  • Well probrably end up screwing up some important part of our enviornment and all die becasuse of some weird consequence that causes the earth to not be able to support life. (Most likely by a nuclear war.)

  • the worlld is going to end when the sun enters its red giant stage, and swells so large that it swollows up the 4 inner planets. then the sun will probably collapse back into a white dwarf, where it will use up the remainder of its resources and become a black dwarf. sorry, no black hole for us, we aren't big enough. or when someone needs to build an intergalactic bypass. whichever comes first.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Gate of Cadia If you drilled a big enough hole, say the size of australia, the pressure on the magma would force it out on a huge scale, with enough speed to acheive escape velocity. Earth would literally bleed it's guts out and collpase under it's own weight. [/quote] It's pressurized by its own gravity, not by being trapped in the earth. Drilling a big whole would just cause a new crust to form over it. If you instantly removed all but the core of the planet, then this might happen, as there would suddenly be that much less gravitational force holding it in, and it would likely explode under it's own pressure (the core is solid, depite it's huge temperatures, due to the pressure from gravity holding it there.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Deathuponyou if you direct all nukes to one place im sure it would go deep in the earths crust and...err...screw things up...[/quote] No, it wouldn't. [quote][b]From Geocide, how to destroy the earth[/b] ...However, if a nuclear explosion did occur at the core, it would be insulated from the surface by sixty-three hundred kilometres of liquid iron.[/quote] Same goes for trying to get to the core. If you survived long enough to send every missile one at a time, you could make a bloody great hole in the planet, but eventually you would dig down to the liquid magma, and the nuke would likely melt before detonating, and the radiation would likely be so intense that the computers aboard the nuke would stop working anyways.

There are nowhere near enough nukes on the planet to destroy it, only enough kill us.[/quote] Not completely eradicate the planet, but at least destroy just about all life on it and damage the surface beyond repair - which would be just about as good as destroying it.[/quote] No it's not, the planet's still there! [url]http://ned.ucam.org/~sdh31/misc/destroy.html[/url] And there's a small chance that some life would survive till the radiation dissipated enough! (bacteria and such)

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jordan117 After oil runs out in about 50 years, our civilization will either destroy itself in resource wars (I'm thinking China vs. the USA over the Middle East's remaining oil), or be forced to contract into a much less advanced way of life. No petroleum = no electricity, no cars, no modern agriculture, no pharmaceuticals, no consumer goods, and no synthetic materials, at least not on the scale we've become accustomed to. Beyond that, people will most likely survive, but it will definitely be the end of [b]civilization[/b] as we know it.[/quote] But that's easy to fix, Ethanol fuel. With a Turbocharger, its more powerful than gas, at the same fuel economy, same price (except ethanol, which is from corn, is cheaper than gas, it's the car that's the same price). As to electricity, that only affects oil based powerplants. Just built more nuclear. Lots of alternative exist too, like the dams that are already in place, solar panels, the Fusion reactor that is being built (a prototype, [url=http://www.ITER.org]ITER[/url]), Diesel engines can run off of vegetable products (google Bio-fuel). All we need to worry about is plastics, really, and alternatives for those exist too.
