But... that wouldn't happen, gravity is the center of the earth because of it's mass, we wouldn't notice a single thing, for the same reason we ain't feeling any force spinning us, all we feel is gravity pulling on us, but the it has nothing to do with the motion of the earth.

15:58 That's not why leap years happen. Leap years happen because the year is not 365 days long, but 365.24 days. As that .24 is close to .25, multiply .25 x 4 and you get 1, which is the extra day every 4 years. (That extra 0.01 is dealt with every 400 years. Most people don't know that the year 2000 was special--years ending in "00" are actually not leap years unless it is a multiple of 400. As such, the year 2100 will not be a leap year. The next century leap year will be the year 2400.) As for the 23 hours and 56 minutes: That is the sidereal rotation of Earth--the time it takes for Earth to rotate so that a single point on Earth returns to point to the same stars. Basically, the time it takes for the Earth to actually rotate. Our 24-hour day is the solar rotation of Earth--the time it takes to rotate so that a single point on Earth returns to point to the Sun (aka noon). Those extra four minutes for the Sun to reach solar noon again come from the Earth's orbital movement, as the Earth moves about one degree around the Sun every day, making it take longer.
I keep seeing things about "what if the Earth suddenly stopped", what I'd love to see is a show like this showing what it would be like if the Earth were to slowly (but still incredibly rapidly in geologic scales, say over a decade) come to a stop. It would be interesting to think of how we would cope with that, given that we wouldn't be immediately wiped out by catastrophic events from a sudden stop.

Trivia: To date, the strongest wind ever recorded on earth due to natural processes was 318 +/- mph. It was measured by a mobile doppler radar attached to the back of a truck.

They didn't mention that the moon is slowly spiralling away from the Earth. As it gets further away the influence it has is reduced. Tides will get less noticeable and the rotation of the Earth will eventually even out. This means that there will be a time when the days won't be getting longer.
15:12 correction, the Earth did not stop the spin of the Moon. The Moon spins in 29.5 days and its revolves around the Earth in the same 29.5 days. We see the same face of the Moon because both its rotation and revolution have the same length. 15:55 Another correction, the sidereal day is 23h56 while the solar day is 24h. The first one is a 360 degrees rotation, while the second one brings the Sun at the same place in the sky.
It has little to do with the vacuum of space not creating enough friction to be able to slow down the spin of the earth.. AS MUCH as it has to do with the sheer momentum that an object the mass of the earth has in its spin to begin with, orbital dynamics considered.
If the Earth was tidally locked due to the Moon, a day on Earth would be 1 month, not 1 year, as that would be the time it would take for the Earth-Moon system to revolve around each other
Thanks cause i was about to say the exact same thing. But i also would like to consider this. I think we would actually be able to use the moon as a new time system. We would still have a constant sun for 6 months approximately and then the 6 months without the sun while all still having the moon be the basis of that new cycle of time.
WHY would earth and moon revolve around each other? The moon revolves around earth because of earth’s greater g pull. There’s no way a planet would be tidally locked to a moon revolving around it!
Just pointed out a mistake I made in my comment Tidally locked means the earth would rotate once a year meaning the same side would always face the sun so infinite night on one side infinite day on the other But you are absolutely correct if it stopped spinning a day would be a year
Wait, if the atmosphere, the oceans, and the plates of the earth's crust keep moving, then wouldn't that be essentially the same as if everything were still rotating?
I think what he is referring to is Newtons first law that says an object in motion will stay in motion. If you imagine putting water in a big tub and then dragging it with a car slowly speeding up and then you suddenly stop the tub, the water will want to keep going in the direction you were driving. This is basically what will happen in the short term if the world were to stop spinning instantaneously. The atmosphere and water would move incredibly fast relative to the ground hence high winds and tidal waves.
The nomadic tribe scenario would not work even if people somehow survived the disasters before. To continuously stay in the habitable twilight zone at the equator you would need to travel 68 miles every 24 hours which is how far that twilight area would travel on the surface of the Earth in a 24 hour period at the equator. Even at the latitude of the tropic of Capricorn would be 62 miles a day. Even at the latitude of the arctic circle you would still need to travel 27 miles a day. Just take the circumference of the latitude you are traveling at and divide it by 365 and that is how many miles you would have to travel a day to stay at the same level of shade/light that is survivable. To get to a doable level of travel time in a 24 hour period you would have to be so very close to the poles and would have no dry land.
@@miky5941 is that all you can say? Shows how unintelligent you are, there are loads of inaccurate statements in this video including that the moon does not spin!

One thing that urked me when it was stated in the video that the Sun caused Venus to spin bavkwards, this is impossible. At the very worst, the sun could slow down a planets rotation to the point that its day is the same length as its year (one side always faces the sun). This is called tidal locking, and this is why the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. The only way to make a planet spin backwards is for it to be hit by an object large enough to reverse its rotation.
That's what's believed to have caused Venus' reverse spin. It seems it's been knocked 180 degrees of its axis. You're right, once tidally locked, a body wouldn't suddenly start up again by the same force that induced tidal locking. One has to simply look at the Moon.
Yeah I think you're right. I mean it's vaguely possible that repeated interaction with mercury and the earth could start it spinning backwards over long time scales, but I'm no astrophysicist.
This is the situation where the Earthremains oriented to the same direction in the universe all year. What would happen if it kept pointing the same side at the Sun (like it's tidally locked) would be much more drastic, as one side would be permanently extremely hot, and the other extremely cold. And I wonder what would happen to the atmosphere if it happened overnight.
There’s a book by Carl Sagan called Broca’s Brain. In the back is a section that gives the math and a description of a sudden stop to the earth’s rotation. Short version, the earth turns to magma and immediately explodes as there is nowhere for all that angular momentum to go. This raises the temperature of the earth’s atoms and creates the explosion.
when would this theoretically happen? Taking into consideration about how slow the earth is dialing down the speed and how fast the earth is currently spinning
For most of whatever is said in this video, never. Because the slowing of spin in the earth is so miniscule that by the time it happens it would've been slowed towards the point where the only real thing that would've happened is that there would be no 24 hour day/night cycle on earth and would act like mercury. But the intense wind storms, tsunamis and what not wouldn't happen since there is no more momentum to send the wind/ocean flying.
You don't have to worry about it. Humanity will be wiped out or leave "perhaps again" long before it ever happens. So a few more billion years. But you can track the time if you like? Infographics usually gives 50% of the info you need or complete nonsense all together. The earth gets its spin from the moon. The earth "spin" is slowing, because the moon is getting further away. So when the moon starts looking really small. Get in Elons most recent whip...n bounce
Neil deGrasse Tyson gave a really good explanation of this a few years ago. Kinda the short version, though. I like this one as it expands on his explanation. In greater detail. Well done.
That man is fruad but glad you like him hopefuly you voted biden took every jabbed removed freedom backed the sloughtering of innocent middle easterns and are proud be a tyrant sympathizer
ya but the earth also bulges at the middle! so that means, the land would lower in the middle and bulge a little at the top which would neutralize the poles water level being raised
@@imcalledweasley9280 I also don't understand how at 0:35 he says that "In the vacuum of space there is no friction to slow down the speed of Earth's rotation, however the speed in which it is rotating is decreasing. Totally contradicted himself there lol. He didn't clarify until the end of the video.
Actually, the highest recorded wind gust ever measured on Earth came from a Doppler on Wheels (DoW) mobile data truck taking wind measurements from the 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore tornado in Oklahoma. Winds of that tornado were measured for a total of one sustained minute at 302 mph.
There are other imaginary scenarios to analyse. 1) What if the Moon gets away, slowly. 2) What if the Earth is pushed away from its orbit; but not along the ecliptic though, as it could crash into the other planets. Say the Earth is pushed to the north of the solar system, which has itself an angle of 60° with respect to the Galactic plane. 3) What if the Solar System is pushed out at 90° of its orbit, 27K lightyears around the Galactic centre; one orbit of the Galaxy takes 250K years tho. I can't immediately think of the consequences....
Fun video. You had me with the first jolt. I personally think the inner core would continue spinning and get us up to speed eventually. You covered almost everything but I wondered how stopping the crust of earth would affect the moon? Would it be flung away like a hurler his mace?
15:09 The moon DOES spin, please research things properly, it spins once every 27 days, we only see about 55% of the moon because of that rotation speed, its rotation direction coupled with its direction and speed of orbit round earth. Again, please research things properly, thick people will take things like that as fact when its wildly incorrect.
I'd look at it like this, the sun gets to see both sides of the moon, so it spins in that respect, except we only see one side of it, so with respect to the earth, it would be easy for many to assume it doesn't spin
@@Englishsea24 That's what I thought. However wouldn't that mean the sun only ever sees one side of the earth rather than switching sides every 6 months?
@@tonysegadelli9421 I'm a bit late, but that would only happen if the Earth spun once for each orbit of the Sun. Much like the moon does with each orbit of the Earth, as explained in OP.
I remember another video saying that if Earth stopped rotating it would be forever day on one side and forever night on the other. Thinking about it now, that would mean the earth would still be rotating only as fast as its orbit around the sun, similar to the moon's rotation being as fast as its orbit around us hence why we only see one side of it. This video's explanation makes more sense
In regard to the nomads traveling around the earth's equatorial continent to stay in the twilight zone... they would need to travel about 68 miles (110 km) every 24 hours. So basically, never stop.
An impact wouldn't even need to happen to stop the spin, a similar size object hurdling by in the opposite direction would significantly reduce speed, if not all together, due to gravitational forces.
Not to be that guy, but ERM ACTUALLY! The highest wind gust were 290-310. This was during the El Reno tornado in El Reno, OK. There were also many other EF5s in OK that were near or over 300 mph winds.
The Earth has three basic planetary motions. Revolving around the Sun, complicated by the Sun and other Stars circling the Milky Way , etc. , but then the Earth rotates on a axis and then the axial line tilts and rolls around in a third motion . Thus the Sun usually rises in the East , but if the axis of this rotation was to wobble and keel over and tumble , then the Sun may appear to rise in the West, but a conversation of matter and energy would keep the Earth stable , while the three motions continue to vary. It is like a spinning top wobbling around, and like a gyroscope magnetically attached to a rail, spins clockwise on top of the rail but can tumble over to the bottom of the rail , held by the magnetism but yet spinning now counter clockwise with respect to the observer. So the Earth can have an observable time of the Sun standing still, if the Earth is tilting over on it's axis on route to changing it's observed direction of rotation , just like a gyro would do , if you have observed this effect. Rather than stop rotating, the Earth wobbles and tilts over , reversing the appearance of the direction of it's spin, but because the Earth has not really stopped at all, the observer on the Earth may not feel any strange force or sudden calamity of disaster.
It doesn't even matter if we stopped at all or not, we wouldn't feel regardless, just like how we are not feeling the spin right now, gravty is in control around earth, nothing woulf happen apart from a couple climate changes, this episode is cringe.
Would the earth ever really be able to fully stop tho? the moon represents a gravitational force to our planet creating wind, which allows our planet to cool down, pulling the oceans henceforth creating the process of raining, but my point is... doesn't the moon also affect, at least, the speed in which earth rotates? or would it stop as well?
Cyber truck unveil was 2019 so enough time for it to be memed. 😂. Also if you listen for “nothing will float to space” it was a silent homage to the TSLA roadster that’s in space orbiting the earth. Thats what I think anyways. 🤷♂️
If the earth stopped instantly and you where dead center on the pole I would think you would continue to spin at the same speed... So you should definently notice. But not in the same way
Do “Walt Disney’s Gummi Bears” and please put me in the credits. The Gummi Bears of Gummi Glen are the last of a once great race of Gummis. Regarded by many as a fairytale they are gentle, loveable creatures who want to live in harmony with mankind - but sometimes it's not easy. * A group of reclusive humanoid bears and a few trusted humans explore their lost heritage and prevent their enemies from exploiting it. * Long ago, there was a thriving civilization of small humanoid bears called Gummi Bears. Possessing powerful magic and advanced technology, this race coexisted with humans until the growing rivalry forced the Gummies to flee across the sea, leaving only a small caretaker colony to prepare for a possible return. However, generations passed and the colony forgot their purpose even as human knowledge of the race faded into mere legend. All that changes when the colony meets a boy with a Gummi Bear medallion which unlocks the Great Book of Gummi which reveals lost knowledge of their past. Now the colony has dedicated themselves to the new goal to rediscover their heritage with the help of a few trusted humans while preventing new enemies like Duke Igthorn from exploiting that heritage to their own ends. It is a Medieval Animated Shows set in Medieval Times and animated and televised by Walt Disney. It aired from 1985 to 1991
What if the world stopped spinning slowly, like a 10mph drop, per hour? And then, instead of a year long day, we become tidally locked with the sun so that one side of the planet always faces the sun. What would happen then?
The idea of being launched at 1000 miles per hour is inconceivable.
I was not expecting to find you here
That’s because the earth is flat
But... that wouldn't happen, gravity is the center of the earth because of it's mass, we wouldn't notice a single thing, for the same reason we ain't feeling any force spinning us, all we feel is gravity pulling on us, but the it has nothing to do with the motion of the earth.

15:55 Another correction, the sidereal day is 23h56 while the solar day is 24h. The first one is a 360 degrees rotation, while the second one brings the Sun at the same place in the sky.
It’s magic!
While the 250+ mph wind speed is technically correct, the highest windspeed is the tristate tornado with 300+ mph winds.
It has little to do with the vacuum of space not creating enough friction to be able to slow down the spin of the earth..
AS MUCH as it has to do with the sheer momentum that an object the mass of the earth has in its spin to begin with, orbital dynamics considered.
If the Earth was tidally locked due to the Moon, a day on Earth would be 1 month, not 1 year, as that would be the time it would take for the Earth-Moon system to revolve around each other
Thanks cause i was about to say the exact same thing. But i also would like to consider this. I think we would actually be able to use the moon as a new time system. We would still have a constant sun for 6 months approximately and then the 6 months without the sun while all still having the moon be the basis of that new cycle of time.
Misinformation .. thank you for fixing it
@James Henry Smith Exactly. Wake them up because they're still asleep!
WHY would earth and moon revolve around each other? The moon revolves around earth because of earth’s greater g pull. There’s no way a planet would be tidally locked to a moon revolving around it!
Just pointed out a mistake I made in my comment
Tidally locked means the earth would rotate once a year meaning the same side would always face the sun so infinite night on one side infinite day on the other
But you are absolutely correct if it stopped spinning a day would be a year
1:09 The random Cybertruck flying😂
The “twilight zone” strategy for survival would not be practical, since there would be periods when this area would be covering the ocean.
Yeah but you’d have no other choice
It wouldn’t necessarily require an impact, just having a large body fly past. Also, the moon would effect the water levels if the earth stopped also
A large body would also give earth a gravity assist, so it's either freezing to death in the void of space or fall into the sun.
@Volkssturmgewehr how the availability of 7.92x33mm Kurtz?
A body large enough to do that getting anywhere near Earth would cause so many other issues that rotation would be the least of our concerns.
Actually, if the earth stopped spinning we would all become airborne since the spinning earth is what provides the gravitational pull.
If tectonic plates keep moving, what was it that actually stopped spinning? Earth's core?
probably
The.....the earth man. Watch
@@imsorrythatimright6082 why would earth stop spinning while tectonic plates are moving?
@Top New inertia bruh
@@topnew9425 Its a hypothetical... Aka, its fake. Its a what if. For funsies
Wait, if the atmosphere, the oceans, and the plates of the earth's crust keep moving, then wouldn't that be essentially the same as if everything were still rotating?
I think what he is referring to is Newtons first law that says an object in motion will stay in motion. If you imagine putting water in a big tub and then dragging it with a car slowly speeding up and then you suddenly stop the tub, the water will want to keep going in the direction you were driving. This is basically what will happen in the short term if the world were to stop spinning instantaneously. The atmosphere and water would move incredibly fast relative to the ground hence high winds and tidal waves.
Doesn't make sense does it
@@jamesmatthews2966 it does, it's the reason your body keeps moving when you brake a car. Inertia.

Would you survive..... no
The nomadic tribe scenario would not work even if people somehow survived the disasters before. To continuously stay in the habitable twilight zone at the equator you would need to travel 68 miles every 24 hours which is how far that twilight area would travel on the surface of the Earth in a 24 hour period at the equator. Even at the latitude of the tropic of Capricorn would be 62 miles a day. Even at the latitude of the arctic circle you would still need to travel 27 miles a day. Just take the circumference of the latitude you are traveling at and divide it by 365 and that is how many miles you would have to travel a day to stay at the same level of shade/light that is survivable. To get to a doable level of travel time in a 24 hour period you would have to be so very close to the poles and would have no dry land.
The strongest wind gust wasn’t 250 mph. It was 318 during the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado in 1999.
So?

@@Masutora challenge ACCEPTED!!
One thing that urked me when it was stated in the video that the Sun caused Venus to spin bavkwards, this is impossible. At the very worst, the sun could slow down a planets rotation to the point that its day is the same length as its year (one side always faces the sun). This is called tidal locking, and this is why the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. The only way to make a planet spin backwards is for it to be hit by an object large enough to reverse its rotation.
That's what's believed to have caused Venus' reverse spin. It seems it's been knocked 180 degrees of its axis. You're right, once tidally locked, a body wouldn't suddenly start up again by the same force that induced tidal locking. One has to simply look at the Moon.
Yeah I think you're right. I mean it's vaguely possible that repeated interaction with mercury and the earth could start it spinning backwards over long time scales, but I'm no astrophysicist.
@James Henry Smith OK prove it
But you cannot prove that the Bible and Quran are true.
@James Henry Smith Source: Trust me bro 😉
My toxic trait is thinking I could survive this
So many factors that keep our planet running smoothly and hospitably for us, and some people still think it was all accidental... 🤦♂
This is a DEVASTATINGLY interesting subject. Great vid
This is the situation where the Earthremains oriented to the same direction in the universe all year. What would happen if it kept pointing the same side at the Sun (like it's tidally locked) would be much more drastic, as one side would be permanently extremely hot, and the other extremely cold. And I wonder what would happen to the atmosphere if it happened overnight.
@James Henry Smith so much for the "witty" Atheshit.
There’s a book by Carl Sagan called Broca’s Brain. In the back is a section that gives the math and a description of a sudden stop to the earth’s rotation. Short version, the earth turns to magma and immediately explodes as there is nowhere for all that angular momentum to go. This raises the temperature of the earth’s atoms and creates the explosion.
when would this theoretically happen? Taking into consideration about how slow the earth is dialing down the speed and how fast the earth is currently spinning
actually never, but it would take hundreds of billions of years if it did hypothetically
For most of whatever is said in this video, never. Because the slowing of spin in the earth is so miniscule that by the time it happens it would've been slowed towards the point where the only real thing that would've happened is that there would be no 24 hour day/night cycle on earth and would act like mercury. But the intense wind storms, tsunamis and what not wouldn't happen since there is no more momentum to send the wind/ocean flying.
@@jaymxu Are you insane? What happens when you stop fast in a car. It would be that times 2000
@@Karl_V. exactly what I thought!!!!! You tell 'em! LOL
You don't have to worry about it. Humanity will be wiped out or leave "perhaps again" long before it ever happens. So a few more billion years. But you can track the time if you like? Infographics usually gives 50% of the info you need or complete nonsense all together. The earth gets its spin from the moon. The earth "spin" is slowing, because the moon is getting further away. So when the moon starts looking really small. Get in Elons most recent whip...n bounce
Neil deGrasse Tyson gave a really good explanation of this a few years ago. Kinda the short version, though. I like this one as it expands on his explanation. In greater detail. Well done.
That man is fruad but glad you like him hopefuly you voted biden took every jabbed removed freedom backed the sloughtering of innocent middle easterns and are proud be a tyrant sympathizer
Wait, the Moon does rotate. It just takes a month to do 1 revolution.
Yeah, I picked up on that.
@sub R0cky Yes, once every month.
ya but the earth also bulges at the middle! so that means, the land would lower in the middle and bulge a little at the top which would neutralize the poles water level being raised
It wouldn't be the same level of reshaping as the oceans as one is a liquid and one is a solid, more or less.
@@legitbeans9078 ya i was thinking the same thing, so it wouldn't be as much as he said but none the less it would happen
13:44 that doesn't make any sense because if it were true, Mercury would also be rotating in the opposite direction.
I was just about to comment something to this effect, I now need an explanation as to why the Sun's gravitational pull affects Venus but not Mercury
@@imcalledweasley9280 I also don't understand how at 0:35 he says that "In the vacuum of space there is no friction to slow down the speed of Earth's rotation, however the speed in which it is rotating is decreasing. Totally contradicted himself there lol. He didn't clarify until the end of the video.
Actually, the highest recorded wind gust ever measured on Earth came from a Doppler on Wheels (DoW) mobile data truck taking wind measurements from the 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore tornado in Oklahoma. Winds of that tornado were measured for a total of one sustained minute at 302 mph.
Along with many hurricanes regularly exceeding 150mph considering a cat 5 is 155+
True!
There are other imaginary scenarios to analyse.
1) What if the Moon gets away, slowly.
2) What if the Earth is pushed away from its orbit; but not along the ecliptic though, as it could crash into the other planets. Say the Earth is pushed to the north of the solar system, which has itself an angle of 60° with respect to the Galactic plane.
3) What if the Solar System is pushed out at 90° of its orbit, 27K lightyears around the Galactic centre; one orbit of the Galaxy takes 250K years tho. I can't immediately think of the consequences....
Thank God for keeping the earth spinning!!
Fun video. You had me with the first jolt. I personally think the inner core would continue spinning and get us up to speed eventually. You covered almost everything but I wondered how stopping the crust of earth would affect the moon? Would it be flung away like a hurler his mace?
I think we’d be spinning slower, but that’s true the liquid core would continue to move even if the solid earth layers jolted to a stop
15:09 The moon DOES spin, please research things properly, it spins once every 27 days, we only see about 55% of the moon because of that rotation speed, its rotation direction coupled with its direction and speed of orbit round earth. Again, please research things properly, thick people will take things like that as fact when its wildly incorrect.
I'd look at it like this, the sun gets to see both sides of the moon, so it spins in that respect, except we only see one side of it, so with respect to the earth, it would be easy for many to assume it doesn't spin
@@Englishsea24 That's what I thought. However wouldn't that mean the sun only ever sees one side of the earth rather than switching sides every 6 months?
@@tonysegadelli9421 I'm a bit late, but that would only happen if the Earth spun once for each orbit of the Sun. Much like the moon does with each orbit of the Earth, as explained in OP.
I remember another video saying that if Earth stopped rotating it would be forever day on one side and forever night on the other.
Thinking about it now, that would mean the earth would still be rotating only as fast as its orbit around the sun, similar to the moon's rotation being as fast as its orbit around us hence why we only see one side of it.
This video's explanation makes more sense
All the survivors have to do is go to space and spin the earth again and it'll all work out
It's kind of crazy how perfect the world is in order to sustain life.
Of course it's perfect. Life evolved according to these conditions. An Earth with different specs would yield a different kind of life.

So the earth spins fast but we don't feel it. but when it stops suddenly, we will?
It's similar to being in an airplane or car. You're moving fast but you don't feel it, but if it stops that's when the momentum hits
Well yes, but actually no
Don't worry It doesn't spin
In regard to the nomads traveling around the earth's equatorial continent to stay in the twilight zone... they would need to travel about 68 miles (110 km) every 24 hours. So basically, never stop.
Just did the math before I saw this comment lol... but 68 miles per day would be at the equator could be reduced by heading further north or south.
@@codyholt3020 Was described only as an equatorial continent, so no idea how far off zero latitude they can travel, just calculated from equator.

More on planets please 😊
Ok core just stoped now what
We’re believers ! We relay in our creator .
An impact wouldn't even need to happen to stop the spin, a similar size object hurdling by in the opposite direction would significantly reduce speed, if not all together, due to gravitational forces.
hold my beer
Not to be that guy, but ERM ACTUALLY! The highest wind gust were 290-310. This was during the El Reno tornado in El Reno, OK. There were also many other EF5s in OK that were near or over 300 mph winds.
the real question is what if it actually started spinning...?
it is spinning we just dont notice it we would notice if it stopped spinning
Well, this was depressing lol Good video infographics show!
Actually the fastest winds ever recorded was 318+- mph from an f5 tornado in 1999
The Earth has three basic planetary motions. Revolving around the Sun, complicated by the Sun and other Stars circling the Milky Way , etc. , but then the Earth rotates on a axis and then the axial line tilts and rolls around in a third motion . Thus the Sun usually rises in the East , but if the axis of this rotation was to wobble and keel over and tumble , then the Sun may appear to rise in the West, but a conversation of matter and energy would keep the Earth stable , while the three motions continue to vary. It is like a spinning top wobbling around, and like a gyroscope magnetically attached to a rail, spins clockwise on top of the rail but can tumble over to the bottom of the rail , held by the magnetism but yet spinning now counter clockwise with respect to the observer. So the Earth can have an observable time of the Sun standing still, if the Earth is tilting over on it's axis on route to changing it's observed direction of rotation , just like a gyro would do , if you have observed this effect. Rather than stop rotating, the Earth wobbles and tilts over , reversing the appearance of the direction of it's spin, but because the Earth has not really stopped at all, the observer on the Earth may not feel any strange force or sudden calamity of disaster.
It doesn't even matter if we stopped at all or not, we wouldn't feel regardless, just like how we are not feeling the spin right now, gravty is in control around earth, nothing woulf happen apart from a couple climate changes, this episode is cringe.

Did you do an episode focusing on Jimmy Hoffa? If I remember correctly his whole career started because of a dispute over strawberries
Would the earth ever really be able to fully stop tho? the moon represents a gravitational force to our planet creating wind, which allows our planet to cool down, pulling the oceans henceforth creating the process of raining, but my point is... doesn't the moon also affect, at least, the speed in which earth rotates? or would it stop as well?

Do “Walt Disney’s Gummi Bears” and please put me in the credits.
The Gummi Bears of Gummi Glen are the last of a once great race of Gummis. Regarded by many as a fairytale they are gentle, loveable creatures who want to live in harmony with mankind - but sometimes it's not easy.
* A group of reclusive humanoid bears and a few trusted humans explore their lost heritage and prevent their enemies from exploiting it.
* Long ago, there was a thriving civilization of small humanoid bears called Gummi Bears. Possessing powerful magic and advanced technology, this race coexisted with humans until the growing rivalry forced the Gummies to flee across the sea, leaving only a small caretaker colony to prepare for a possible return. However, generations passed and the colony forgot their purpose even as human knowledge of the race faded into mere legend. All that changes when the colony meets a boy with a Gummi Bear medallion which unlocks the Great Book of Gummi which reveals lost knowledge of their past. Now the colony has dedicated themselves to the new goal to rediscover their heritage with the help of a few trusted humans while preventing new enemies like Duke Igthorn from exploiting that heritage to their own ends. It is a Medieval Animated Shows set in Medieval Times and animated and televised by Walt Disney.

Another interesting question would be what if the sun stopped revolving around the Milky Way
What if the world stopped spinning slowly, like a 10mph drop, per hour?
And then, instead of a year long day, we become tidally locked with the sun so that one side of the planet always faces the sun.
What would happen then?
