Well maybe not the world but the Universe may oneday

Nope. The Earth just doesn't weigh enough to make the world implode. The repulsive forces (electrostatic repulsion) of trying to push two atoms together are just too high. A good point to illustrate this are White Dwarfs which can weigh 1.4 times our sun (that's a very rough estimate) and yet can support themselves against their weight even though no fusion goes on inside them anymore (that's how our sun stays the shape it is, outward pressure from fusion balances inwards gravity). Though dwarfs support themselves by a process called electron degeneracy pressure which is completely temperature independent and this isn't the case on the earth.

No I don't think it would. If it did our glaxy would be sucked into a black hole created by the implosion of the earth.

i dont quite see why it would.

Only after it's been roasted by the sun when it turns into a red giant in the next billion or so years. The world will become one crispy critter, unstable and ready to fracture itself into many pieces and become asteroids afterwards.
