Can Humans Completely Obliterate a Planet?

In theory....yes.

EDIT: In theory, we can create a bomb large enough to destroy the planet...I'm not sure we currently have such fire power though.

Hmmm......no

We have just enough power to kill ourselves

Actually yes , it's possible....

Well from what I hear the U.S. and China (which I doubt) have enough firepower to destroy the planet 10 time over. Of course as I said I doubt this theory.compaq345682

do you mean Russia insted of China??? I didnt know that China had that many nukes.

and... well Im not sure if we could make the planet "disappear" so to speak... gravity would probably pul it back together. But with all the nukes going off at once it would certainly do some considerable damage.

Give me at least 1reason God wouldn't let it happen.

You can't just blow up a planet. It would reform, but we'd all be dead. The gravity and stuff would pull it back together though. We can't just blow a planet into tiny shreds but we can destroy all life on the planet, all evidence of life, and anything we've ever created.fatzombiepigeon

Thank you we can destroy all life but not the planet itself like the death star could or some crap.

If humanity really wanted to destroy the planet, we could easily do so. Pour all nations resources into building a massive H bomb and then set it off.

Yeqah China has hardly any nukes. Anyways I suppose if you fire a nuke into the core of earth the planet would explode

not with current technology...

this should help..

I was just wondering if humans have enough firepower to completely destroy a planet. Think Deathstar explosion.compaq345682

it depends on what you are talking about, humans seem to think that destroying themselves would destroy a planet, that however is not true as long as the planet remains it will always reset itself. But if you are talking about completely obliterating a planet yes set in the correct place (near center of the earth) we have enough thermo-nuclear and other ordinance to completely destroy this planet; however that being said an explosion on the surface simply isnt strong enough to break the crust of the earth and not only is it unlikely that anyone would bury 1000 megatons worth of nuclear weapons and then detonate them but its just not going to happen. to answer your question yes humans do have enough firepower

I don't think we could completly destroy it, like Death Star destroy, but we could wipe everything off the surface and make in uninhabitable for thousends of years. But then again, we haven't made any real nukes for almost two decades so if we started up agian we could probebly make a lot stronger ones.

seriously..there's no f'in way humans can really do anything to earth's existance. i dont even think if humans made a concentrated effort to wipe out all life on earth we could pull that off... we suck. :|

Well, since Hydrogen bombs capacity is unlimited and hydrogen is one of the most common elements in the universe, I believehumanity can pull it off.

we cant even ( according to some scientists ) warm the planet and we're practically trying the way we dump crap into the atmosphere... there's no way we can annihilate the earth..

humans can certainly blow up a planet, such as earthand surely will

1 U.S nuclear sub has enough nukes on it to blow up the world 10 times over. My history teacher told us that when I was a senior in high school 2 years ago.

your history teacher is WAAAAAAAY off. the amount of firepower required to actually blow apart the earth is unimaginable. billions and billions of times more than humans even have the capacty to create.

agreed.

I dunno, we can certainly annihalate the upper Crust and out layers of the earth(clean air, yadayada), but we still haven't even reached the mantle layer of the earth, have we?

I dunno. The Death Star just seems like a bad idea altogether...besides the whole "Let go of your senses, Luke" part.

Won't be too long before we can build bombs with more than enough power to destroy a planet if we continue the same way as we've been heading the past 10,000 or so years.
