Default Re: OT - Physics Question on Anti-Matter

All my data is from Google, so ask it to back me up

Earth has a mass of 5.9742 x 10^24 kg.
Escape velocity is 11 km/s approx.
7.228782 × 10^32 (72,278,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) Joules are needed to blow the planet up.
Based on e = mc^2, 8.0431047 × 10^15 kilograms of a matter/anti-matter mix is needed to detonate the planet, so just inject 4.02155235 x 10^15 kg of anti-matter into the core.
That's 4,021,552,350 million kilograms of anti-matter... ouch.

Well, good luck on getting that
