What does the doomsday machine use to destroy?

Upon encountering Enterprise, the doomsday machine fired upon the ship with its anti-proton beam, knocking out the transporter, communications and damaging other systems.

How do you destroy Earth?

So let’s be serious. If you want to destroy the planet, you have to really aim to destroy the actual planet….

Step 1: Get the math right. Our planet is held together by its own gravity.
Step 2: Find a source of energy. That’s a lot of energy.
Step 3: Wait.

Can a star be broken?

A supernova does not completely destroy a star. Supernovae are the most violent explosions in the universe. But they do not explode like a bomb explodes, blowing away every bit of the original bomb. Rather, when a star explodes into a supernova, its core survives.

How fast does a star collapse?

So, how long does a supernova take to explode? A few million years for the star to die, less than a quarter of a second for its core to collapse, a few hours for the shockwave to reach the surface of the star, a few months to brighten, and then just few years to fade away.

Will every star die?

Stars are expected to form normally for 1012 to 1014 (1–100 trillion) years, but eventually the supply of gas needed for star formation will be exhausted. As existing stars run out of fuel and cease to shine, the universe will slowly and inexorably grow darker.

What is the longest a star can live?

The smallest stars in the universe have exceedingly long lives — in fact, none have faced their end yet. Red dwarfs, stars with less than 0.4 solar masses, burn so slowly that they might live to 100 billion years old, much longer than the current age of the universe.

Why do stars die?

Stars die because they exhaust their nuclear fuel. Really massive stars use up their hydrogen fuel quickly, but are hot enough to fuse heavier elements such as helium and carbon. Once there is no fuel left, the star collapses and the outer layers explode as a ‘supernova’.

Are stars born or made?

How are stars made? Well, stars are not made, they make themselves! Galaxies are where new stars are born. In galaxies, there are very large and fluffy clouds of gas and dust called nebulae.
