A giant asteroid is headed our way. But no, it won't hit the Earth. This asteroid is about to slam into the Moon and crack it right in half. What would it be like to witness this epic collision? Would the Moon break clean in two? Or would it shatter into a million pieces? And how could one of these pieces wipe out life here on Earth?

Hey What if, If there was no moon, earth day would be 6-12 hours.. meaning is 4× faster then 1 day and, 1st comment
Bet I won't win anyways
Can you also list the movies you get these clips from?
Do you want 7M Subscribers, "What If" says "yes"
@@fluffycatrsounds7514 huh?
Welp this is terrifying 😭. It’s crazy to realize how many things we depend on for sustaining life on this planet
I remember you commenting on another video
It’s almost as if something designed it
Yes and you're beautiful.
I see you everywhere on what if
We need fish
This channel got me into loving Astronomy way more than I thought it would have! Awesome video by the way, can you please do a video on "What If the Milky Way Was The Only Galaxy In the Universe?" that would be really interesting video to see!! :)
We are lucky to have you! That's a very interesting idea, thank you for sharing it with us. 🙂
You and me both I did not realize there are so many variables for human surivaval
On another one of these videos, now i have the munchies to eat gallium.

What if suggestion: What if all the planets lost their moons and rings. I watched all your videos. I am a serious what ifer.
Serious Serious what if(er) !

THE EVIL....
DO NOT YES
YES YES

YOU....
YES....

Imagine watching 2 moons smash into each other
Really 🤦♂️
the meteor would have to be .75 moons, but the meteor would leave a giant crater on the moon, similar to the one that may have made hills on the core of the moon.
Dude you give me goosebumps just by imagining it realistically because what if it's really going to really happens? Not now not in 3 or 5 yrs but maybe 50 yrs or 100 yrs
I'm addicted to this channel... You have the perfect voice and the most exciting topics... This is the most epic channel I've ever seen ❤... Keep it up and give ourselves these exciting videos everyday🥺❤🖤
Your name reminds me of sushant singh rajput 🥺
@@prashanth_m_s She was 'Rhea' though 😂
We are lucky to have you!
@@WhatIfScienceShow 🥺🖤
Scientifically suspect. 45⁰ tilt would cause bigger seasonal swings; hotter summers and colder winters. Ice ages? We have variations in the wobble of the Earth's axis now as model.
Lies again? Half Alien Half Man
Sounds scary, but it really good to know all those hypotheses
I'm still baffled about that how the asteroid will get the momentum required to split The Moon in half @1/6th of G.
What if always makes us imagine things that would destroy earth but they can’t happen
So nobody would ever know if it's true or not
Another amazing What If, thank you, *What If*
what if he saw this
What if he hearted this
@@cha_hoe nothing
What if earths most infamous past conquers were brought back during modern times?
A gun would gid rid of most
What if the moon was a second Earth, could both planets live without colliding?
If they were gravitationally locked and orbiting eachother at the exact right speed and distance, then... Yes..
But, that would change everything you know about earth , like for example, instead of 1-2 meter waves on the coast, we would have tsunamis ALL THE TIME. Waves could be hundreds of meters or even km high, high and low tides would cover significant spans of distance, possibly submerging entire continents.
Gravity itself might be effected, winds could get out of control, seasons would probably be significantly different, and most if not all life (if there even was life) would have to adapt to the completely different circumstances. It would be highly unlikely there would be intelligent life as the planet would be extremely violent... Basically natural disasters of unimaginable proportions would be standard every day weather - earthquakes literally off the Richter scale*, tsunamis, hurricanes, blizzards, volcanoes exploding 24/7*
* There would be no "Richter scale" as there would be no Richter
*24/7 would be meaningless as "hours" "days" and "weeks" would be different amounts of time, and there would be no humans to measure time anyway
I had a terrifying dream about this exact thing years ago.
can you do
“ what if all of earth was land “
now that would be interesting 🧐
You do it
'What if' never disappoints us. They always gives us quality videos.
@Naresh Achary man don't embarrass yourself
@@AmanKumar-ev7ix are you gay?
@@Guywithcoolusername1625 Are you ?
@@AmanKumar-ev7ix Where is the embarrassment?
We are very thankful for you comment!
Please make: What If the Earth’s Gravity reduced to half.
Yes, that would be an interesting topic.
Why
@@Guywithcoolusername1625 because they would like to know
This a great video!
Indeed. I love his hypothetical scenario videos
Another amazing What if, Thank you What if.
o
As a CZcams creator myself.. I can really appreciate the amount of work What If puts into his videos!! Respect man!! 👊🔥
They r a company
Didn’t you say the same thing on two different videos?
@@lemoneer7474 they are just spammers
Thank you, we appreciate your support!
@@WhatIfScienceShow hi
Reminds me of Naruto the last when
Toneri Splits the Moon in half
Love what if videos
Ur videos make alot of sence omg I can't stop watching them 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👁
Except for the part how he said biggest chunks wouldn't make that much of an impact yeah I severely beg to differ.
What if there was no moon
We'd all be dead
Omg early I love this
This is super terrifying thinking that this stuff could happen by just the moon cracking!
Ok brother
everyone talks about how a scattered moon could potentially destroy earth, but no one talks about how the moon took a bullet for the earth🥲
Sagittarius A* , abbreviated SGR A* is the supermassive blackhole at the galactic center of the milky way. It is the located near the border of constellation of sagittarius and scorpius, about 5.6 south of the ecliptic, visually close to the butterfly cluster and the lambda scorpii.
That Shelby replica is dope!
What if we live on an inside-out globe with the sun and planets in the middle😂
Seveneves is a pretty cool book somewhat dealing with this question
Amazing video!
Interesting and another what if video. What If an asteroid hiit Mars
Every scenario with What If would cause a world apocalypse
But, we love the apocalypse and destruction theories, until they actually happen that is.
NO VIEWS yet but 24 comments? I don’t understand
😂
The old Hanna-Barbara cartoon Thundarr the Barbarian opened with a rogue planet passing between the Earth and the Moon, causing our satellite not to split in two but break into many large pieces. And these pieces stayed in orbit, giving the Earth many smaller moons.
A very good documentary
Here I was thinking okay this would be okay….naaaaah you came into this conversation with the twist at the end 😫
You missed what would happen to the Earth’s rotation due to the law of conservation of angular momentum. Absent the Moon, Earth’s rotation would accelerate, wreaking havoc on plate tectonics, the atmosphere, and everything in between. It would be a very bad day.
Really special and creative content videos,that too science fiction videos means it's heaven 💥👌🏻Fan from INDIA 😎
Thank you for your support! 🙂
Schools Would Still be Open
It would be one big mess,and it's all heading for us....been nice knowing you.
Dang. Got it stuck in my head this one is being read like a car commercial... but the script is for moon smashing
“What if ceres grows a size like moon and replaces moon?” Would be really cool!
Dude really making me wnna do the unthinkable and move to the north and south pole just in case this actually happened
The book Seveneves is based on this happening and what humanity would do. Really good book.
It is my favorite scifi book so far!
What if "What if" was deleted from CZcams?
This could be a great relief as every video of what if implants a new wierd fear of death into my mind.
We are truly aligned
I just had a terrible dream about this, and I literly cried during my dream, it felt so real.
Theoretically, under circumstances where the moon being shattered doesn't affect our oceans and wind, Earth could have it's own "ring" of ex-moon asteroid fragments
Subbing on the strength of that weird-ass opening cgi. It's like coming home...
well there’d be no more waterbending
I just hope this stays as a What if. Instead of becoming real
When it comes. You see.. you need to call your friends and take them to a good place to see it and hold hands and scream
Now I understand what the books meant by "splitting of the moon"
Yes, that events maybe just illusion..
@Ujick46 actually, an article published by "Brown University" suggested that the moon was actually almost split in half from the farside of it
Can you do what if it stop raining?
Big fan btw
crazy I was born in 2013 and so much stuff in space happenes in that year
6:06 pause it.....what if ...there is a mistake ......see...we got 2 suns also 🤣
Can we all appreciate what if for giving us all free content for our enjoyment 😉
Daily watcher from 🇨🇦
nice vid
A good start
I had a nightmare today,My mother called me and said "Look at that Alan".Then I said "wait is that an aster" then the moon hit the Moon, And EAS alarms start to ring loudly and Asteroid started hitting and it was Bright,Then I began to Pray,Thankfully I woke up!
Nice video.
had a dream about a second moon appearing and crashing into the original moon, causing widespread disasters
This narration reminds me of a show that would air many years ago called MANswers lol
More space videos please
That would have to be one hell of an asteroid, not likely, think about it.
I could really smoke a “moonrock” 😂
Largest thing in asteroid belt is Ceres.
It's amazing after 35 minutes CZcams still showing no views
And we could never escape because of the billions of pieces of moon orbiting the earth
Its honestly amazing how I clicked the video and its showed no views and 319 likes.
I like this
No life on earth without moon full stop. No discussion neccessary.
Them : “was about to crack the moon open”
The moon already crack : am i a joke to u
I'm about to be old-school. This has Thundarr The Barbarian written all over it.
Big fan
*No views, but 66 comments? CZcams’s drunk again.*
Yeah just noticed🧐
It'd basically just be the same as a asteroid but bigger
This scenario assumes the object would hit the moon in line with the earth. This seems very unlikely. Most of the debris would probably not shatter toward earth, but off in some other direction, possibly leaving our orbit.
2:04 do no thanks omaze
what if a moon changed into a black hole im waiting for this topic
We already saw a simulation of this in the 1970s on Saturday morning cartoons "Thundar the Barbarian"
When a Asteroid breaks moon we will all die without moon
Can you do a what if there was no such thing as pollution?
The idea you could crack the moon into two pieces is ridiculous. Hitting the moon with a large asteroid with enough energy to overcome the gravity that holds the moon together would liquify the majority of the rock from both objects.
So... there wouldn't be any rings in result from that event?
Its really cool
0:49: *says it was a beautiful summer night in England*
*immediately shows Edinburgh Castle, Scotland*
This is basically the plot of the sci-fi novel Seveneves!
The greatest pessimist to whom I am a big fan
This is how we got Thundar the barbarian.
Actually a plot scenario for the novel Seveneves...
earth is nothing without moon. I love you moon. please don't ever disappear 🥺
Dr. Eggman already showed us what would happen in Sonic Adventure 2 🥴
how insane
Whoa!
What if our technology becomes super advanced and then we destroyed every asteroid and meteorites.
You would still be unemployed
@@Guywithcoolusername1625 oh sorry! I can understand your pain.
We need another theia to collide with earth to make a new moon NOW
