It's not as easy as you think:

I can't stop laughing

hehe good laugh - kila

check out the destroying earth in fiction section, very funny. that site has alot of other great stuff on it too.

Edit,

err, I just realised that thats just a copy of the article I linked too. but the one I linked to has all the extra cool stuff to read about

those are good

Wish I had a VNM

lol, my plan is just 37 years around the corner! mwahahahahaha!!!

Number of times the Earth has been destroyed: 0 hahaha

That was pretty cool, I thinik I'll go harness some vacuum energy now.

Go have fun, and make sure to patent it!

lollerskates

Phooey. It's already been done - see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Earth was destroyed to make way for a hyper-space bypass.

Screw their fancy black holes, and anti-matter. All thats needed is Chuck Norris.

yea one roundhoue kick from chuck norris and everythings dead. he did after all count to infinity...twice...

Chuck Norris jokes are so lame.

agreed @ Ant. My favorite was the mass driver. Let's all slowly take teh earth apart piece by piece, for the hell of it!

I'd take something with a swing, just let jupiter swallow the earth or something, anyone's with me on this one?

Wait till the sun will finish all the hydrogin in it's core and turn into a red gient that will swollow the earth.

Yeah because that's going to happen within the next billion years.

I like the micro-black hole idea.

I didn't really understand number 2, could someone elaborate on that one?

its probably one of those theoretical machines like a perpetual motion device, it can never exist in our understanding of engineering because there can never be perfection

if i understand these are basically self-replicating 'naninites', tiny little robots able to manipulate matter at the atomic level (atom by atom) and reproduce themselves by rearranging (or modifying in some way) materials at the atomic level. E.g. if it was made entirely of carbon it would just move a bunch of carbon atoms around until it was another of itself, which could then create another and another ad infinitum

If each was created only out of the elements of the earth, then each could reproduce themselves by eating up more of the earths elements, the net result being all the earths elements becoming squillions of little robots instead of the raw materials they are supposed to be

No those are VNMs, and thats not even #2 . I was talking about the machine form #2, some kind of black hole creating device?

wha, you asked what number 2 was and number 2 is vnm machines!

unless you are a crazy man and you count backwards, the second one was number 9

which is strangelets

the black hole one is number 8, which is the third one in

Im here all week

Crap, I meant number 9. Sorry about that. I'm so used to rating things at 10 being the highest that I was thinking 2 being lower in the list.

www.qntm.org has some of the greatest content ever

Yea', it's a good site.
