@jimj12 #7 Yip! Just another very involved hobby for me.
Or we could wait for the universe to do the job anyway.... I'fe found a few sites on this sort of thing.... http://www.livescience.com/47737-stephen-hawking-higgs-boson-universe-doomsday.html
Well I guess physics then could discover how to create a quantum fluctuation that started quantum tunneling.
This seems to be a better method than the hauling-black-holes one.

I wonder how big an object we are able to blow up already. By drilling a tunnel, then a big cave in the middle of the planet, stuffing all US and Russian nuclear warheads in the cave, seal of the cave so it dosnt act as a pressure vent, and blowing them all up at the same time.
The Moon maybe?
The Moon maybe?
Not even close lol
Anyway, the problem with blowing up something like a planet is the same reason that we'll be fucked if a big enough asteroid is on a path to hit us. Even if you manage to blow it to pieces, those pieces will just coalesce again because of gravity, and you'll be in an arguably worse position than before (I won't go into why).

The mathematics are precise.
1. If the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate and acceleration attains infinity then the universe -bang- it's destroyed like a balloon popping out. (Singularity there.)
2. If acceleration is stopped somehow, then gravity takes over and it begins to crunch upon itself, a universe gets smaller and smaller until there is nothing left. (Again, singularity there.)
A stable universe that hasn't a beginning and end is a truly strange beast in modern physics, quantum or relativistic.
So, don't worry about it. Just sit around and wait.

The law of physics theories that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Then Albert Einstein splitted the atom. In this process it released a tremendous amount energy but the matter is converted to energy and the atom bomb was made. Then Science theories that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. If I am wrong please correct me. Thank You Friends.
I think it's now more appropriate to say "mass-energy cannot be created or destroyed" as mass can be converted to energy and vice versa, but the amount of combined mass and energy remains the same. So splitting the atom is definitely shown to be possible - it converts the mass of the atom into an equivalent amount of energy.
Thank mCoombes314 I learned somethings deeper today.

According to lawrence krauss, the deep future is cold and empty. And we're fortunate to have been born just 14 billion years after the start. Civilizations that might pop into existence 300 million yrs later, or 50 billion years later won't even get to see the cosmic microwave background radiation like we got to, so they won't know the age of the universe, or be able to see billions of galaxies that we've seen with the ultra deep hubble pictures.
I don't think we can destroy the universe. It will destroy itself. We are less significant than we thought, and the future is miserable.
