DrP Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is this why you want the nuclear bomb? So you can send it down on a mole machine to the centre of the earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cuthber Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just exactly how do you "damage" a zillion tons of white hot metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't think so. Hang on, I'm going to ring your babysitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Maybe nuking it. How are you going to do that when you don't know what a nuclear device is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.C.MacSwell Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 How do you damage a molten core? I'm afraid you would still need a lot of energy, nothing really critical to pinpoint and shatter. You may have to look elsewhere in your Noble Quest to free the World of all pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if there's a lot of energy, will it explode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C.MacSwell Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I said, bombing it. So if there's a lot of energy, will it explode? Yes See Janus's post for how much in post #8 of your earlier thread: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/90227-how-to-destroy-the-earth/ I didn't check the math but…it's Janus…so probably pretty accurate Edited August 13, 2015 by J.C.MacSwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta1212 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Maybe nuking it. I would try this for you, but I don't think I have a big enough microwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endy0816 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Could drain the heat off. Shielding would drop and beautiful auroras would result. Edited August 14, 2015 by Endy0816 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
