So I’m watching a Naked Science episode on “How to Kill a Planet”.
I’m totally into it, I’ve had a bad day, so I’m thinking “Hell, WHY NOT? I’d LOVE to head over to Mars and do a little destruction therapy.” I mean OBVIOUSLY, destroying the planet I’m on would leave me unsatisfied, as I’d be unable to appreciate what I’d done, but as far as I’m concerned Mars is expendable.
My destructive device of choice would be an antimatter bomb. We totally can make antimatter- thus far we’ve made 20 nanograms of the stuff! (Think less than a dime)
NOW. To get the job done, I need about 2.5 trillion tons of antimatter… and at the present rate of production, it would take more than the age of the universe to make enough to blow up a planet the size of Earth or Mars.
God Damn.
Fucking inept scientists are ruining my night.
