Destroy the Earth

Hi,

Read that link, where the author described how hard it actually is to destroy the planet, the physical "ball of iron" as he describes it, since no one (or no thing) was able to do it, for the last 4.5 billion years. Fine.

Destroying life on earth however, is another matter, as it was done a few times in earth's history, thus changing drastically the course of evolution. Great...

Destroying mankind is even easier, since the destroyer is likely to be self-inflicting of you-know-what. Is it still all-that-Great?

Hello-

Of course the article was purely facetious and (at least to me) entertaining.

My personal favorite is the stable strangelet... as far as I'm concerned, I've noticed quite a bit of strange matter in my home town!

Regards!

I believe the error you make is that life was ever destroyed on earth, more correctly much of the diversity of life was eliminated at various times, but living organisms continued to exist (just much fewer of them). I do not know of any event where life was destroyed, just culled a little. This fits darwinian model, those capable of adapting to the sudden changes, in these cases brought about by geologic or extraterrestrial event, survived to proliferate life and more diversity. Sometimes unadaptable organisms die off when the environment in which they live changes.

Not an error, I should think, but the difference between destroying life, and destroying Life.

I mentioned "destroying life" in the sense that it was sheer luck which has brought us here, as it could easily be different.

Our appearance is not a deterministic factor in the diversity given, and so is our very possible demise.

good

if someone like to investe I would like to shoot a film. destroy the moon!

But if the Moon were destroyed, how would all those loonies in Central Park see after dark? And what about the world's Romantics? What are they gonna do? Make out under a neon moon (yes, there's a song about that)? And for those who like to fish: tough buns, Ace! The best fishing is under a full moon! Oooooooh, you would not be very popular!

Aha, its not the first idea given out by me. several years ago russia scienists suppose to explode the moon, which idea was suddenly objected by most people. the group said if they bomb the moon the climate in russia would be changed more into better. they still suppose to set up a huge mirror in the sky to get more solar engery to improve globle energy resource. now you can see nasa also hope to chage the moon's orbit a little! In order not to hurt younger couplers heart, let's change the title as " Clean the moon's Face" to meke the moon more bright, more pastoral peace! :) your ameracan shoot many curious, eccentricity films why not shot this huge one movie to audience? if you could get investors or sponsors I can shot this one. it must be appeal.

But for more fill of suspense I thik the title is still "bomb the moon". arround the plan, several countries outspread a serial struggle clearly and fight darkly(I dont know how to speak in english:)).of cause the moon is still on the sky result in the fight by the end of the film and younger can enjoy its sweet light. in the film your amerian can send out your 007 and our chinese can show our shaolin gongfu and russian drive their tank , germany offer their compact camera and other countries etc work and fight together... HaHaHa... at last they all agree to clean the moon's face to get more bright and iddlytic... haha...

Cnpower laments: "(I dont know how to speak in english:))"

You're doing fine, Mr. Cnpower, considering that learning english is a bitch for non-native speakers. (bitch = very difficult task. Idiomatic english. For other idioms you may or may not wish to incorporate in your daily conversations, please Google "Urban Dictionary." You may wish to sit down first. I'm also not sure whether you'll be able to call up this site from your location in China. Especially if you're using Yahoo! Yahoo! is more than happy to help your government's censorship programs in exchange for Chinese market share. There's a whore - a 'ho' - in every crowd. Yahoo! sucks ass.)

How about this? The first successful test of an antigravity device inadvertently neutralizes a large proportion of the Earth's gravity. The atmosphere suddenly rushes away and the sudden drop in temperature and presure causes all the water in the world to either freeze or vaporize. At the same time, the Earth swells as the enormous pressures within take over. The crust breaks up as it gets catapulted into space and plums of magma erupt from between the fragments. The magma rapidly cools into glass as it hits the cold of open space and a vast expanding cloud of ice, dirt and glass is left where the Earth was just a few minutes before. =O

Plums of magma? Tasty!
