    Or what if the orbit stayed the same but if we slowed down Earth's rotation a little to where everyone would have more time each day than just 24 hours. Like if the rotation slowed down to where there were 48 hours each day and it was rotating half speed? Maybe that could make our lives easier who knows.

    Excellent video. Just a small correction, according to the doppler effect the frequency is reduced rather than increased unless and until the observer is moving towards the star which also happens so technically not only light will be shifted to x-rays, but also infrared. Also another effect would be more dark matter detections

    it would not take infinite energy to move something with infinite mass if there is nothing to slow it down. if there is no force against it a single nutant will accelerate an object no matter how heavy because if nothing slows it down it will continue to move at the speed of light and if a single nutant will add force to the object it will speed up.

  • @aexetanius
    @aexetanius Год назад +1

    If Earth orbited the Sun at the speed of light, it would have several significant consequences, many of which would make life on our planet impossible.
    First of all, it's important to note that nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light, according to the theory of relativity. So, the premise of this question is not physically possible.
    However, let's assume for the sake of discussion that it were possible. If Earth were traveling at the speed of light, it would be moving at approximately 299,792,458 meters per second, or about 670,616,629 miles per hour. At this speed, Earth's mass would increase infinitely, according to the theory of relativity, making it impossible for the planet to maintain a stable orbit around the Sun.
    Additionally, the fast movement of the Earth would cause significant time dilation effects, where time would appear to slow down for an observer on the planet. This would mean that time would be passing much more slowly on Earth than it would be for someone observing from outside the solar system.
    Moreover, the speed of light is incredibly fast, and traveling at that speed would mean that Earth would be bombarded with an enormous amount of energy. This would likely cause catastrophic damage to the planet's surface and atmosphere, making it uninhabitable.
    In summary, if it were somehow possible for Earth to orbit the Sun at the speed of light, it would likely result in the planet being destroyed and life as we know it being impossible.

  • @jonathanjobickson9483
    @jonathanjobickson9483 Год назад

    According to science it's impossible for any object to leave the earth because it has its own gravity aka gravity pull, if the earth spins around the sun that means the pull of the sun and other planets closer to the sun would effect its movement and its pull to the sun including the moon. Along with the pull the moon has in relationship to the earth. Which makes it damn near impossible to make it to the moon with the speed the earth moves. Yet alone land on the earth from any outer orbits from it because the pull from the sun. If the earth can go out of orbit because of the sun's gravity pull. Then any object going out of the earth's orbit especially it being smaller than the earth would be effected by the speed if the earth around the sun and the moon gravity it would make it impossible to send any ship or hubble to space with signal ( its hard to get signal in the woods on earth) yet alone land any object on the moon and back to earth.😊
