- 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?

When was the last time you felt the earth spinning? Ppl are so indoctrinated they can't even think for themselves anymore. The earth is absolutely flat and motionless. Get over it. The location of the stars in the sky tells you all you need to know. Year round we see the same exact stars in the same exact place. You science buffs need to get your head out of the clouds.

Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it.
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.
Venturing into the bitcoin without an adequate orientation with a professional broker for accurate signals, you might lose all your hard-earned money
Binary trading is a good and reliable way of building wealth which also create opportunities for crypto Believers.
You see in trading cryptocurrency, one requires more than just a primary knowledge of crypto. It is best to trade with an expert to avoid unnecessary losses. It's advisable to have a professional trader/broker who is an expert in the field to help you manage your account.
I'm into Real Estate, but I took the decision to invest in the Crypto market and have been getting good returns on my investments. The market is also an effective way to grow wealth.
That was genuinely the most interesting video I have ever watched
Everyone would go hertling at 1,000 mph
that fast? You sure?
Actually it would be much faster than that . It would be equal to speed of earth rotation around it's axis .

@@rottenapple_ well last one is destined .
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.
Hold on tight? That would become difficult once your arms get violently ripped off, that is if you're still alive to experience it.

I love what if. I answer all my science questions from these ;)
Just popped up in my recommended list this morning. I'm familiar with the channel and I love it. On a chance click I discovered that at 2 minutes and 37 seconds is a clip from inside a house suffering destruction from the derecho that we suffered last year. 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"!
5:17 LOL
Lol
Wonder what she was trying to say
So basically, y’all would fly & die, I would survive.
This is an underrated channel fr.
I was hoping you'd cover a sudden instant halt as well as a gradual one
that what i was about to comment
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.
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.
But according to flat Earthers, we're not spinning. According to their perspective of science, everything revolves around us...........
@@skylerallens theyre dumb
…..what???
@@skylerallens What do flat earthers have to do with this?
but what about the gravity

Love how you mentioned the wind... but not how you and every object around you is still moving at ~1000mph. The wind wouldn't kill you, but you slamming into the nearest object would turn you into a puddle.
Now... What would happen if the earth decelerated to a stop??
Still the water coming over the whole plate will kill us
Thats for another what if
Actually the force of you moving would probably kill you
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.
are you certain a 1000mph wind won't cut you to ribbons?
What if the earth had a firmament, and was established on pillars, was completely unmoving, and the sun, moon, and stars moved overhead in a rotation? Oh wait….
Let God be true, and every man a liar. The biggest deception of them all was to make everyone believe in the globe, planets, infinite space, and aliens. To make a creator non-existent. This deception is still strong on the non-critical thinkers.
Wrong channel 😅🤣🤣
This video is hilarious, so the earth spinning is why the wind is not greater.
5:33 whether it came to a halt or not, we already had an event that caused this exact same kind of damage and more, back in the younger dryas, meaning, and it seems it has happened before...meaning we might be a few years, a few centuries, or perhaps a little below 2000 years before it happens again.
Fun fact: The earth's rotation is slowing down everyday, just VERY slowing
We already know that from what if channel -_-
That is because of the poles shifting. Eventually it may happen but not in our lifetime. And when it does may God help them. One day the Earth may have an opposite rotation. The Sun came up in the West and sat in the East until Noahs Flood. After the Flood is when the Sun rose in the East and now sets in the West.
@@arthurzettel6618 Oh I didn't know that , thank you for the info
@@arthurzettel6618 it’s also because the moon is drifting away from us about 3 centimeters per year
@@arthurzettel6618 u mean us
depends on how quick it stops spinning tbh, if its an abrupt stop then sure but if it slows down into a stop over a period of time then the damage wouldn't be as bad.
If the flat earth stop spinning
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.
It doesn't spin, so it wouldn't need to stop... If it actually did spin, all of this is exactly what we'd experience constantly.
@@AwakenedAvocado The earth is not flat. 🤡

👍🏾💯 Great video
5:15 was the funniest thing I've seen all day. was that clip supposed to be intimidating lol
Why did I think of the band one direction when he said one direction.😥😥 1:08
Maybe make a part 2 to this: What if the earth slowly stopped and then started rotating the opposite way (so it wouldn't be an instant stop but a slow down, stopped for five seconds, and then started rotating the opposite way).
Ok but *what if* it stopped spinning very gradually like very slowly until it stopped completely and started spinning in opposite direction. I'm curious as to the changes earth and its inhabitants would go through then. Please do cover this topic~
What if? Literally what if the earth was reversed on it axis? Would this be considered time travel??
No
@@bansheeofinisheerin 😂😂
After watching what if series from 2018, now i can use a new motto in my life.
"I will try new things in my life for 5 minutes"
I always wondered what would our surroundings look like if we have microscopic eyesight.
Probably very ugly and gross.
Or maybe not. We'd probably clean up more, since we would see the germs.
Big
This is the content I need, stoned at 3am 😂
This would actually make a good disaster movie. Obviously they won't be super scientifically accurate (because when are they?) but I don't think I've seen this as a reason for a disaster in a movie yet. Earthquakes, volcanos, another ice age, tornadoes, something from space, it's all been done and redone.
What about the planets gaining sentience and attempting to engage in martial combat with each other? "Planet Mecha."
4:20 This poor guy is going to be tired of running in each and every video of "What If ".
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? 🤔
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.
@@bdb3350 I think the air near the ground would get dragged by the (now stationary) Earth, setting up huge vortices which would then propagate through the atmosphere and toss a plane around like a leaf. I don’t think you’d be safe.
Like a car wreck. Lmfao ... So not gonna happen.
@@bdb3350 haha yeah I guess there's a lot of veriables, but makes sense with the altitude change, thanks for your brain stemina

A question I've never asked myself but now need to know
The random voice inflection and overemphasis on random words kills this
Now, what if the Earth stopped rotating for 1 nanosecond? Would it be largely the same?
I guess if u think about it? But it wouldn't be that strong like what if explained in this vid.
Imagine Earth stopping from 1500 km/h to 0 back to 1500 km/h lml we done bro
We’re gonna be finished
@@CookiiBoii 😂😂😂
The same thing as if we were teleported into the sun for 1 nanosecond, nothing
Will that really be able to happen in 5 seconds
Feels like a fever dream
How long will it go on for just after 5 seconds
Earth can be truly terrifying
But not as terrifying as people
Yess...try to think of it like a bus that's travelling at high speeds and suddenly brakes...you barely have a a moment to process before you get thrown off your seat...and now imagine what would happen if the earth brakes suddenly esp travelling with an extremely high speed and the large mass it has
Pretty sure it’s scarier than people mate
Since the Earth is about 24,901 miles in circumference, and the escape velocity is just about 25, 000 Miles per hour, the rotational speed at the equator is about 1,037.5 Miles pr hour. likely not much. there would be some damage, but not nearly as if the Earth's rotational speed matched it's circumference, or vice versa the circumference matched the equatorial rotational speed, things would certainly get thrown around if it stopped rotating, for a period greater than 5 seconds.
Wish you have also included mph, very few in the USA have any clue what kilometer speeds equate to
the captions include a translation from kpm to mph
Hello @What If
I just love each and every video of yours. Very informative and Engaging.
If possible make a video on "What If Earth starts rotating in other way (ACW)"
Thank you! We've already made an episode covering that topic. You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/zC0a-HYCvsM/видео.html

please be joking
@@rogithkumar3508 it's not moving. That's just from indoctrination. Want to test it on your own? Throw a ball straight up in the air, if it lands in the same spot and not miles away, we aren't moving 1000mph..

What if the earth stop spinning for 5 seconds?
Short Answer: We die
Long Answer: This entire video
What about the momentum everything had while spinning?
Wouldn't everything on its own fly away very laaaarge distances?
I think gravity prevents that
@@randomdudeontheinternet5901 if you are sitting in a vehical moving at 100km/h imagine what happens when it suddenly stops?
By default it will push you forward with great force
And earth's moving with roughly 1000miles per hour
Gravity will not be able to prevent that
The horizontal distance to be covered before getting up in the atmosphere is such that all objects will have decelerated to rest before covering even 1/5 of it.
I think it depends on how fast the planet slowed to a stop. On a dime, yeah, crap would move a lot lol. If it slowly came to a halt like a train, probably not so much.
@@buffalokay it said stopped🙀

Something like this happens in a short story by HG Wells. Its called "The Man Who Could Work Miracles." The description is absolutely terrifying
good material. another topic might to consider..."what if the earth spin in reverse direction"
Hard to imagine the Earth established itself to perfectly support life and continually maintain the proper order of ordinance.
It didn't a trillion times over and won't again another trillion times, we just happen to be able to exist on the Earth the time it did, lucky us???? No we think that cause we are here, to others we are lucky, to us this is our existence.

👏🏼
😁✌
Crazy how So much can happen in 5 seconds
This study just goes to show how perfectly God created the earth. He really knew what He was doing.
Well this depends, if earth comes to a gradual halt and then starts to gradually pick up speed back in rotation, then this is what will happen for sure. But if it were to stop suddenly and then get back similar, it'll be just as if your skipped a beat
no.

nice original comment buddy kudos to you, sad somebody claimed it as their own
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!
no the water and wind will continue to move due to momentum...grab a glass of water filled to the top, start spinning and then either stop abrutly or gradually, at the very end or near it of the spin, the water that was carried by momentum will spilly over that glass or bowl, the edges are the shorelines, the space outside the glass is us standing on the ground...guess what happens next.
The fact is, the stuff shown in the video is exactly what we'd experience constantly if the Earth was in fact a spinning globe...
@@rap1df1r3*sigh* being on earth is essentially like being in a sealed bus going 60mph. You can get up and walk around on the bus and unless the bus comes to a sudden stop its not gonna effect you at all hell you can even jump up and down on the bus. Jump out of the bus and its gonna hurt.

@@arkryder1421 "being on earth is essentially like being in a sealed bus going 60mph." - You do realize that a bus is a closed system, while the Earth is claimed to be an open system, so they're fundamentally different, right?
@@rap1df1r3 when was the earth ever classified as an open system? We literally have layers that protect us from tons of outside forces. Like solar radiation for example. If we were an open system everything on this planet would be dead in an instant.

That would be the longest 5 seconds after 5 seconds ad of RUclips :)
When you sum up all the forces acting on every single one of us that alone makes you stop and think. We are moving on Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun. The solar system is on orbit around the milky way. The milky way is also moving.
Each of these movements are our equilibrium right now and yet they are immensely fast from a stationary bystander's perspective.
And yet on a calm day water lays completely flat ... nature doesn't lie about the motion of earth!
Weird to think just bc your moving relative to a cart on a Rollercoaster doesn't mean you can't feel it change directions and speed..
For the heliocentric model clearly states we are moving in an elliptical orbit chasing the sun moving faster then mock 88 ...
@@mrsam9206 water also ALWAYS seeks and maintains it's own level. The sky (ether) rotates above us. By this I mean the constellations, the sun, the moon, and of course the other light sources that we call planets. It is almost as if the sky above us were some sort of clock... a sky clock that long, long, ago was used to tell the people the time of day, month, and even the year. It still does to this day, but we have advanced with our use of calendars, of course. So basically, the earth allegedly rotates while flying through the universe, yet the constellations remain exactly the same even after thousands of years. Funny how that works.

What if videos be like: "what if the temperature on Earth decreased by 0.000001 degrees for a milisecond"
*Five minutes later*
"Entire skyscrapers would collapses, tornadoes would start forming worldwide, and the Earth would start to crack into two"
I seem to recall an old black & movie I saw when I was a kid. The world stopped spinning and a massive wave of wind surged through the cities demolishing everything. I was maybe 5 years old and it was so surreal on an old Black & White TV in Stoughton Massachusetts.
I'll remember this video for my next primary school assignment.
The Earth spins on axis once every 23 hours and 47 minutes. The 24 hour day is solar noon to solar noon, which requires more than 360 degrees of spin to account for motion along it's orbital path to bring the Sun back to directly overhead.
56 minutes and 4 seconds.
It’s impossible for the earth to experience this much damage in just 5 seconds. Come on. I agree we might suffer
you have no idea💀
LOL sit down
Cities would collapse tho
Five seconds can seem like a short time but someone can die within for seconds
Lmao you need to study more in school
Me remembering all those tornado scenes 😂😂
I would love to hear the what ifs for the below scenarios:
• If all gasoline operated vehicles stopped running for 1 day.
• If 50% of today’s technology didn’t exist.
I think you forgot to take inertia into this equation. At the equator everything spins at 1666 kilometers per hour. Not only everything on it. But the crust and mantle too. AN incredible amount of mass moving at a high speed coming to an abrupt stop (stop spinning)
That would tear the world apart. It would be highly energetic.
at the POLE of the earth and i mean THE POLE, would everything be the same? Technically the ends of the Earth don't rotate
@@aaditnoronha5383 I think the poles would be forced outward and then inward. Bouncing so violently that it emits jets of matter high into the stratosphere slowly turning into a spiral eventually forming a ring around the earth.
What if tornado never exists?
Very interesting 🤔
It’s hard to believe that a huge coincidence happened making the earth and its moon making it able to support life
1:19 Why is Earth bigger than the Sun?
The sun is a giant star
its not
Wouldn’t the escape velocity needed change as well if the earth stopped? I always heard we’d just be ejected if something like that happened
The most important part is that the spinning of earth neutralizes the gravitational force of earth to some extent. If spinning stops the gravitational force will increase proportionately.
That would be crazy. The Earth rotates at one thousand miles an hour. And to come to a complete stop suddenly, would really mess things up for us. Things would be extremely out of whack, and nature would probably never be able to repair itself, at least for a mighty long time. It is crazy when you actually think about all the motion that we are experiencing at all times. 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...
Ohhhh this makes sense
@@ryateo1 Something that orbits earth is not free from earth's gravitational field. Gravitational force acts as the centripetal force, needed to change the direction of that something at each moment to maintain an orbital path. Centrifugal force does not exist in reality..right.
Futher away from earths field of gravitation, no orbital motion is possible.
Similarly somthing standing on the surface of earth (near equator say) can also be considered in a orbital path around earth's centre. But the velocity is much smaller than what is needed to maintain revolution at that radius. Without the earths surface we would have drifted towards the centre or core of earth.
This is school stuff...
@@ryateo1 satellites are not kept in orbit by using centrifugal force. I told u already that centrifugal force does not exist. The velocity of satellites decrease over time due to friction with space particles and rarified atmosphere gases. They loose orbit in the process or tends to fall off. Ignition is applied to increase the velocity to the previous level.
Well u talked of train, atmosphere, satellites, moon, rockets......but what is your point exactly.
I don't have any question...I have made a statement already in the beginning.
@@ryateo1 I beg to state that I don't understand what u r trying to make me believe in the first place.
Anyway nice talking to u about physics and the mystries of deep space.
But what if it creeped slowly to a smooth halt? Like easing on the breaks? Then very slowly and smoothly started its rotation again? I'm sure things would still suck but would they be as devastating?
A slow & smooth halt would probably not do us any harm because it’s a gradual slow down rather than a sudden stop
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.
This happened at the end of H. G. Wells' 1898 story "The Man Who Could Work Miracles".
The water wouldn't have time to really begin moving towards the poles and then back in 5 seconds. I think the main effect would be much like the wind, in that the water is currently moving with the earth's rotation speed. If the earth was to stop for a few seconds the water would initially continue to move with the earth's normal rotation speed, triggering massive tsunamis on one side of continents, and massive water retreat on the other side. After the 5 seconds and initial displacement of the water, it would return to its original state, causing tsunamis on the other side of continents as well.
Can you make a video "What if earth gradually stops and start spinning?" It's obvious that if it stops suddenly then it would be a disaster ..

yeah... 1600mph winds and the fastest tornado was clocked around 300mph.
It's safe to say 1600 mph winds would completely destroy everything.
Well that’s cheered me up on a cold Sunday morning in 🇬🇧😂😂😂👍🏻
Fun fact: Watching this video we've forgets that all this will happen in just 5 seconds
Wow just for 5 seconds causes a lot a damage
And what if the earth would decelerate slowly to zero, so that not such sudden strong forces of a sudden stop occur?
The water would still flood the northern and southern hemispheres
It already is at zero speed...
