Hang on because we’re about to screech to a halt. That’s right. The Earth is going to stop spinning for five seconds. How much damage would this sudden stoppage cause? What would you experience in different parts of the world? And when the Earth starts spinning again, would it still be habitable? How would the day and night cycle be affected? Why would there be strong winds?

@xaenon9849 8 месяцев назад

Even a gradual halt, like maybe over a 24 hour period, would be an extinction event. The shifting of the tectonic plates would trigger earthquakes and volcanic activity on a scale we'd never imagined. The tsunamis and tidal waves would completely obscure most large land masses. The windstorms would not be as bad as a sudden stop, but it would still be beyond anything we've ever seen. Structures would collapse, mountains would crumble, the ground would buckle and heave beneath our feet. And we'd still be tossed around like paper dolls in a dryer.

@grayden4138 Год назад

If you somehow managed to not be driven into another object, via inertia, and die instantly, the wind would kill you by pushing an object into you or severally damaging your body. The friction cause by windspeeds of that magnitude would superheat your body for one and the force of the air hitting you would break bones, possibly rip limbs off. Also, imagine a sandblaster on the highest pressure possible, mechanically speaking, and putting your hand in front of it because there's a lot of loose particulate on the surface of the earth. Yeah....this scenario is the stuff of nightmares. The Earth would be a hellscape afterwards for sure.

The speed of our earth is 1670 km / h. So we are all moving at this speed. If the earth suddenly stopped, we would lean forward at this speed due to the inertia of motion. If an object is thrown at this speed, it will go into space.

@AwakenedAvocado 2 года назад

If the flat earth stop spinning

@BringDHouseDown Год назад

No the only damage that won't be as bad is you slamming into the wall of your house, it will people to realize something is very wrong, see the gradual formation of tsunamis from afar, and notice the wind picking up speed more and more, it will give time to realize you need to find shelter underground or a really high point in a mountain if you happen to already be on it, but that doesn't mean you're safe, cause the landmasses will change, plate tectonic movement will happen in minutes or hours instead of millions of years, that bunker or that mountain might just be just as deadly as outside at sea level. A gradual movement would give you time to react, which would only be worthwhile if you have a means to safe yourself nearby, but the damage will be the same in the end for the surface and whoever was still at ground level.

@liamwinning2798 2 года назад

I would also imagine that the sudden stop would mean we would all go flying east at the speed the earth was rotating prior to stopping from inertia, so we would probably be affect in a simarlar to that of the wind. This also makes me wonder what it would be like in a plane high up, would the plane just keep travelling in its course because the wind and atmosphere is still moving as it was before the earth stopped? 🤔

@bdb3350 2 года назад

Theoretically if the plane was already airborne and at flight speed the planes flight wouldn’t be affected. Or would it? Communications and other ground systems possibly compasses would likely be useless. The plane traveling east flying at 500 mph (airspeed) would be suddenly flying well over the speed of sound (groundspeed) Hopefully the plane is high enough to avoid mountains but if the earth deforms into a proper sphere then proper altitude would be a problem. Over the equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn approx 25 deg north and south of the equator altitude will increase if the atmosphere follows the plan will go from normal flight altitude to possibly space. If the plane is north of the northern 25th or southern 25th Parallel depending on how far from the equator the plane will loose altitude and crash. So, I’m sure it would suck for those flying as well.

@AWAL602 2 года назад

Since the Earth is about 24,901 miles in circumference, and the escape velocity is just about 25, 000 Miles per hour, the rotational speed at the equator is about 1,037.5 Miles pr hour. likely not much. there would be some damage, but not nearly as if the Earth's rotational speed matched it's circumference, or vice versa the circumference matched the equatorial rotational speed, things would certainly get thrown around if it stopped rotating, for a period greater than 5 seconds.

That would be crazy. The Earth rotates at one thousand miles an hour. And to come to a complete stop suddenly, would really mess things up for us. Things would be extremely out of whack, and nature would probably never be able to repair itself, at least for a mighty long time. It is crazy when you actually think about all the motion that we are experiencing at all times. The Earth is shooting around the sun, at about 67,000 miles an hour, And our solar system, Earth and all, is whizzing around the center of our galaxy, at a mind boggling, 490,000 miles per hour. That is a lot of motion. Yet, it seems as if everything is at a giant stand still, and that the universe is so peaceful. It is far from a giant stand still, and the universe is far from peaceful...

@@ryateo1 Something that orbits earth is not free from earth's gravitational field. Gravitational force acts as the centripetal force, needed to change the direction of that something at each moment to maintain an orbital path. Centrifugal force does not exist in reality..right. Futher away from earths field of gravitation, no orbital motion is possible. Similarly somthing standing on the surface of earth (near equator say) can also be considered in a orbital path around earth's centre. But the velocity is much smaller than what is needed to maintain revolution at that radius. Without the earths surface we would have drifted towards the centre or core of earth. This is school stuff...

@sg4250 2 года назад

@@ryateo1 satellites are not kept in orbit by using centrifugal force. I told u already that centrifugal force does not exist. The velocity of satellites decrease over time due to friction with space particles and rarified atmosphere gases. They loose orbit in the process or tends to fall off. Ignition is applied to increase the velocity to the previous level. Well u talked of train, atmosphere, satellites, moon, rockets......but what is your point exactly.

This would actually make a good disaster movie. Obviously they won't be super scientifically accurate (because when are they?) but I don't think I've seen this as a reason for a disaster in a movie yet. Earthquakes, volcanos, another ice age, tornadoes, something from space, it's all been done and redone.

The Earth spins on axis once every 23 hours and 47 minutes. The 24 hour day is solar noon to solar noon, which requires more than 360 degrees of spin to account for motion along it's orbital path to bring the Sun back to directly overhead.

I think you forgot to take inertia into this equation. At the equator everything spins at 1666 kilometers per hour. Not only everything on it. But the crust and mantle too. AN incredible amount of mass moving at a high speed coming to an abrupt stop (stop spinning) That would tear the world apart. It would be highly energetic.

If you read about the end of the world in Islam, there will be 30 years of total day, and followed by another 30 years of total darkness then the sun will rise from its sunset, in this moment those who did not believe in Allah the creator except when they saw that will not benefit from changing their minds . If you try to explain this prophecy, this simply means that the earth will gradually stop spinning in 60 years then it will reverse its spinning direction. Which looks logical for a planet.

When you sum up all the forces acting on every single one of us that alone makes you stop and think. We are moving on Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun. The solar system is on orbit around the milky way. The milky way is also moving. Each of these movements are our equilibrium right now and yet they are immensely fast from a stationary bystander's perspective.

For the heliocentric model clearly states we are moving in an elliptical orbit chasing the sun moving faster then mock 88 ...

@@mrsam9206 water also ALWAYS seeks and maintains it's own level. The sky (ether) rotates above us. By this I mean the constellations, the sun, the moon, and of course the other light sources that we call planets. It is almost as if the sky above us were some sort of clock... a sky clock that long, long, ago was used to tell the people the time of day, month, and even the year. It still does to this day, but we have advanced with our use of calendars, of course. So basically, the earth allegedly rotates while flying through the universe, yet the constellations remain exactly the same even after thousands of years. Funny how that works.
