you are thinking quite in a good direction, it would cause problems indeed when they would reach a critical mass. But before that would happen they could "destroy" around 10% of the entire planet's mass and that's already devastating enough for a planet to not recover ever again but not in a way of destroying it :-) You will ask yourself how is this possible? The answer is simple: Robots could only produce themselves mainly from Earth's crust materials and the whole mass of the crust is only around 1% of the whole planet. Than there is the mantle layer where in the upper part it could sustain some materials for reproduction but also the deeper you go the hotter and more liquid like "caramel" it becomes. At around 8% - 10% of upper mantle would probably meet requriements for robots to still function (probably around 400°C - 600°C) because mantle at the middle is alreday around 4000°C hot so robots practicaly could not go deep into the mantle anyway. Also the pressure is already high at the point between the crust and mantle itself. Some layer details: Crust = thicknes between 30km and 70km | 1% of total planet mass | temperature here varies but it's mainly between 100°C and 400˘C can also go up as high as 1000°C in some areas Mantle = thickness around 3000km | 67% of total planet mass | temperature in upper part from 200°C to the middle part where it can reach as high as 4000°C, at lower part it's >4000°C Core = two parts - outer layer around 2200km | 21% of total planet mass | temperature between 4500°C and 5500°C - inner core around 1200km | 11% of total planet mass | temperature around 6000°C

The more robots you have, the more powerful your computing power.

If there’s a weaker empire, try to ask them to become your vassals, if they refuse you will get the subjugation cassus belli (reason to declare war), declare war, defeat them and they are now your vassals. You can also integrate them after a few years. Also build starbases in chokepoints, chokepoints are very important. Make sure to fortify them.

There will still be a whole load of leftovers that the bots wouldn't be able to do anything with, and exponential growth will be offset in the exponential difficulty in obtaining usable resources.

Another method of planet destruction I have thought of in the past is this. Launch nukes all at once in sync into planetary fault lines and super volcanos. The nukes heat up and agitate those things to activate them. Massive earthquakes, tidal waves, and eruptions all start happening at once, the planet breaks itself apart.

Theoretically, yes; stars are powerful things, and if we harnessed enough of one via dyson swarm, perhaps we could generate enough of a megalaser to take out a planet, death star style.

A laser would be relatively weak, it'd be better to make it a grazer.

Note about the ability of self replicators to ... well, replicate: We actually have real examples in the real world. They are called bacteria. And they multiply *quick.* But does anyone notice that while there are plenty of bacteria all around, it's not exactly as though it's to such a degree that we'd notice? Well, that's because replication can only happen with proper materials and hospitable environment, and often the act of multiplying creates a less hospitable environment, and uses those materials. Even if we say the machines are super hardy, and don't wear with age and use, and are specialized so that there's a gather class and a queen class of bots, to optimize time spent not having to swap functions, there is only so much work you can put on an area before the sheer heat causes the materials to breakdown. Like literally every action, conscious or unconscious, takes energy. This energy is then eventually output as heat. So it would still take a ridiculous amount of time for any reasonably feasible machine to disassemble the planet (especially once it starts digging, where not only is there already substantial heat but there's less surface area to radiate heat from. Although, the assembler class would probably be able to build a heat pump, and then try and trap the heat in large chunks of material to be flung off elsewhere. But even assuming that can work, that's time taken that's not assembling more of itself.

It uses a super high powered laser called a Chronium Laser Battery to fire a super large projectile at a planet. The diameter of the super weapon is 30km. By my calculations the size and power of the weapon will destroy 63,800,000 km squared and have a firing range of 60,000 light years.

If memory serves, this was ~7 subsequent detonations. It would create a fireball the size of Texas/France, and be the greatest extinction event since the dinosaurs took a bow. The weapon was nicknamed a “Backyard Bomb”, because you didn’t need to take it anywhere: you’d just set it off in your backyard. Everyone was about to have their ticket punched either way.

The self replicating planet devouring nano robots were a menace on Star-Gate.

Depending upon the cannon of starwars you are following the death star uses turbo lasers powered with kiber crystals shot through a gradational lens which provides the extra power and concentration to make it penitrate to the core of the planet which because most planets have a high density core made of heavy elements which are typically radioactive and fisile which results in a chain reaction to start the explosion through a mix of fusion and fission to rip the planet apart. This said it basically says that the weapon isn't as effective on lower core density planets. Another cannon says that the massive puncture in the crust causes the chain reaction and the last one that I remember says that it is just the insane energy dump which causes the reaction because Depending upon how you look at it there will be a massive pressure build up which makes the planet act like an over filled balloon and pop. The difference between this balloon and a normal one is that this one is filled with sand and water that you blast with a pile of heat. The sand heats up along with the water which promotes further heating which eventually boils the water which over fills the already at capacity balloon which pops.

1:59 This is why i like watching this guy not always serious lol 😂

Thoughty2 as a supervillain? I mean, go for it.

While it's not exactly my field of expertise, a friend and I back in highschool estimated that, assuming an (improbably) efficient detonation, about 2kg of antimatter could be sufficient to crack the globe if dropped deep enough into the right fault line

Citinals. Whatever those robots are called. 42 is aging so gracefully. You can't help but notice the time lapse in these videos. That's crazy, I always wanted to be a superhero that can fly

Hey thoughty2 ! Your from the same city as me and I’d honestly love to run into you one day! I can tell because you have the single best accent in the world…. You’ve entertained me for years so is love to thank you :)

"The freakin' laser beam" - Dr. Evil. Only the real Austin Powers fans will get this

The start of thoughty2 videos is always the most random stuff that somehow connects with the topic of the video

Everytime I take a break from thoughts 2 and I come came his look evolves

Please don’t forget about planet Druidia! The Spaceballs were able to suck all of the air out of their atmosphere. But, at the last second, Lone Starr switched the sucking device, Megamaid, into Blow mode. And repurpose the air back into Druidias atmosphere. Saving all of the peoples. An excellent story.

I kept waiting for a favorite sci-fi scenario to be mentioned: scientists create a miniature black hole. It quickly gains mass, drops to the center of the earth, and pulls it all in after a brief span of time.

Hey, so throughout the video you make frequent comparisons between released energy and the force of "a nuclear weapon". I'd like to ask which nuclear weapon you're basing the comparison on, since they range from 20 tons (Davy Crockett) to 50,000,000 tons (Tsar Bomba) of TNT equivalent yield. Thanks!

“As for the planet it doesn’t give a F” 😂😂😂😂

Never has world destruction sounded more charming and whimsical. Thanks?

The Chicxulub impactor is well established to have been some 10km (6 miles) in diameter. Nobody ever thought it was 100km. It has been suggested that the impactor was a fragment of a Baptistina asteroid which may have been up to 170km (100 miles) in diameter, perhaps that's where you came up with that excessive number. As a size for the impactor 100km is completely unrealistic though, the crater itself is only 180km in diameter.

A unrelated note but the Juggernaut in Stellaris does not kill planets, its basically a mobile starbase which lets you build and repair ships in the middle of a warzone using its onboard shipyards. Think the Supremacy from Star Wars Episode 8

fun fact - the death star laser is essentially a really concentrated lightsaber

easiest way to make a planet-killing superlaser is just to take two really big really durable mirrors and stick em close enough to the sun that the gap between em is filled with solar plasma, this is a Nicoll Dyson Beam and it turns a star into a laser. It could strip the atmosphere and boil the oceans off a planet in a few days, but for more constructive use it could push lightsail spacecraft up to a significant fraction of lightspeed

If anyone is interested in reading a SF book based on an interesting mix of the ideas presented here (not including the Death Star and albeit on a much larger/grander scale), they should read The Forge of God by Greg Bear. It has a sequel called Anvil of Stars. Quite an interesting pair of stories.

Beautiful stock footage of the deathstar

The Stone. At the speed of 80% of light would destroy an planet without any fancy play

Thoughty, I was just thinking how you look like a grown version of that boy in robocop 2 and then you said you always wanted to be a villain 🤣

that ‘coudl’ in the title is intended.. damn

We might need that soon

Those self replicating robots sound like someone had been watching star gate

Star Wars along with a doctor evil reference following. Love it🤌

Melmac exploded when everyone turned on their hair dryers at the same time.

Everybody in the world: We must save the planet! Arron: Well here is how to destroy a planet.

Great video, as always. But I accuse you of being the fake fan - Juggernauts in Stellaris, while, indeed, being quite a spectacular sight to behold, are incapable of planetary destruction. I mean, technically you could argue that you can extinguish the light of life on the planet, although not in a "planet killer" way but rather by bombarding it until everything is gone

Thank you for the ad. I think that could be a really fun game.

Silly question. Of course we could. The Orion Project theorized using multiple nuke explosions as propulsion. So some really big nukes in proper spots on the proper computer determined spots would deorbit Luna. A Great Reset by asteroid would be easier.
