9 Ways To Destroy The Universe

Don't mean to worry you or anything, but the universe is ending.

Don't mean to worry you or anything, but the universe is ending. The fact that it exists at all is one of the most baffling things that has ever happened, and so it is perhaps unsurprising to learn that it could all go horribly belly up, probably without warning. Assuming that you're some kind of omnipotent cosmic being (do you mind if I assume that for a bit? cheers) there are a multitude of ways that you could go about ending this universe we all call home. You could squeeze it into a singularity, tear it into its constituent parts or even leave it to the mercy of the machines (spoiler: that does not end well). Like, try not to and all that. As an all-powerful cosmic demigod, that would be a massive dick-move on your part, but there's no harm in reading up on the theory just in case there's a quiz at the end. So with all the laws of physics at our disposal, and a healthy dollop of imagination, let's take a look at some of the very best ways to put a stop to time, space, matter and reality itself.
