  • Hang on because we’re about to screech to a halt. That’s right. The Earth is going to stop spinning for five seconds. How much damage would this sudden stoppage cause? What would you experience in different parts of the world? And when the Earth starts spinning again, would it still be habitable? How would the day and night cycle be affected? Why would there be strong winds?

    If the earth stands still for 5 seconds, the same thing happens as a bus or train suddenly brakes. All moving objects are thrown in the direction of the earth's rotation. The speed at the equator 40,000 km / 24 hours is about 1700km / hour. You have to hold on tight.

      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.

That house and that storm happened here in my hometown of cedar rapids. I've seen that clip hundreds of times while watching the news here during and after that storm. Quite a surprising thing to randomly discover on a random click this morning. Another reason I just love "What If"!

    The speed of our earth is 1670 km / h. So we are all moving at this speed. If the earth suddenly stopped, we would lean forward at this speed due to the inertia of motion. If an object is thrown at this speed, it will go into space.

      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

      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.

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...

    The thing is, if everything slammed to an instant stop, you wouldn't have water or wind moving (it too would all have stopped). Although as they say, the water accumulated near the equator would recede to the poles as a tsunami, but what would smash everything would be the deceleration forces, depending on how long it took to stop. Or maybe not if the forces stopping everything also acted on each object equally meaning nothing would be felt. It all depends on what stops, what doesn't stop, and the physical manner in which it's all made to stop.
    Slightly more realistically: If some kind of massive magnetic field acted on the core and somehow quickly stopped it spinning, then everything else (mostly unaffected by the magnetism) would gradually start coming to a stop from the friction thousands of miles down, which would be the friction between the stopped core, and the still moving mantle and the crust. Wonder how long that would take? Hours? Days? Weeks? Either way you'd get titanic volcanism from the massively induced global continental drift that at the equator would suddenly be around a thousand miles and hour! There would be felt forces, titanic earthquakes, large tsunami's (mostly in one direction) and the buildup of winds and storms though I doubt it would be anything like the full wind speed mentioned in the video, since it would take quite a while for the mantle and crust to slow down. The frictional heating at the core mantle boundary would be unimaginably immense and would likely cause explosive volcanic cataclysms punching their way to the surface causing eruptions beyond anything we've ever seen. Of course by that time the surface would have been pretty much wiped out by the earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami's (and storms. But that primary volcanism from the frictional contact at the core mantle boundary, would take some time to erupt to the surface from so far below, and when it did the heat and blast released from the escaping magma plumes would possibly melt the mantle, and eventually the crust and surface too, perhaps converting the planet into an ocean of lava, but ... of course I'm speculating. It would take a sophisticated computer physics model to predict what would likely happen physics wise. Whatever took place though, it would certainly be spectacular!

    Brief Summary: If the Earth were to suddenly stop rotating for a few seconds, the abrupt change in its motion would have significant effects. Objects on the surface would experience a massive jolt due to the sudden deceleration, likely causing widespread destruction. The atmosphere would continue moving at its original speed, leading to extreme winds that could result in substantial damage. Additionally, ocean currents would be disrupted, causing chaotic weather patterns and potential tsunamis. The consequences of such an event would be severe and far-reaching.

    I like how they say that the winds and the water would blow everything away. Like if it really would need that to destroy everything. I mean, even without all of that, everything would be destroyed. If you are driving a car about 60 km/h and it suddently stops, you are sent flying of it if you're not wearing seat belt. Imagine everything on the surface, about the equator, going in 1600 km'h and than suddently the surface stops.. the ground is sent flying away with everything in it. You wouldn't need wind or water to destroy anything.

      If you read about the end of the world in Islam, there will be 30 years of total day, and followed by another 30 years of total darkness then the sun will rise from its sunset, in this moment those who did not believe in Allah the creator except when they saw that will not benefit from changing their minds . If you try to explain this prophecy, this simply means that the earth will gradually stop spinning in 60 years then it will reverse its spinning direction. Which looks logical for a planet.

    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.

      A slow & smooth halt would probably not do us any harm because it’s a gradual slow down rather than a sudden stop
