What if we could attach a tether so strong that when we attach it to a planet and connect it to another planet, it'll totally f-up the path of each planet causing an effect when which the planets begin to collide with other planets, which disrupts the entire revolutions of all planets in a solar system. THis is a good idea if we start intergalactic wars in a distant solar system.
