There are many theories on how one may destroy the Universe. To understand the concept of destroying the universe you must know how it was created, big bang and Gaia hypothesis. Theories can be generated once we understand how the world was created, Theories reply on mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model.
Big bang
[edit]According to the Big Bang model, the universe expanded from an extremely dense and hot state and continues to expand today. Keeping this in mind, if one was to stop the universe from expending that force would start to become concentrated in one area. Such force could cause the universe to implode.
Gaia Hypothesis
[edit]According to the Gaia hypothesis all Living and nonliving parts of the earth are a complex interacting system, which can be thought of as a single organism. Keeping this in mind, if everything on earth was to die, that could cause an imbalance of the earths structure, causing it to break down. The break down of the earth could cause the orbit of other planets to change, effectively beginning the systematic destruction of the universe.
Supercollider
[edit]The Cernier Company has decided to produce a building which will be the worlds largest working supercollider. It accelerates potons towards each other at "99.999999%" of the speed of light, which is said to produce a result much similar to the Big Bang. One scenario which could arise is a tiny black holes could be produced which hopefully would decay into what is known as Hawking radiation.
Ran Livneh a physicist expressed some concern about the project at hand. He was reported as saying, "This physical realm is unknown, and dangerous phenomena might arise…Any physicist will tell you that there is no way to prove that generated black holes will decay. The consequences of being mistaken are unfathomable. This subject deserves serious unbiased discussion." [1]
Annihilated by an equivalent quantity of antimatter
[edit]An abstract situation of the universe meeting itself with the same, or a larger size, of antimatter. Thus the antimatter would destroy the universe.[2]
Overspun
[edit]A suggestions is that if you spin the Earth fast enough, it will fly apart as parts at the Equator start moving fast enough to overcome gravity. One revolution every 84 minutes is said to be able to overcome the gravitational pull. This is a sort of doomsday situation in the event that an asteroid hits earth and causes it to over spin.[3]
Decayed
[edit]We can understand that everything gets colder until it's all the same temperature, unless a reaction happens. And after that, nothing ever changes. If all reactants reacted, it would become equal. We can understand that in time, the universe will equal out and run out of energy, this will cause the earth to have decayed into positrons and pions. Effectively destroying the earth, and the world.[4]
Cosmic strings
[edit]Cosmic strings are hypothetical 1-dimensional defects in spacetime. They are left over from the earlier phases of the universe, and its creation, and are somewhat like cracks in ice. They are potentially universe-spanning objects, thinner than a proton, but unimaginable density. They are said to be one Earth mass per 1600m of length. If the universe was to pass, or even get need a cosmic string, its suggested that the universe would be torn apart.[5]
Gamma-ray Bursts
[edit]Gamma-ray bursts are bursts of gamma-ray photons which last anywhere from a few milliseconds to several minutes. They are hundreds of times brighter than a typical supernova and about a million trillion times as bright as the Sun.[6]
Proved Wrong
[edit]Gamma-ray Bursts are being detected roughly once per day, by U.S. military satellites, which carry gamma ray detectors.[7]
