Would you sleep in this earthquake-proof bed? It senses when an earthquake is happening and drops you into a safe metal chamber. Yes, we know how ridiculous this looks. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Because we're about to experience the most powerful earthquake in history, a magnitude 20. How much damage would it cause?
Would it break our planet into pieces? And what could cause such a massive earthquake?

on that Day the earth will recount everything,

Can you imagine being inside that earthquake bed and something fell on top of it, trapping you inside !?
I feel “earthquake bed” is just another way to say “coffin”
My first thought was that only lol
nah, but i can imagine not sleeping in the middle of it and it will just throw me on the ground instead of throwing me into the metal box :DDDDD
Yeah imagine that bed just falling down the earthquake pit 🤣

I don't know what is worse: being killed by an earthquake in my sleep or waking up in a big metal box shut tight under a heavy structure!
Dying in your 💤 sounds good to me
When i die i want to be in my bed so that i would not know that i die
@@letacaesar9220 but there is an afterlife
😩 " That metal box, in all likelihood, would have the opposite effect and ' seal your fate ' . Should heavier debris fall upon it, those inside would be crushed or trapped inside with limited air to breath and no escape. In essence, face the horror of being ' buried alive ' . Should an inferno engulf it, that box would quickly heat up like an oven. History is filled with the fallacy of bogus safety ' proof ' claims that resulted in unexpected death tolls because of undisclosed flaws. "

Oooo La La
Man that metalbedbox seems really helpful! Instead of dying when the building collapses, you can now survive falling down into a huge cravass opening up in the earth's crust and die horrified and slowly at groundlevel of a 300m+ deep bottom of a newly formed canyon! Nice!
Or debris could fall on top of you and you'd be trapped for hours or days until rescue arrives.
@@KtotheG Not sure if you missed the 300m+ deep cravass you are stuck in. Debris might actually crush you then and kill you instead of dying scared shitless and over hours possibly days with no help arriving coz until anyone has figured out you are that deep in the earth...well...and then getting someone out of such a spot might not even be possible at all as well...

I have a feeling that earthquake-proof bed could be problematic. It could sense a lot of "earthquakes" due to other sources of shaking. I'll leave it at that
When he said except for that... asteroid enters the scene. It came out perfectly. I got goosebumps 😅
My favorite part:
For the power of this earthquake, to destroy the planet, it would need to overcome something called the "gravitational binding energy".
Which describes the minimum value a spherical and uniform object needs to keep together under the influence of gravity.
Now, we won't get into specific values here because we don't want to make things any more complicated, so we'll leave it at this:

"You are entering a new world-a world of environmental change, a world of violent weather, a world that is unpredictable, a world that will be unbalanced, with great political and economic difficulties. Nations will be shaken by revolution, and national economies will fail. It is the outcome of many forces at work that have been at work for some time. The wise can foresee this. For everyone else, it will be a great shock-the shock of the future. Do not look upon this as a great tragedy or something to avoid, neglect or deny, for this has your name upon it. You were sent into the world to serve the world under these conditions."
A quote from *The New World* book by Marshall Vian Summers, available free online.
