The Destruction of Earth by Alok Naik

Research on the time machine started in the year 2021. The Grand
Unified Theory of Time and Rotatory Piston Engines was completed
in 2078, by a person known to history only as "The Idiot". But it
took the year A.D. 2289 for researchers to finally build a time
machine that worked. For the first few weeks nobody knew what was
going on. People were stepping in and out of time as if there was
no tomorrow. There were stories of people visiting far off times,
as far off as the year 2005 and as far on as 2305. Many were
annihilated when they met two or three versions of themselves at
the same time and place. The Laws of Physics began to get so
complex that it was inevitable that someone would do something
about it.

The reaction came from the very place where it was expected. The
National University of Universal Physics. The students rebelled
at having to learn Laws of Physics that changed from place to
place and time to time and person to person. There were different
Laws for two different persons in the same time and two same
persons in different times and two same persons in same
times and different places... you get the idea. The thing got
even more weird when there were two different persons in the same
time and the same place. And the Mathematics involved was simply
stupendous.

The rebelling students turned violent when the Grand Vizier of
the Everlasting Sultanate of the Imperial Planet of Mars was
seen giving the same lecture on democracy in fifteen different
halls in the University at the same time. The paramilitary forces
had to be brought out when the students let loose a black hole
right in the middle of New York City and using the Theory of
Duplicity of Mass made it appear at the same time in the Grand
Vizier's kitchen.

Now, you can't let loose black holes inside a Vizier's kitchen
without the Galactic Council coming to know of it. In an emergency
session, the Council decided to send a fact finding team to
Earth and it's colonized planets to find out the facts. It did
not take long for the fact finding team to determine that the whole
problem was caused because humans had discovered how to rebel
in the year 65,000,000,000 B.C.

The only solution that the Council could think of was to
destroy humans and human populated planets. In any case the
Council had not destroyed any race in the Galaxy for more than
five hundred years and the Councillors wanted to have their
share of fame too.

Thus it came to pass that the planet Earth and all other meteoroids
and planetoids and planets inhabited by the human species were
destroyed on December the 15th, in the year A.D. 1947. This was
accomplished by transporting a large google into the Earth's
central plasmoid which created a whirling pool of jelly and
destroyed all life forms on this planet.

How are all of us still here, you ask ? Oh well, that's another
story...

Great story....
The initial build up was great with the usual Hey-it-must-be-Alok stuff though I got a little confused with the galactic Sultanate one (made me remember one Hi-fi story where earth was supposed to be destroyed and some notice was put up somewhere... well, don't ask me the name of that book or for that matter, any book).
Waiting for part-2 of this story... hope would be able to read without coming back to 2008 from sometime in future...
