"What Happens If Earth Suddenly Stops Rotating?"
simple answer: we die.
@@JustARandomStickFigure I swear I didn't see it
Simple answer: Y E E T 💀
@@JustARandomStickFigure If it makes you feel any better, I scrolled quite a bit and didn't see your comment either. It's not like everyone reads every single comment that's ever been posted before making their own comment. On top of that, TH-cam's comment system is absolute garbage anyway, making it very difficult to find anything. It's entirely plausible that they never saw your comment. And even if they had, I've seen the "basic answer: we die" on quite a few videos so far, so one could say the same about your comment. Not me, because I believe there's room on the internet for the same comment to appear more than once. And that's OK.
Short answer: you die. Long answer: you definitely die
@@WarrenGarabrandti aint readin all that!

Kurzgesagt shorts are so relaxing
The translation makes this comment better
“Shorts are relaxing” boring
“In short, shorts are relaxing” scholarly
I like the translated comment better
OH....THE TRANSLATION IS LIKE THE WORDS OF WISDOM DIRECTLY COMING FROM THE MOUTH OF A PHILOSOPHER.
Dam i never knew that word meant “in short”
"Short answer you die."
-Most Kurzgesagt videos
glad someone finally said it 😂
That be bad for economy-
"Short answer you die"
-Most short videos
Translated version
Most short videos true
"Long answer, we die horribly."

@@Trigorastronomologyprobably crash into a wall
Wheatley: What are they up to?
@@TrigorastronomologyIf you are in an area that was rotating, and was part of the earth, yes. All of the earth stopped, and the crust isn't like a spinning part while the stuff below stays still
Kurzgesagt is one of the only channels that can explain the process of a swift and brutal mass-extintion-level event in a way that sounds relaxing
“Space. Space. We’re in space. There’s a star. There’s another star. Getting bored of space. Want to go home. SPAAAAAAACE”

Y'know what's weird, it's almost danm near impossible to imagine him doing everyday tasks like gaming, talking, ect because his voice is so elegant
It’s funny to imagine someone standing on one of the poles and then just start spinning
I love that my algorithm is trained to kurzgesagt so the new shorts just immediately pop up in my recommended and I can watch them the second they come out without even getting a notification
Wow. Or maybe it's just that popular and people like me watch it immediately when it pops up in my feed reader (bot)

@@Patrick-zr8tvbro wth
@@TheOutlook-irsirs601 what
I feel like a sudden movement on that scale would force the Earth's crust itself to function like a liquid. In fact, it probably would cause immense thermal energy to build up, melting the surface.
Alternative idea: What if the earth decelerated spinning to a stop in 24 hours? That would change the short term consequences a bit
I like how Wheatley just chills there in space
You sure it's Chilling?
You have a minor case of severe brain damage
@@The_Chaos_EngineerIt’s -453.8 degrees Fahrenheit in space (-270.45 Celsius).
Wheatley is indeed chilling.
@@CloverBlastyes

Short Answer: we would die
Long Answer: we would die but the Earth would be an egg
The earth is still an egg
This was already put in a full documentary in Nat.Geo channel years ago called Aftermath: When the Earth Stops Spinning.
You should look at it. I know though that some of it accounts are a bit outdated than in comparison with our advanced data today. It still a good look of what happened to our planet when put in this perilous situation. It doesn't mean the end of all life and human civilization. It would be just adapting into a new world.
@@rogueascendant6611blud just copy pasted the same comment on 3 comments lol
@@rogueascendant6611
I feel like getting tossed across a continent at over 1000km/h would kill most people tho 😅
@@joeisdudeearth is flat
Wheatley casually wandering around Earth watching us die
If you are standing perfectly on one of the poles, Would you just spin around at insane speeds?
Yes. At the insane speed of a single rotation every 24 hours to be exact.
@@ymiros0953 well no shit. But like if the planet stopped spinning you would still carry its inertia. So you would spin around stupid fast right?
@@LocalCrusader That is all the inertia you have there though. The earth is rotating really slowly, it's only so fast at the equator because it's so giant
Casually the avengers tower just chilling in the background 😂
I love how wheatly is just chilling
As a diehard Portal fan
that little Wheatley cameo just filled my soul with glee from top to bottom
Same man same
Same here
Omg same I love the game and kurzgezat
yes@@AidenWheeler-hc6cg
Same
That’s sounds like a cool plot for a nuclear survival game
Kurgesagt is the type of person to use “12,024” on a calendar
Wheatley: "Just chilling in space until the rest of time. Oh hey! The earth is dying!"
I love the Portal reference😂
Soniiiiiiic *screaming kiddo in glasses*
If the earth stopped rotating we would all scream in agonizing pain.
Imagine living a year but that year was always daytime.
Wheatley just watches it all happen
First
@@FearshowerSecond
I mean what else can he do?
You forgot that we all immediately die of being yeeted at 1600 km/h (This is a joke not legitimate criticism plz don’t take too seriously as there are some nuances)
Yep, i was thinking about that too 🤔🤨
unless ur underground or at the poles
Yeah you forgot to watch the full video
It’s a joke, I am well aware that the equator is rotating the fastest at 1600 km/h and everything is moving relative to you however you could possibly that you would hit something such as terrain or literally anything else and you would become a human pancake. I watched the full video multiple times and possibly I made that it was a joke unclear, I’ll keep this in mind for the future. Thank you so much for your insightful feedback, I wish you all the best in the future!!
@@lennonmclean If you are underground you would just be “yeeted” into underground terrain, cave wall etc. So you would still die but thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
It doesn’t sound like much will happen until you realize that the earth is rotating at a speed of 994 miles per hour (1600 kilometers per hour)
But what if, hear me out, we *don't* stop the rotation of earth?
The relaxing voice actor has become a brand for kurzgesagt
Me re-watching and staring at the Avengers tower completely ignoring what kind of dangers I've just been reminded of
this is like what happens when you spin around really fast and release an object
Why my man Wheatley still drifting in space
Kurzgezsagt people are smart, maybe they'll figure out a way to get him back eventually.
because that's what happened
The flora and fauna on an earth like this would be crazy
@@rogueascendant6611what the hell are you talking about? Everything on the planet suddenly talking off at roughly 1000 mph? Some people in airplanes might survive. And birds. You should really go watch this video, not just the short. The tsunamis would be so tall and moving so fast they would sweep everything not on a mountain away. It's a pretty grim outlook for people. Shit. Even the winds it would generate, again at roughly 1000 mph, would toss most airplanes right out of the sky.
@@philbert006 Which I did say the documentary is outdated. Neither confirming it as fact at all. Next time do read than ranting your in-depth knowledge.
@@rogueascendant6611 ironically enough, I got the notification for your reply whilst watching their video about a supervolcano erupting. Spoiler: we all die.
The wheatley addition made me laugh
Sonic just speeding past on the 1,800 miles thing or something
*Huge thanks to the camera man for stopping earth from rotating, going to space then record it just for a TH-cam short* 🗿
that sonic looks cursed

Basically, if the earth stopped earthing, we would die.
Earth: Wanted to know what it’s like to break the sound barrier as a normal human?
Earth: Let me just hit the brakes!
Kurzgesagt: It won't happen.
Me with severe anxiety issues 💀
It's not going to happen. The Earths' mass and angular momentum are so stupidly huge that not even the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago slowed down the Earths' rotation.
@@Weerknuffelbeer no shit sherlock. It was sarcasm
You literally copied another comment WORD FOR WORD
@@markynouf126 I commented it before him
Nobody saw Wheatley floating across the bottom of the screen?!
everyone saw that
New fear unlocked: staying at home until earth stops rotating
This just gave me an amazing idea for theoretical world that doesn't have rotation where the creatures have to constantly live on the edge of the Sun
Wheatley: Hey bro hows life?
the smoothness of that loop gave me goosebumps, ty.
Oh god, Wheatley escaped Portal 2, and now he's in Kurzgesagt!
congrats, you made a washing machine
This channel is like an education channel and an ASMR channel had an child
kurzgesagt: explaining a event that might happen but has a very slim chance to
wheatley: AY AY! OVER HERE
the day the earth stood still...
Fun fact: because the atmosphere moves with you, you wouldn’t feel wind. It would be more like the ground beneath you becomes an unimaginably fast treadmill as you either fly into a mountain and splatter or fly off the earth
i strongly advise you to put down your phone and go outside instead of watching flatearthers
@@DrDroneywho said anything about flat earth
@@peeperleviathan2839 mayhaps misunderstood the comment, mb
Kurzgesagt is better than any science teacher
It's true 🎉🎉🎉😅😅
I don't think that's true. But they certainly make science increasingly interesting!
Their space 🚀🚀🚀 science is too much nice
These Kurzgesagt shorts are just the scientific shower thoughts we have every now and again. And I love it
You know it's a fun time when they say "Not ONLY will the buildings be flying..."
Imagine being a random Astronaut and seeing a floating Ball starting to talk to you about how a weird ass AI casually became a Potato becuz of him and then somehow becoming the AI again and sending him to Space like that
legends say that wheatley is still plotting to get back to earth
Thank you for rotating, Earth.
Ah, 6 months of Texan Summer and 6 months of Antarctic winter
the poles would just be one of those spinning memes
Q: What if Earth Suddenly Stops Rotating ?
A: We get "The RED LINE".
I read this in a book once, the answer was...
"We would all die, THEN things would get interesting"
Earth:stops rotating
Everything:✌️
There was a book on this subject but the earths rotation slowed instead of stopped altogether and you got to see the effects happen over time. It was actually a pretty good book.
This puts a heavier weight on the motivational quote
"Don't worry, the world won't stop spinning"
This question deserves a full video
The tsunami beside the avengers tower
“Avengers assemble!”
basically we're gonna see skyscrapers. literally.
my heart only spins for you kurzgesagt
If your heart spins
Holy shit you need that checked out right away
@@markynouf126yeah that is a bit of a problem isn't it?
why is your heart spinning
I really like how this shorts contain so many details and fun info. Love it guys
Vector, Wheatley, and that one Minion: “skill issue”
POV: you pause an online game
Buckle up guys. This is gonna be tough.
Kurzgesagt: This won't happen.
8yo Kids: 💀
?
Now imagine if earth totally stopped instead, no rotation, no orbit around the sun anymore and the galaxy, i'm pretty sure stuff would be flinged off the planet
So if you were standing on one of the poles you’d just become dizzy for a moment
Today's Fact: In 2021, a team of physicists discovered a new type of particle that is simultaneously matter and antimatter, a breakthrough that could lead to new types of quantum computing.
Where did you get this fact? I don’t think reproduced evidence has been shown for these particles yet.
[citation needed]
Can you elaborate on this?
well, photons are their own antiparticle...that's why light bulbs can make them with emitting "anti-light". But no: there's no new particle.
