FILLER WEEK! Gotta give you guys something while the main course is being prepared for next week, #Kuwait. (Yes I use the pun "Ku-waiting" in the video)In the meantime, enjoy this hypothetical-topic video! WHAT IF THE EARTH WAS UPSIDE DOWN?
Geography Now I just want to say that I'm very happy for you that you keep going here on UA-cam and I'm subscribing you since the start many years ago and I always will. By the way, good luck with searching for your girl :)
Arsenal gonner north and south are relative, in space there is no up, down, left, right so you can make north wherever you want it to be, if you talking about magnetic south and north those aren't relative. Quick note magnetic South is what we call North
True. Aren't humans born with seeing the world upside down and our brains correct it? Well what if that's actually how the world is supposed to be, and our brains don't like it so it flips it.... Lol. But that also means if our brain didn't flip our image of the world, we would perceive the Northern Hemisphere south, and vice versa....
Antarctica would retain it's name. Arktos is the Greek word that became Arctic. It means Bears. Antarctica means No Bears. There are no polar bears in Antarctica.
Exactly. If the south pole now has polar bears, it's called Arctica, so the opposite, north pole is Antarctica. Just the way they are in the real world. Only the north would be the south and vice versa.
volimNestea Just going to point out that the Arctic is named after the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor (Great Bear and Little Bear) and not after polar bears.
If you think about it that would mean the Arctic should be called the Ursa. The Wikipedia article offers no proof that the 'Arctic' came from the constellation. It seems much more likely that the constellation was named after the bears that lived in the north; which they did as far as the Greeks and Romans were concerned.
That's what I thought at the start, but then I realised the direction the earth spins would be opposite. So it's essentially what would happen if the earth span the other way, for which there's several tons of Internet content already
@@youthngod @Buddhi Dev I think you are approaching with a different premise - I think Buddhi is saying what if we perceived the northern hemisphere as the "bottom" of the Earth, and southern hemisphere as the "top." The video is about a hypothetical/whimsical scenario where the earth gets flipped while the rest of the universe stays the same. Atmospheric/oceanic processes would actually change because of the Coriolis force, etc as he explained.
So youre saying people in australia are upside down in relation to people in new york?? 😅😅😅😅😂 theyre walking upside down and gravity pulls them to the center if the globe 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Presumably there would also be changes to the thermohaline circulation and other oceanic currents. Also, ice extent in Antarctica (for a normal Earth) is heavily influenced by the strong winds and ocean currents in the Southern Ocean. With those currents now being in the north it would be safe to assume you'd get a similar (though to a lesser extent?) effect. The lack of such a current in the new southern pole would lead to a greater seasonal variation in ice extent too presumably? Interesting video - always good fun to speculate!
Well, since there is no up or down in space, the only thing that would change is the orientation of text on our maps. The "up" and "down" is entirely a product of our established cultural perceptions of maps showing North on the top of the map and South on the bottom. This video is more about if the Earth rotated the opposite direction (which is still a neat concept). You can buy maps and globes that flip the text to have South on the top and North on the bottom. They're pretty cool and give you a different perspective.
Last night, I had a dream about the earth suddenly rotating upside down. It felt like experiencing an earth quake. Once the rumbling stopped & stuff was thrown around it was complete chaos outside. Many people on Earth went missing. Mass groups of people started migrating to the areas that you described. It was a wild dream. Finally awake, I Googled "What would happpen..." & this video popped up. Thanks guys!
The answer dumbed down: All compasses would reverse. All seasons for any country would swap The equator would not change The Geographic South Pole becomes the Geographic North Pole and vice versa. The magnetic poles don't change, hence why the compasses reverse. North America becomes South America and vice versa. Australia will be able to like videos. The tropic lines would swap All latitudes would swap This is from my PoV
I believe that it would change nothing if we invert it upside down. There isn't anything different, as there isn't "up" or "down" in space. Also on what you said about cooler climate in southern pole, I believe it is due to the fact that there isn't any land around it , that is closer to the ecuator and thus getting more light from the sun vertically, meaning that there is no hotter place around southern pole, thus making it a cooler pole. North pole on the other hand has much more land around it.
I completely agree with you. If the Earth was mirrored, something may change, but if it was tilted, basically nothing would. The thing he said about the moon orbiting on a different plane was valid, but basically everything else would rotate with the Earth and therefore nothing would change.
This is also why there is an ozon hole over antarctica. Because there is less mixing of air, the hole can be created during spring time. Low temps plus light create the hole.
True. I have made a similar comment. Up and down are directions made up by humans. There is no up and down in the universe, we just made it up for our convenience. What we call north today have been shown as south in various ancient maps used in different parts of the world. For them their north was our south.
The only thing that would change is the orientation of all other planets and the sun would rise in the west so countries like japan that have histories using the sunrise or sunset will change
ok you guys are probably very smart and know that a ball suspended in space doesn't have up or down or east or west but I think you didn't understand the "Flipping" part of the video. He is saying ONLY the earth is flipped meaning yes, while the up and down is arbitrary, the ball would now be in the same position but its land and oceans are changed meaning lots of things can change. You are looking at the flipping scenario too universally.
We wouldn't really see much of a difference, other than the minor effects of having slightly longer summers in the more water rich regions, and shorter ones in the region with the majority of the landmass (and vice versa for winters). Ocean streams would switch along with the flip, so you wouldn't get more warm weather reaching Antarctica.
@TheOfficial ItzEarth Mapping i can see that happening. land heats and cools faster than water, but the southern hemisphere gets more sun. so if we flip the planet 180°, maybe the new southern hemisphere will get more heat since there's more land. add the ocean currents to the mix, because those matter too, and with less sun and colder water, i think you'll get a good snowfall. i'm no expert though. i just found your question interesting and wanted to look into it. i could be dead wrong, for all i know.
Except the Earth's rotation around the sun, around its own axis and the moon around Earth's orbit, which would all be at the opposite rotation, so basically all the changes in the video could append. Remember, only the Earth was flipped upside down, not the entire Solar Sistem.
Actually no. There is upwelling at the equator near the Galapagos that would no longer happen as the main ocean currents would be diverging. Not sure how it would change the climate but it would no longer be the rich fishing ground it is today.
I love how Keith is dancing/goofing off at the background. (P.S: Nothing would change. You would just be calling north south, and south north. Like flipping a map. Nothing changes. Winds, currents and tide stays the same.)
think of snow as white stuff that falls from the sky and burns when you touch it, or thats how all the kids in my school say when they see snow for the first time (boarding school) I once saw a kid jump head first into an up compact snow bank because they didnt know snow was cold... they ran inside yelling "IT BURNS" and avoided snow like it was going to kill them the rest of the winter
A good reflection written by an Uruguayan artist, to South Americans "No debe haber norte, para nosotros, sino por oposición a nuestro Sur. Por eso ahora ponemos el mapa al revés, y entonces ya tenemos justa idea de nuestra posición, y no como quieren en el resto del mundo. La punta de América, desde ahora, prolongándose, señala insistentemente el Sur, nuestro norte.” Joaquín Torres García
As we view Earth on our maps from a POV out in space... As there is no up in space, it is only be convention that we regard North is "up"... but in reality it would not make a difference as gravity pulls us to the centre of the Earth .. the only difference would be cultural ... where if the map of the world was reversed... Australia, New Zealand, South America would be superior, and the current United States, Europe, Eurasia would be inferior..... as for flipping the actual planet on it axis ... at present a hypothetical .. but in millions of years from now, the Moon may drift so far away that it will no longer have a stabilizing affect on the earth, and it them may flip, or precess wildly ... but by then the Sun may be 10 -20 % larger or hotter in the sky, and so we may not have oceans to care ...
Why would it not change? The earth isn't standing up straight 0°, it still have an axial tilt, when you took the world from the northern hemisphere and put it in the south and the south to the north, something certainly would change.
The Sun is closest to the Earth on January 3rd, summer in the Southern Hemisphere. If the axial tilt is what makes the Sun seem at a greater angle of elevation, it will have more land to heat than before. Land absorbs more heat than oceans, and ice absorbs least of all. So presenting more land in the south and more water in the north will make a difference.
If you think polar bears would stay on their original continent, then I don't see why the names of the Arctic and Antarctic would change, considering that their names basically just mean "where the bears are" and "away from where the bears are".
I imagine that if the Earth were like this from the very beginning, evolution would have taken a different course because we’d already be in an alternate timeline.
Hi ....geography now!! ..i'm allier ...and i am a geek when it comes to georaphy..ive watched every video that you uploaded... ..looking forward to my country episode ...ANG PILIPINAS...!!!!
I just realized how freakishly similar Barby is to one of my coworkers, both in looks and mannerisms. He is croatian(maybe some some albanian too but mostly croatian, like 95%)
If you flipped the Earth upside down then you would get the shell of the turtle that's carrying us all wet and dirty as everything fell off of the Earth onto it. You can try this at home by flipping your dinner plate upside down and watch what happens. Also your parents would get mad, but that's another topic for a different time.

I think this video is all wrong. Nothing would happen with the exception of the fact that we would all see the portion of the Universe that the other hemisphere sees. The fact that there are warmer currents in the north is due to the landscape and the fact that there is more land and less sea. All of that would just be in the other hemisphere and that's it. Everything would be the same.
I think he didn't explained well on the video, but "flipping the earth upside down" and keeping everything else the same is equal to making the earth rotate backwards, which would have a great effect on the water currents, since the currents happen much by the rotation. AFAIK the greatest effect is that there would be no Gulf Stream, so western Europe, specially the UK/Scandinavia would have much colder summers which would probably make that region quite inhabitable.
Actually no, because of the sun which would give more sunlight to other places and less to others effectively drying out poles and wetting deserts. (Also the moon and the ocean)
Well, technically the earth is in outer space, so flipping the earth won't really happen. Best way to "flip" it relative to its current state would be to basically switch they way the planet rotates. Like instead of from west to east rotation, make it east to west.
For your next filler week...how about an interview with the people behind the camera. Hobbies? Favourite holiday? Gossip? Funny stories about behind the scenes etc etc.
Since what we call "down" is just the direction where gravitational force is currently pulling you, you cant flip the earth upside down. So basically if you flipped it upside down, nothing would happen.
This would mean that this version's New York and Philadelphia would have weather similar to San Fransisco whereas Los Angeles would be balmy and humid as South Carolina. Meanwhile, much of western Europe would be very cold, with Berlin having similar weather to Calgary IRL. Crazy stuff!
All of Earths history would've been different. Human evolution would've been completely different and we would've learned to function with whatever happened
Don't forget clockwise will be counter-clockwise, since the clock direction was invented from sundials by northern hemisphere, so the shadow would be moving in opposite direction in upside down earth, effecting the modern clock today..
I thought the answer would be a 20-second video: "Which way is 'up' is a matter of perspective." If you flip the earth upside down (along with its magnetic and atmospheric properties) literally nothing would change.
Actually Northern and Southern atmosphere would be the same but just in a different place most different things would be seasons in different months and different view of stars.
Yelvan Redanean im indonesian but im triggered, i think we don't have snow even earth are inverted, because we are in the middle of the earth we still in the equator
Since there is no up or down in space. The technical "up" is the top point of the globe as it spins counter-clockwise...you reverse the spin of the earth, the top point of the spin would be the bottom side...so theorectically, he's just reversing earth's rotation.
You failed to mention the most critical of all scenarios, and that would be that Men At Work would have to write a new song called 'Living In the Land Up and Over' and it just wouldn't have the same catch
If the earth was upside down then your antipodes will be the horizontal flip of your current location (if it's only flipped vertical but if it was flipped vertical and horizontal then your antipodes will be your exact location currently)
I kind of figure continents like Antarctica would still have the same names, at least assuming the other environmental changes you mentioned didn't cause completely different human cultures to come into power. Mapmakers in the "Southern hemisphere" would probably still define their part of the world as being at the "top", with what we call "south" as "up". Most people living in one hemisphere, meaning the extremities of the other hemisphere get explored later, would cause those areas to get viewed as the "Anti-" versions of whatever people knew from their familiar hemisphere, I guess. So aside from some climate zones and landmasses looking a bit different, maps would probably look a lot like they do now, with the same orientation.
The term Arctic means bear, referring to the constellations of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. If you kept Earth in place and spun the Earth the opposite way, Antarctica would still keep its reason for its name.
What he refers as the new tropic of cancer is actually the ecuator (central africa, the indonesian archipellago and northern south america) so that would remain unchanged. I find it weird that he did not mention the tropic of capricorn, the southern counterpart of cancer as it would be "the new goldilock zone".

You're probably right.
Austrians would appreciate that, yes
Also, wouldn't Norway be Souway?
Or septentrionia, on account it was named after the Latin word "Australis".
But would Latin even exist in this world?
What if the earth is tilted 90•? ( like the south being west and north becomes east.)
Depends on whether Earth's spin would stay the same. If Earth would rotate on its side, the temperature probably wouldn't be suitable for life
For an answer, search xkcd #10 "Cassini" :)
lol,nobody knows
Rome Blanchard isnt 90°

Nothing changes except your perception of direction and the period of the season. Both hemispheres receive sunlight almost symmetrically every year.
That's what I thought at the start, but then I realised the direction the earth spins would be opposite. So it's essentially what would happen if the earth span the other way, for which there's several tons of Internet content already

In a parallel universe a different Barby is doing a video on the same subject, but with our Earth as the "flipped side"
Simply said we'd die
We wouldn't.
It would be the same, maybe the climate would change but mostly the same
Wombat Not necessarily, it just would just ammount to some radical climate changes but otherwise the human race could adapt to those changes
Claudio Zúñiga Gamarra Was sarcastic....
The Sun is closest to the Earth on January 3rd, summer in the Southern Hemisphere. If the axial tilt is what makes the Sun seem at a greater angle of elevation, it will have more land to heat than before. Land absorbs more heat than oceans, and ice absorbs least of all. So presenting more land in the south and more water in the north will make a difference.
The Americas look like a duck trying to bite a piece of Antarctica.
If you think polar bears would stay on their original continent, then I don't see why the names of the Arctic and Antarctic would change, considering that their names basically just mean "where the bears are" and "away from where the bears are".

Well, technically the earth is in outer space, so flipping the earth won't really happen. Best way to "flip" it relative to its current state would be to basically switch they way the planet rotates. Like instead of from west to east rotation, make it east to west.
Antartica wouldn't change names with the artic because antartica means land without bear, this would still be true.
The Arctic was named after the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, not the actual bears living there.
Yr channel really deserves to b "one the most subscribed channel" on UA-cam.
What if the earth was round?
Wrong channel,here we are geoform round defenders. GO to a flat earthers channel. have a nice day
Dan Skiler do you now dae way?
Zombie Indo which earth *is* round
Dan Skiler #ROUND4LIEF
For your next filler week...how about an interview with the people behind the camera. Hobbies? Favourite holiday? Gossip? Funny stories about behind the scenes etc etc.
A attack on titan reference
Same 😭
Since what we call "down" is just the direction where gravitational force is currently pulling you, you cant flip the earth upside down. So basically if you flipped it upside down, nothing would happen.
Its not?
This would mean that this version's New York and Philadelphia would have weather similar to San Fransisco whereas Los Angeles would be balmy and humid as South Carolina. Meanwhile, much of western Europe would be very cold, with Berlin having similar weather to Calgary IRL. Crazy stuff!
We'd all be hanging from the ceiling duh. #FlatEarthIsOnlyEarth
Dhruvaa Ramesh Wat…?
Lol good joke
Dhruvaa Ramesh #roundearthisonlyearth*******
LOL that guy hanging out on the TV in the background 3:53
Australia would now be called the land up over
This is awesome man!
WHERE IS SAN MARINO VIDEO??? (i live on the border Italy-San Marino)!!!
He is doing Kuwait next
You have to wait until after Samoa 🇼🇸
U speak Italian not English?
I am a fan of you Geogrophy Now I love your channel
Do geography about Romania please :)
He goes through the countries alphabetically. Kuwait comes next! ;)
Now, you've killed it!
Can't stop laughing, LOL.
Which way is Earth "the right side up" anyway?
Arctic literally means bears and Antarctica means no bears. Calling Antarctica Arctic makes no sense.
Unless you get bears to immigrate of course.
"Bear" refer to the "Ursa Major/Minor" constellation, not the actual bear.
I really enjoy these shorter speculative videos. Keep 'em coming! :)
Play Geoguessr!
If the world was upside down then madagascar becomes Paradis Island
All of Earths history would've been different. Human evolution would've been completely different and we would've learned to function with whatever happened
What you fail to realize is that we are looking at the world upside down now, and the entire universe too.
Where's the Kyrgyzstan episode?
Obi-Wan Kenobi It'll be after Kuwait so on the 24th of January I believe
Well he said "Stay tuned, KYRGYZSTAN is coming up next" not Kuwait
And it's been quite a long time
SantomPh oh
where is kyzgayistan?
Don't forget clockwise will be counter-clockwise, since the clock direction was invented from sundials by northern hemisphere, so the shadow would be moving in opposite direction in upside down earth, effecting the modern clock today..

I thought the answer would be a 20-second video: "Which way is 'up' is a matter of perspective." If you flip the earth upside down (along with its magnetic and atmospheric properties) literally nothing would change.
I think political geography is you thing man ;) .
Actually Northern and Southern atmosphere would be the same but just in a different place most different things would be seasons in different months and different view of stars.
3:00 Glad you mentioned Indonesian archipelago not Malay archipelago LOL
Yelvan Redanean im indonesian but im triggered, i think we don't have snow even earth are inverted, because we are in the middle of the earth we still in the equator
Yelvan Redanean we're in the equator line so we wouldn't have any snow.
Really cool topic! Also, totally impressed you managed to focus on doing the video with all the stuff going on around you.

Since there is no up or down in space. The technical "up" is the top point of the globe as it spins counter-clockwise...you reverse the spin of the earth, the top point of the spin would be the bottom side...so theorectically, he's just reversing earth's rotation.
Third! Yay
I'm hungry, and you?
Hey Barbs, I like the outro with the camera on the airport slider thing!
Imagining I'm going somewhere exciting.
First
You failed to mention the most critical of all scenarios, and that would be that Men At Work would have to write a new song called 'Living In the Land Up and Over' and it just wouldn't have the same catch
Bro I used to watch this guy when I was in the 6th grade
If the earth was upside down then your antipodes will be the horizontal flip of your current location (if it's only flipped vertical but if it was flipped vertical and horizontal then your antipodes will be your exact location currently)
actually north and south are completely relative, so it actually would be exactly the same
I kind of figure continents like Antarctica would still have the same names, at least assuming the other environmental changes you mentioned didn't cause completely different human cultures to come into power. Mapmakers in the "Southern hemisphere" would probably still define their part of the world as being at the "top", with what we call "south" as "up". Most people living in one hemisphere, meaning the extremities of the other hemisphere get explored later, would cause those areas to get viewed as the "Anti-" versions of whatever people knew from their familiar hemisphere, I guess. So aside from some climate zones and landmasses looking a bit different, maps would probably look a lot like they do now, with the same orientation.
Another Great video keep it up
Nice video keep up the good work👍
The term Arctic means bear, referring to the constellations of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. If you kept Earth in place and spun the Earth the opposite way, Antarctica would still keep its reason for its name.
Seeing this in the UA-camSpace makes me want a behind the scenes video.
I would like to see what happens when the earth spins the other way around (different daytimes, different climates, position of the moon)
Keith on the right just air humping... such a distraction hahahaha. XD
Since Space has no up or down, the Earth isn't pointing any direction. I understood what you meant there but there would be no difference. *Maybe.*
Paul, there was a map upside down back in Mediaeval period it's known as "Tabula Rogeriana".
Went from google earth, to here lol
What he refers as the new tropic of cancer is actually the ecuator (central africa, the indonesian archipellago and northern south america) so that would remain unchanged. I find it weird that he did not mention the tropic of capricorn, the southern counterpart of cancer as it would be "the new goldilock zone".
