone can prove it, the Earth would cease to exist. This is the logic that seems right. Finding a proof in mathematics does not change the fact of wrong into right. It just proves a fact that is always true as true. Thus, if 1 = 0 can be proven, then it should be always true and the Earth should not exist. But the Earth still exists today.Proven.
12. Troubleshooting / cleavage at the core of the Earth, presented by Tom Chalko. It is true that although the Earth is mostly composed of iron, there are other elements which is quite significant, including materials fissile(capable of undergoing nuclear fission-Desc) such as uranium, thorium, and - get this - potassium radioactive, which sank to Earth's core which, according to recent studies, where they have cleavage, generate heat and keep the Earth's interior to stay warm. However, if a nuclear blast actually occurred in the Earth's core, it would be insulated from the surface by 6,300 kilometers liquid iron.

General Strategy Geocide 
Destroying the Earth is not as easy as pressing the big red button. It requires hard work over many decades.

1. Planning 
Without a plan, you will not get anything. Sooner or later you WILL hit obstacles and find yourself unable to continue: the government agencies will start shining a laser on your door, or even if you succeeded in arming guns blazing you, but do not have a safe place to take shelter when you shoot it, or you will run out of money. When I say hurry up, I sincerely say: ideally your plan is to be finalized at least 50% by the time you graduate from high school, because the choice of your working career will be a very significant factor.You also must have selected the method at that time. (The above list does not need to be thorough - if you have your own way better, I hope you're lucky). If you have chosen the method, KEEP AT IT.

Although assume, of course, that you and counsel you represent do not want to "go down with the ship", you should make plans to live Preparation before you start a series of actions that might lead to the destruction of Earth.Because in general hypertechnology needed to completely destroy the Earth was highly developed, access to the space shuttle, space station, or any other planet habitable, may have you understand very well, but not this that we wish to think.

2. Career 
At this point you have to make a decision very significant: if you want to design machines Doomsday with your own hands (all of the above methods, except Total Damage existence, require more or fewer engines), or hire someone else? If you are not a scientist who is very talented and you really can destroy the Earth from your laboratory (not impossible; see Strangelet method or von Neumann machine), perhaps you will choose the latter.

If you decide to design (and possibly build) this machine yourself, you are advised to study science, especially physics (especially quantum, atomic, and atsrofisika), as well as electronics and machine engineering, mathematics, and possibly robotics. After that, look for jobs which use the technology you want to use, the machine wake Doomsday you in your own lab, and buuum, you are finished.

If you decide to not design your own machine Doomsday you, from here, I will assume that this is what you decide, so your plan is becoming increasingly complicated and your career choice will be very different. Your time in higher education may be better spent studying the financial, economic, political, learned back your skills in management, talk and socialize, hone your ability to persuade, and learn to radiate charisma. Charisma is important. These skills will allow you to move up to a position where you have access to three things: 
1. money 
2. resources 
3. human power

If you choose to run the project lab, as described above, it only requires a few things: enough money to run the lab, supply of resources and manpower in the form of one (or more) was a brilliant scientist to (consciously or not) build machines Doomsday you. This implies that the best place to look for a job is a research institution in the fields of science, or perhaps organizations like Boeing or NASA ... if it fails, build your own organization!

If you choose to run a large project-based space, then you will need MORE colleagues. You need to work in and the armed forces. Politics can be a very good choice. I say that, without intending cynical, today of all people in the world, the President of the United States is probably the most capable person to destroy the Earth if he wanted to. If you feel disadvantaged in politics (be aware of the weakness is a strength), you have to join the armed forces and attain the position of General Top or any high position.

Nancy Lebovits suggest religion as a tool to acquire the resources, money, and manpower. Religion, undeniably, a powerful position. If you can establish yourself as a religious leader, chances are you can get a lot of support - that is loyalty to you as a leader is much larger than fidelity soldiers to generals, or citizens to the King / President / Dictator Top-To-Life-his , Today or this time, lift yourself as a new prophet did not seem more interesting than distrust, so if you're not very persuasive, you may have experienced great success with the hijack of religion are there for your interest. Potential pitfall is that the things that can be given to your followers are limited, regarding financial donations or labor. Human power alone is not enough. You still need at least a scientific mastermind, and frankly I consider the scientific mastermind is among those who least follow you ... But this is a tangle that should be able to solve.

Of course, at the moment the possibility to destroy the Earth getting bigger, Madagascar might be a super dominant, or the whole world may be united as a single nation, or perhaps the entire galaxy would be full of people, there would be no money, and asteroids platinum solid and robot workers will overflow. I have no idea. Whatever you can do. If you already have everything you need, contact, and submit your proposal, and move the project.

3. Your Bases 
At this point you may need to build a kind of base of operations. This base should be at a safe distance from Earth. Hidden preferably at least 1 AU beyond the terrible destructive power of the shooting range will release, but specifically for the supernova, you have to put yourself as far as a thousand light-years from Earth when it happened. If you need to be physically present on Earth to begin the process of destruction (eg throwing the Earth into the Sun, antimatter explosion), then set a countdown. Make sure the timercountdown a), has been fully tested, and b), resistant to decay. Search also the escape route of the planet.

If you're served as Supreme Dictator on Earth, you only have to announce your intentions directly to the people your slaves without fear of punishment.If you have a very plausible reason to destroy the Earth could actually be approved by the community - for example, you want to build Banksian Orbital (or more) that is much more widely as a substitute - it invites all humans will prove very useful. However, as a rule, you may need to keep your true purpose of the project as much as possible from human to time as long as possible.

There are several methods that are easier to cover-up than other methods, and this should be a major factor in the choice of methods. If nobody knows your real purpose in the project supernova-inducer (stimulants supernova) until two hours after the project is implemented and becomes too late to stop, then so much the better. Nonetheless, you should prepare a plan (and prepare bases) if at the end of your project known to the public. It could happen at any time, you may have a few months time, hours, or seconds to go. Actually, this is a potential stumbling block, and this is a situation that should be ready you are dealing with a very very carefully. Depending on how much time owned by the opponents you to act, how strong they are, and did you know that they know your project or not, they might be doing something from start to act reckless (launching nuclear space station belongs to you regardless of the thousands of innocent hostages in it) until smooth action (surreptitiously manipulate you to hire one of their secret agents in the security forces in your laboratory). Therefore, you need a base of very strict security procedures, many layers of defense, and the function of emergency were doubled and programmed carefully to all systems, critical or not. You need a weapon. And the door. The door is thick. For the worst case, you should always carry a weapon. If the base you're in space, you have to continue to wear a space suit under your clothes. In case of betrayal, you should be able to run the whole show by himself from the control room you are locked tight, of course, in the control room, you must have an escape route.

You should always, always, always have an escape route.

See also The Evil Overlord to obtain more general advice on the construction of the base, an escape route planning, handling a surprise attack from the enemy, and other topics related.

4. Conclusion 
If the method you choose can be tried more than once (eg throwing the Earth into the Sun, blasting vacuum energy), and your budget is low, you can consider to practice on celestial objects that are smaller and prepared the way you are. For example, consider destroying Mercury, or Ceres. Do not forget to take note of what worked well, what is not working, what is not needed, and others, so that everything runs as smoothly as possible on the big day.

Bring a camera. Most of the methods listed above are spectacular and witnessing these events might be a chance once in your lifetime, so remember to record the moment.

And lastly, if all your efforts fail, do not give up! Remember, no one has ever managed to destroy the Earth.
