How would you go about destroying the Earth?

[loinburger]

I remember reading some book or another where some aliens or zombies or ninjas or robots or somebody like that took a hunk of neutronium (the degenerate matter that makes up neutron stars) and a hunk of anti-neutronium (the same stuff, only made out of anti-matter) and fired them at the Earth. The two hunks of (anti)matter orbited around each other a few times, and eventually met at the center of the Earth, annihilating each other and blowing apart the Earth. The alien zombie ninja robots won the day.

For the life of me I can't remember the name of that book, though.

i would call back all of Ameicans foriegn forces causing destablization and nuclear war

Another possibilty is to use a time chamber to send a robot back in time to when the Earth was just a single-celled rock and use TNT to blow it up.

At our current technology the earth can't be destroyed. Therefore I would invent a totally new technology, the 'Fusion Worm'. Basicly a fusion powered geneticly modified worm w/ a propulsion digestive system. The worm would need to be the size of Manhattan. Then, turn him loose and watch him eat dirt. When he gets a load of dirt he ****s it at near light speed in the general direction of the sun. The earth is consumed in its firey bowels.

Finis...

Best so far.

Or, how about setting off a huge nuke at the equator every night in the exact middle of the night...slowly driving the earth towards the sun. Or, at 3 AM, slowing the earth in its orbit until the orbit degrades and the planet falls into the sun.

It would have to be set to be done automaticly because the devices would eventually destroy the ability of the world to sustain life.

If we need a new tech, then get moving on producing large quantities of anti-matter. no better way to blow things up than to give it a sudden meeting with its opposite.

[Skanky Burns]

Build a massive ion engine, set many of them up around the equator and then turn them on at different times, so that combined they both slow the earth's orbit down and push it closer towards the sun.

I'm assuming that the earth becoming part of the sun counts as sufficiently destroyed.

Death Star!

That's no moon...

[Inverse Icarus]

just find a sizeable asteroid (or, the moon if you're lazy) and slam it into the planet with some futuristic anti-gravity ray or a large enough boom. hey, they tried it in stargate.

[Shi Huangdi]

I would eat it.

[DinoDoc]

I would eat it.

How would you deal with the indigestion, Galactus?
