I do think it is black holes because anything that was/is inside its "sucking radius" is uderly and purly destroyed.
Also, aliens have a high chance of exsisting, but I'm not sure about in our solar system. The probability of us being the only planet with intelegent life is so low that it's very low

You're all wrong! The most destructive thing in the universe is...
A bunny with a switch blade.
[attachmentid=6060]
Now that the Sluggite part of me has been satisfied, to the actual discussion...
The most destructive thing in the universe? Human stupidity. There is a limitless supply of it, and it seems to just screw over everything in its path. It can wreck anybody's life, no matter who you are. And I can imagine sometime in the nearish far future, where somebody's stupidity kills us all.
Note: Stupid post being submitted before I was done! Curses!

I think destructive is the wrong term for this, but meh. Here's what I think:
1st Place: Gravity itself
2nd Place: The Big Crunch (opposite of the big bang; a gravitational collapse of the universe into a singularity)
3rd Place: Black holes (the cumulative gravitational effects are likely more damaging than any single explosion)
4th Place: Hypernovae
5th Place: Supernovae
6th Place: Cosmic Rays (higher frequency than gamma rays, btw)
7th Place: Opposable Thumbs

gg.
While we're on the topic of force; someone name for me the four natural forces in order from strongest to weakest.

Uh... Oh... common, I know this... I saw that "String Theory" thing on PBS...
Uncertainty... setting in... Knowledge being forgotten...
I think its: Electro-magnetic force, Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force, Gravity.
Not sure though...
Most destructive force in the universe: Time/Entropy. No matter what you do, time will screw you over in the end.

Screw you over in the end? It might not screw the Universe over, as the Universe is all that exists, and as long as anything exists, so does the Universe.
And by physical rules as we understand them, nothing can be made to literally disapear, and have none of the elements of it also have disapeared.

I don't think humans are most destructive thing in the universe, or even life in general, because if there was no life there would still be a universe and things destroying it.
Or if you're into quantum physics, like me, if there was no life (thus no observation) there wouldn't be a universe. So basically I'm contradicting myself...
Unless I don't belive in quantum physics anymore...
OH GOD! MY BRAIN!
So, I would personally make it a tie. Life is a destructive force and the only reason why is because we are observing our destruction. But if there was no life, things (such as black holes and supernovas) would be destroying the universe (if there would be one if there was no observation). It depends on the circumstances, really.

Supernovae make nebulae. Nebulae give birth to stars systems. Star systems make planets. Planets make Other Things ™.
Supernovae are not so much destructive if you think about it. I think the gravitational collapse of the universe would be the truest most destructive thing possible.

Just to comment on the guy who said there was the 10th planet and said it is WAY colder than pluto. The planet couldn't possibly be way colder than pluto. Since pluto's surface temperature is already -220 degrees Celcius, and absolute zero is -273.15 degrees celcius. The maximum amount of temperature it could be colder is only about 50 degrees.
Hmmm.. and about the most destructive thing...
1. Time or atom manipulation (If it is ever invented)
2. Big Crunch (If our universe is a closed universe)
3. Black Holes
4. Quasar - One Quasar's power output is several thousands the energy our entire galaxy. It is a very distant object in the universe which when first discovered was thought to be a glaxy cluster itself, but then happened to be an rapid xray emitting object.
5. Human - Long Term

Well, I suppose it could be said that without the Big Bang, then there wouldn't be such thing as destruction, meaning that it could be called the source of all destruction.

I think whats destructive is the Halo Installations!!! And other weapons that go on a galatic scale of destruction! Now those are vey powerful! and should be banned!!! And I like to make useless posts on such weird topics!!!

Just a reminder, this is Serious Discussion, posts made when the poster knows on their own that the post is useless should be tossed in the garbage forum or not posted at all.
A 10th planet past pluto would be colder than Pluto because of the further distance from the sun unless it were closer to another star that isn't our sun.
