    I first saw this 8 years ago and unfortunately the most memorable part that stuck with me was the ragdoll physics of the animated city ravaged by a halt in rotation. Don't get me wrong, the physics and astronomy are done very well, and I've appreciated it more as I've gone on in my education.
    The the shear shock factor of giggling at something you really shouldn't, is all too memorable.

    If there really was a Transporter as in Star Trek, it would need to be calibrated to beam you to your spot on the planet at the same speed as the planet's rotation. Otherwise, you would be killed by the speed of the planet and the objects on it pummeling you.

      @mbgrafix (I'm writing this not to argue at all and It has nothing to do with this comment. I just wanted to see if CZcams is censoring me. I made a comment correcting a mistake that vsause made about what would happen if the earth stopped spinning and I am the only one that can see the comment. I made it on another channel called gokuhawks14 and I am reposting it as a response on this channel. let me know if you see the comment and give me your opinion of it.)
      from gokuhawks14 "(@2:38) If the earth stopped spinning you would have 6 months of daylight and and another 6 months of night time. Vsause got this wrong. For the earth to have a full year of daylight it would have to be tidally locked with the sun so it would have to be revolving around the sun at the same rate that it (spins).
      So if the earth stopped spinning we would not have 365 days of daylight more like 182 days of daylight and then another 182 days of night time."
      Thanks in advance 👍

    This type of concept of how we conveniently move along with the motion of the earth makes time often think: how convenient it is for life, that momentum exists. Think about how the universe could have unwittingly just had all properties of physics in place except for momentum, and we wouldn’t have had a surface to stand on. Heck, planets would probably not even form under that condition. Which then makes me wonder, would life always find a way anyway?
