So I've read the auto-ban thread and I'm feeling pretty destructive. Can anyone assist me in destroying the Universe? You will go down in the history books...before they cease to exist.

Failing this lofty goal how do you destroy the Earth?

It's really pretty interesting. My personal favorite is obviously the large bomb idea, but it's really pretty hard.

Thanks for bringing that thread up. I just saw that Rekrul got banned. =/

Destroying the Universe sounds like a great idea. I'm up for anything, count me in!

You don't have to. Just wait for the big crunch or heat death... whichever comes first.

Good to know Rekrul finally isn't immune anymore. Pissed me off he was above the law, and knowingly abusing this.

lol, just read it all. That was great. I love the fact that that he so casually presents "plausible" ideas that are unimaginably impossibly for us.

Gamma Bursts wouldn't destroy the Universe as can be read at http://qntm.org/?destroy. My initial theory is to create a time machine travel back in time and give the plans to the time machine to my younger self and hopefully creating a paradox which destroys the Universe. On the other hand I may change the course of history creating a dystopian future of which I receive the only benefit being the cruel master of all life. I suppose I'd be happy with either outcome.

Funny, but I generally frown upon any serious suggestion to utilize a classical time machine (I'm guessing you weren't too serious).

Well I have a few ideas.

#1 I fling my self into space and travel above the speed of light, this should make be go backwards..or possibly destroy the Universe since to travel above the speed of light you would need beyond infinite energy since your mass approaches infinity.

#2 Throw myself into a wormhole and hope for the best.

#3 Tipler cylinder: If a cylinder is infinitely long and spins fast enough about its long axis, then a spaceship flying around the cylinder on a spiral path could travel back in time (or forward, depending on the direction of its spiral). I'm still working the the infinitely long part.

#4 Using Einstein's "Exception of the Awesome" law. Which states any devise sufficiently awesome can and will defy the laws of time and space. So to do this a would create a giant construct of huge conductive rings within huge conductive rings. Then harnessing the power of a gamma ray burst I would fill the rings with massive amounts of electricity and set them spinning in opposite directions to the ones directly within and outside itself. Each consecutive ring will have the power flowing in the opposite direction to the ones directly within and outside itself. I then will be suspended above the construct in a smaller but similar devise. Then once both devises reach "Critical Awesome" I will drop towards the middle of the larger construct and defy the laws of time and space...still working on the particulars of which laws I will break and how.

I actually wonder why we assume that v>c -> negative progression of time. I don't think that's necessarily true.

Go get to one then we'll talk lol.

Don't worry I have one in my basement somewhere.

Lol! So many great things here, from Einstein's Exception of the Awesome Law to your Contact reference...

ok I came up with one


step 1.) put a giant rocket on the moon
step 2.) attach a ridiculously strong cable into the moon and into the mantle of the earth
step 3.) push the moon in the opposite direction that the earth spins, wrapping the cable around the earth and slamming the moon into it

ok i guess it probably wouldn't destroy the earth but it would be super cool.
