Welcome to JUICED - a general chat community that focuses on providing an enjoyable place to visit and participate in. JUICED was first established in early April as a closed community; meaning that registrations were only allowed for 24 hours once a month. The idea worked surprisingly well, though it tried up after a few months and we ultimately decided to open the community for good. After another few months and a unsuccessful merge, we're back, and this time, we're here to stay!

Hmmm...a whole thread for scientific debate? I dunno, it seems a bit risky.

Sounds like you need to be exposed to some complex theories! :#
Now let's get back to the science.
Number 7:
Blown up by matter/antimatter reaction

You will need: 2,500,000,000,000 tons of antimatter

Antimatter - the most explosive substance possible - can be manufactured in small quantities using any large particle accelerator, but this will take some considerable time to produce the required amounts. If you can create the appropriate machinery, it may be possible - and much easier - simply to "flip" 2.5 trillion tons of matter through a fourth dimension, turning it all to antimatter at once.

Method: This method involves detonating a bomb so big that it blasts the Earth to pieces.

How hard is that?

The gravitational binding energy of a planet of mass M and radius R is - if you do the lengthy calculations - given by the formula E=(3/5)GM^2/R. For Earth, that works out to roughly 224,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules. The Sun takes nearly a WEEK to output that much energy. Think about THAT.

To liberate that much energy requires the complete annihilation of around 2,500,000,000,000 tonnes of antimatter. That's assuming zero energy loss to heat and radiation, which is unlikely to be the case in reality: You'll probably need to up the dose by at least a factor of ten. Once you've generated your antimatter, probably in space, just launch it en masse towards Earth. The resulting release of energy (obeying Einstein's famous mass-energy equation, E=mc^2) should be sufficient to split the Earth into a thousand pieces.

Earth's final resting place: A second asteroid belt around the Sun.

Earliest feasible completion date: AD 2500. Of course, if it does prove possible to manufacture antimatter in the sufficiently large quantities you require - which is not necessarily the case - then smaller antimatter bombs will be around long before then.

Smart people. Mostly theoretical scientists probably. It's fun stuff to think about imo. :arr:
I always wanted to know how much energy it would take to blow up the Earth.

Things like these are just cool to read about. You read them and say, "Oh shit! I never thought of that!" xD
Here's one I would like to add to the list. I made this one up so the description is short but it is also a possibility.
Number 6.5:
Yellowstone Super Volcano

When Yellowstone erupts again (It is overdue) it has the power to destroy mankind as we know it. 2/3 of the United States could be covered in volcanic ash and the entire Earth would be blocked from the sun for years causing famine and starvation of animals and humans. The Earth would survive but people will have to push to get through it.

...oh shit. Where would be a good place to not get covered in ash? Florida?

lmfao, I read found this in an article about how the world will end in 2012...

The recent volcanic breathing in Yellowstone, according to these sources, is directly linked to an “ancient Mayan prophecy” which states that the world will end in 2012. During that year, it seems, the planets and stars will align in a unique configuration, and as the ‘forces’ generated by this alignment collapse the earth’s magnetic field, the sun will flare up. A cosmic “portal” will then open and bombard the earth with radiation that triggers an eruption of the Yellowstone super-volcano.

Stupid morons... it's happened before. The world will not end. Yellowstone erupts around every 600,000 years and the Mayan shit has also happened before. So why are we still here? People existed 600,000 years ago; and far less than there are today, with hardly any tech or knowledge at all. So why should we be afraid?

Oh and one other thing, I don't think cosmic bombardment can trigger a geological event... <.<
