Does it matter how long destroying the universe takes, since that's in the unsorted branch? The universe with the sorted list continues immediately, the cleanup is handled elsewhere.
I suppose it would depend on if your multiverse has stop-the-world GC or can do it concurrently.

Cant we just attach all nukes to one side of the moon, make it explode so hard that it pushes the moon toward the earth that it hits like a cool asteroid? Haha
It would take some reengineering but you could probably convert the nukes to directed-energy rockets, harnessing the full power of the blast & using part of the moon itself as reaction mass. The problem though is still the amount of energy needed: In short, too much. Ball park estimate place it at about 4 10^28 joules, and a large nuker only puts out about 4 10^15. The theory is still sound though, and could be modif…

Not sure what happened with my formatting in my above comment, but they should read 4 x 10^28 etc.
