      11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.
      12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
      13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done.
      14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

    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.

    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.

    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. The wind speed was identified to be within an F5 tornado in or around Bridge Creek, OK on 05/03/1999. It is one of the most famous weather events on record. The photos of the damage it did in housing additions that were hit dead-on by the center of the tornado is scary. Nothing left. No debris. No homes. No cars. Just pieces of concrete slab foundations. I can’t imagine what 1,000mph wind would do.

    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..

    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.

      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

  • @ghyslainabel
    @ghyslainabel Před 2 lety +5

    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.

      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.

But the intense wind storms, tsunamis and what not wouldn't happen since there is no more momentum to send the wind/ocean flying.

    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.

    • @steffent1556
      @steffent1556 Před 2 lety

      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.
