Invent a bending robot with a small side effect of expelling large amounts of greenhouse gases and sell the concept to Mom's Friendly Robot Corporation to mass produce. Then in 10 years watch us slowly cook to death from rapid global warming?

Fire up the LHC, turn the selector knob just past the "micro-blackholes" setting to "destory the earth.

Good to go.

My friend always wanted to shoot a laser into the center of the earth and make it implode. He's somewhere on these forums...

No, you were actually more coherent and lucid in that post than most of your others...

I'm sure you are just kidding around. All my threads and posts are as coherent as they can be. Maybe the occasional useless 3-word post appears sometimes, but that's normal for the vast majority of forum members.

You are sure we're kidding around? Do you know who we are? This has nothing to do with the coherency of your posts. I couldn't care less about your coherency. You said you were leaving and you didn't leave. ATOT never forgets; especially when we are lied to. The only way to regain any respect after lying to us is to follow through with your statement. Leave and we'll forgive you.

Wow. Some people take internet forums too seriously.

I would use all of the available energy to shrink the orbit of the earth. Explosions, Rockets, etc ... Also, I would use giant solar sails ... eventually .... my efforts would result in the earth crashing into the sun. It would probably take millions of years after my death though ....

Sure we are. All those nukes down deep enough and that would certainly do a good enough job I suspect.

All that would do is create an earthquake.

Remember, you have to make the entire mass of the Earth fly away at escape velocity, else it will just fall back together. Think about how much energy it takes for us to get a small ship into orbit around the Earth. Imagine trying to get the entire mass of the Earth out of the gravitation field.

That's a bold statement considering we don't even know why gravity exists. We have no idea what would happen if we could get the earth to split in half to become even just 1mm apart.

We pretty much know that any mass has a gravitational field. The pen on your desk exerts a gravitational force that pulls the pencil on your desk. If you blew the earth into tiny bits, all the bits would be attracted to each other and eventually clump back together. Unless they were flying away from each other fast enough.

For those that don't get this. Look up how the moon formed.

You could get all the robots to stand in one area and fart. This should alter the Earth's orbit and maybe spiral it into the Sun. [/Futurama ref]

You are still here.

Oh and answer to your question:

1. Do nothing
2. Wait for sun to assplode this whole place
3. Profit in your death
