Would the Universe be better off without Earth?

If we're gone, who cares if the Universe is better off or not?

No. The Earth is a complete irelevance within the universe. Smaller than a germ. It makes no odds in the grand scheme of things if we exist or not.

Unlikely. The alien astronomers formed a prog band exclusively using banjos and accordions. They're too busy learning ELP's entire oeuvre to worry about their telescopes now.

Do you think they could do Aqualung also................

Oh yeah, probably. They don't have vocal cords as we know them but that would probably help them to sing like Ian Anderson.

It could be better material for them than ELP anyway since they fell out with their drummer, he said he was better than Carl Palmer but they told him if you're using six arms it doesn't count.

Would Progarchives be better off without pointless threads like this?

There is one thing that the Earth has contributed to the Ooniverse that as far as we know no other planet has done and that is litter. While through their destruction suns and their planets have spewed elemental particles and electromagnetic radiation into space, we are the only documented planet to have done this deliberately, along with the satellites and associated manmade debris that orbits the Earth, we've littered other nearby planets, moons and the odd comet, and we've also littered the solar neighbourhood with spurious lumps of flying metal. More than this we've been indiscriminately spewing manmade electromagnetic radiation into free space for the past 130 years so we have polluted our neighbourhood to a radius of 130 light years with this noise. If the destruction of the Earth is being schemed by minds immeasurably superior to ours then it will be because we're inconsiderate neighbours.

What an absolutely meaningless question.........and the correct answer is it doesn't matter.

Did you start your party without telling me............ Oh wait that means the world is about to end ..... or your just on a bender

ahhh... I think you read his meaning wrong man. Pointless threads like this are exactly what us boring old farts who HAVE no real lives full of booze, broads and blow (only the fond memories of our hedonistic youth).

so yeah... I bet he posted that with his nose in a pile of coke, a near empty bottle of Jose Cuervo next to his keyboard and enjoying the company of a blond with a major oral fixation.

Do you think threads like this are interesting to him!

Perhaps the question should be: Is the earth better off without the universe. Makes just as much sense as the OP's question.
