I'm a little rusty on my artificial planetary migration theories. In particular, I can't quite seem to remember how you move Jupiter's orbit so that it's close - like Mercury or closer - to the Sun in a relatively short timescale (months, years, decades). Can anyone give me a refresher? Thanks.

Since once impact from Shoemaker-Levy 9 released something like 600 times the energy of the world's nuclear arsenal and altered Jupiter's orbit by more or less exactly zilch, my guess would be no.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I, personally, do not move planets. I just never could get into that whole scene. Before this discussion goes any further, I'd like to know precisely why you want to move Jupiter. Such an action might not be very good for our own planet.

You just have to fix "the laser beam won’t work in the vacuum of space" problem first.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I'm pretty sure you need some sort of permit for that. Or an environmental impact statement at the very least. However, you could try that shrink ray from Despicable Me.
