| Dec 6, 2017 at 1:22 | comment | added | elemtilas | Other recent Stack questions have dealt with gamma ray bursts as unlikely candidates for doing much of anything at all. At least one other touched on neutron bombs. They do cause structural damage. You'd need squillions of the things to kill off everyone on the planet. Or even a large percentage of everyone. Lastly, any event that kills everyone will leave everyone's corpses lying about. Bob the Billionaire will have to wade through thousands and myriades of corpses everywhere he goes. You want a clean event, call in the ASBs! | |

| Apr 14, 2015 at 9:17 | comment | added | glenatron | I think @Jim2B has a great solution here- rather than a deep dive, what if Bob is experimenting with undersea living. Seems a good quirky billionaire thing to do and would put him in the safe zone for surface events. | |

| Apr 14, 2015 at 1:10 | comment | added | Jim2B | I was thinking neutron bombs too. It leaves the infrastructure intact but most living things pfffft - dead! You just need Bob to spend his time underground for recreational purposes. Alternatively and even better, he could have been on a deep sea dive for whatever reason when the bombs hit. | |

| Apr 13, 2015 at 21:28 | comment | added | Ghanima | The question is not so much how to make seven billion people disappear but how comes that just one guy survives. Other than that: neutron bombs (lots) or gamma ray burst. | |
| Apr 13, 2015 at 21:26 | comment | added | Twelfth | Power is generated basically on demand...the power grid might still exist, but you wouldn't have power on it without something generating the power. I'd imagine fossil fuel plants would run out of their fuel first...automated hydro may be the most resilient? | |
