      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.

      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.

      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.

    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
      @bdb3350 3 роки тому +18

      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.

      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...

      Similarly somthing standing on the surface of earth (near equator say) can also be considered in a orbital path around earth's centre.

      @@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.

    But sudden absence of rotation is not possible right ?

    If the Earth stoped even for a second, the force of inertia will cause everything to "rotate." People and a lot of things will hit the nearest rock or solid surface that isn't moving. So the idea of ​​wind blowing at enormous speeds is not plausible because the atmosphere of the air will move in the same direction as everything, including us. I agree with the idea of earth returning to sfere. It means that, for example, the people at the equator would continue to move under the force of inertia not parallel to the Earth. With the Earth decreasing circumference at the equator would practically make people and things appear to be flying in the air.

    Interesting question. I'm writing this before I watch the video. If the earth was to stop for five seconds, everything on earth would continue moving at 1000 miles per hour depending on where you are as it relates to the equator which would cause catastrophic destruction everywhere. Life as we know it would be over. The earth stopping isn't what will cause the most damage though. Once the earth starts rotating again is what would cause the most damage. Everything on land would be wiped clean. Now I watch the video.
