The sport has not died but you do have to shake it ever so often to make sure it has merely dozed off. The billiards he played surpassed Joe Davis, never mind what Joe Public could aspire to, and the world largely turned its back on a sport to which they found hard to relate. It is a more skilled sport than its rich, flash kid brother but not as watchable and although that ought to suggest billiards players could fit in a quick frame of snooker whenever they need a quick pound or two, the high levels of competition means the opposite is true. With half of the Sun's radiation blocked/reflected in the opposite direction, the Sun now has a net thrust upwards (i.e. in the direction of the "hat"). Now we want to predict where the balls go, and we’ll say that the prediction fails when a ball leaves a collision 90 degrees from where we predicted - it’s obvious that after that point we can’t usefully predict anything.

Solar sail method. I can't honestly add much to that article except to say that to move the Earth substantially, the sail used is going to have to be pretty big. Wait long enough, and the solar wind blowing the sail outwards will take the Earth outward too, what is billiards since the two are gravitationally bound together! It is possible to use a solar sail to steer the Earth into the Sun. It involves asteroids, like the above method, only instead of direct impacts, this time we just steer them past the Earth, allowing rock and planet to exchange a little momentum, with the result of an Earth moving on a slightly different track and an asteroid moving on a significantly different one. A converted Victorian terrace guarded by a large, loud and lethal-looking Alsatian was pleasant enough but no one would put it on a par with The Crucible. To put that 827 break in perspective Shutt, from Stockton-on-Tees, required 53 minutes to compile it and potted more than 300 balls. In snooker you hit the ball hard, in billiards there is more delicacy, spin and side to manoeuvre the balls to continue the break. Billiards method. Clonk the Earth with something big and heavy, causing it to alter course.

And lastly, suppose that they all jumped at precisely the same instant, which of course they will not, seeing as the time difference between the fastest watch and the slowest will likely be over five minutes. Direct matter propulsion. Same method as above, just using gigantic mass drivers/railguns to fire huge quantities of matter away from Earth, instead of a rocket exhaust. Gravity assistance. This is a method originally proposed as a means of moving Earth to a higher orbit around the Sun in order to save it from the Sun's inevitable Red Giant expansion. The most obvious major drawback with this method is that right now there aren't even theories as to how you could possibly build rocket engines of the sort proposed here. Two podiums using the skins from the HP costume trunks, I had these bad boys on TSR in the old days, but now I've placed them here for your downloading pleasure!

Go now - you owe it to yourself. Alternatively, as the Earth's angular kinetic energy is negligible compared to its orbital kinetic energy, you might consider diverting a relatively small amount of resources to simply stopping the Earth from spinning at all, before beginning the main project. The three main sizes of pool tables are 7ft, 8ft & 9ft pool tables. Atmospheric considerations are ignored here since it is far more energy-efficient to manually remove the Earth's atmosphere, move the planet, and reinstall it. The major problem here is figuring out how to pick up big pieces of continental plate without breaking them. Another, more sophisticated, problem is that the Earth is constantly spinning. No more having to go outside for your bunned beef! And this time we also know everything about the rest of the universe as well: we don’t need to predict it forward, we’re just given all the data about how it evolves (in fact I think that without loss of generality we can assume an empty universe outside the box, which reduces the data volume considerably). This can be employed to move the Sun and Earth in tandem to a place where the Earth can more easily be destroyed.
