No I dont think it but I came across this news article,

what do u all think

It's nonsense. I wouldn't call that a "news article" either. The earth isn't going to explode because of trivial surface temperature changes. The amount of energy required would be extraordinary. That simply isn't available.

I think I really wonder why you don't simply dismiss things like this as utterly ridiculous when they include such as:

Come on!

if we see a space station that's the size of a small moon pull into orbit, then we might have to start worrying.

Well, I agree with the chubby police officer in the movie Hot Fuzz. I think there is a place in the human head where if you shoot it, the head will explode. So logically the same could apply to the earth.

Hi, bmpbmp. I've missed your eschatological posts. Good to see you back.

Re the Earth, anything can be blown up with the proper application of high explosives.

If the globe goes, then that's it, your worries are over. If it doesn't then it's a different scenario.

Plus there are always comets to worry about. One would have no problem destroying the Earth, as is shown in this technical drawing.

So that was worked out back in 2001, well I've been to seeked ... here
It is reply number 10 (for some reason the link just goes to the OP)

I agree with maksutov. I don't know how the "technical drawing" will convince anybody. Who am I to say what people think to be realistic. The Earth will get ingulfed by the sun in a couple of billion years any so it goning to get destroy. If someone lives through that then the andromeda galaxy will colide with ours. Try dodging the gigantic stars and planet. What I'm trying to say is our race will die one day so don't worry about it. Unless we find life on another planet or found a planet with suitable life conditions for us where screwed so live your life and know that your great great great great... grandchildren will die a horrible death. Wahahahahahahahaha I'm so gloomy.

You could shoot it with an Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

That's true, but if we had an Elgudium Brigithine CX3 Negator, we could counter that. They're not cheap, though.

I would like to know if some rodents, that usually hibernate, can explode if they don't do that!!!!!
Or is it just Urban Legend?
Will Mythbusters try that? :-)))

Meanwhile I'd be very suspicious of Jon Stewart if I were you.

You mean you've never read about the documented cases of exploding sewer rats? What do you think makes the manhole covers go flying off?

I was told it was alligator burps.

Besides for a really good explosive rodent, you just can't beat a porcupine. Rats are okay for taking out a small room, but they have no shrapnel effect.

PUT this load of rubbish back where you got it... Do not go there again... There is not one part of this nonsense that is a fact. Not one.

The statement in the post below this one is not true.

And I agree with you; The statement made in the post before this one is rubish...
Its all rubish... The whole idea of a planet exploding is just plainly foolish.

Lets look at what could cause a Planet to explode.

1. Collision, yes that could do it. The odds are stacked in our favor. This is not a high risk area., and our technology is getting to a point where we really can save the Earth from a major collision event.

2. One of the life forms that dwell on this planet might poison or otherwise destroy this environment. We could do one experiment to many and covert the whole thing to anti mater in a flash of mindless cleverness.

and there's bound to be a much bigger list... That I will continue to ignore.

Can we get back on subject people. We where talking about how the earth can explode now where talking about exploding sewer rats? We should keep an attention span longer than 3 seconds? Where not goldfish. I hope you guys aren't goldfish.

gloop...

What have you got against goldfish?

Lets make that list.... what could destroy a planet.? Not just the habitat we live in, the whole thing.

I'm trying to tell in a billion years the sun will engulf the Earth. Thats all their is to it. If you want to see the world explode freeze yourself for a few billion years.

That's easy. In the places where the goldfish aren't.

Too late!


Meanwhile, BOT, the Earth doesn't have enough potential energy to explode.

Wait, what's that rumbling?...

That process will be very gradual and will not involve the Earth exploding. It will definitely drive away gases and liquids, and, due to temperature-related phase changes, may affect the solids such that the Earth loses structural integrity.

But no explosion.

True, but the HE rats are pretty impressive!

The sun will be about 10% hotter in a billion years. In around 6 billion years, the sun will expand and eat the Earth, but as Mak says, no explosion.

We're having some fun with the discussion. I gave a serious answer with my first post. The Earth isn't going to explode just because the surface gets a little warmer. Even if Earth was turned into another Venus (and we're not going to do that), it wouldn't explode.

Okay, but umm... okay. umm. so what if... wait... okay I got one. What if the surface gets so hot that it ignites all the oil wells and natural gas wells in the earth then the fire goes down inside the earth and hits the main pockets then blows up way underground? [/my annoying neighbor kid with the great imagination]

You know as long we're exploring ideas here.

My layman's guess would be that mot something like could really do would be about like a small underground nuke test, and that's assuming that the Nat Gas was low enough pressure to actually ignite. For an oil well, I can't imagine an explosion so much as a steady burn. So still no ka-boom.
