The idea of being launched at 1000 miles per hour is inconceivable.

Don’t worry guys if this ever happens I’ll fix it. 👍

It’s actually quite scary to think about how fragile our lives are.

I was worried until I saw a Tesla Cyber Truck flying past and realized the narrator must be talking about this happening millions of years in the future. 😂

15:58 That's not why leap years happen. Leap years happen because the year is not 365 days long, but 365.24 days. As that .24 is close to .25, multiply .25 x 4 and you get 1, which is the extra day every 4 years. (That extra 0.01 is dealt with every 400 years. Most people don't know that the year 2000 was special--years ending in "00" are actually not leap years unless it is a multiple of 400. As such, the year 2100 will not be a leap year. The next century leap year will be the year 2400.) As for the 23 hours and 56 minutes: That is the sidereal rotation of Earth--the time it takes for Earth to rotate so that a single point on Earth returns to point to the same stars. Basically, the time it takes for the Earth to actually rotate. Our 24-hour day is the solar rotation of Earth--the time it takes to rotate so that a single point on Earth returns to point to the Sun (aka noon). Those extra four minutes for the Sun to reach solar noon again come from the Earth's orbital movement, as the Earth moves about one degree around the Sun every day, making it take longer.

The Infographics Show makes documentaries on random topics so interesting. Appreciate the hard work. 👍

props to the camera man for travelling to an alternate universe where the earth stopped spinning to get this footage.

Thx 4 sharing. I like hownu go from full details and show it too. Plz keep doing that all the time.

I keep seeing things about "what if the Earth suddenly stopped", what I'd love to see is a show like this showing what it would be like if the Earth were to slowly (but still incredibly rapidly in geologic scales, say over a decade) come to a stop. It would be interesting to think of how we would cope with that, given that we wouldn't be immediately wiped out by catastrophic events from a sudden stop.

A small oversight is that living in the twilight zone would also be impossible. With a temperature gradient of ~200°C from the sun side to the night side, there'd be massive storms raging over the surface, making living on the surface practically impossible.

As a nurse, I havent had a normal circadian rhythm in 30 years. I have worked 12 hour day shifts and nightshifts for that long including my navy military service. I have lived with "jet-lag" every day since day one. According to this video, I am well equipped to survive as not only do I thrive with odd time living, I have lived in the arctic for 25 years. I am TOTALLY used to 6 months of darkness at super-low temps. 😂😂 Combined with my arsenal and survival/medical skills....bring it on

Trivia: To date, the strongest wind ever recorded on earth due to natural processes was 318 +/- mph. It was measured by a mobile doppler radar attached to the back of a truck. The wind speed was identified to be within an F5 tornado in or around Bridge Creek, OK on 05/03/1999. It is one of the most famous weather events on record. The photos of the damage it did in housing additions that were hit dead-on by the center of the tornado is scary. Nothing left. No debris. No homes. No cars. Just pieces of concrete slab foundations. I can’t imagine what 1,000mph wind would do.

This reminded me of a super awsome 30 minute time-lapse of the universes life by melody sheep.I highly recommended to anyone,also great vid infographics 👍

Imagine two civilizations growing in each side of the twilight zone and not really knowing about each other.

It would be interesting for you to do a video on what if the earth reversed its rotation.

They didn't mention that the moon is slowly spiralling away from the Earth. As it gets further away the influence it has is reduced. Tides will get less noticeable and the rotation of the Earth will eventually even out. This means that there will be a time when the days won't be getting longer.

But the moon is also getting further away from the Earth every year, so the gravitational pull of the moon slowing down the spin of the Earth will be weaker over millions of years.

"We all take earth's rotation for granted" well yeah of course, what else can we do, we can't control it 🙄

Really didn’t need this in my recommended while I’m having a relaxing Sunday evening.

Fun video. You had me with the first jolt. I personally think the inner core would continue spinning and get us up to speed eventually. You covered almost everything but I wondered how stopping the crust of earth would affect the moon? Would it be flung away like a hurler his mace?

“Even if you're only referring the "ordinary" matter (such as stars, gas, and bicycles) and dark matter, the mass of the observable Universe does increase, not because mass is being created, but because the size of the observable universe increases.”

Given that the Earth's circumference is 40,075 km at the equator, to keep in the twilight zone you'd need to travel 110 km every day.

Just so everyone knows, winds have been recorded on earth at over 350 mph which was the catastrophic tornado that ripped through tornado valley. There was also a hurricane last year in Florida which recorded over 165 mph sustained winds

Category 5 hurricanes regularly have winds over 150 mph, and the fastest recorded wind speed ever recorded was the Moore tornado in 1999. 318 mph.

Sounds like a really good movie

When a man tells a woman he’s thinking about “nothing” he’s actually working out “I wonder what would happen if the earth just stopped?” Lol

I love your videos keep up the good work

They say this won’t happen in my lifetime but I’m still paranoid

One thing… While the oceans would reposition because of the lack of centrifugal force, so would the liquid mantle under the continental plates. Theoretically, the land masses at the poles would rise as well, but who knows what they’d look like given the massive amount of movement from the plates

Alternate title: The Day the Earth Stopped.

Ok core just stoped now what

It's kind of crazy how perfect the world is in order to sustain life.

This is a DEVASTATINGLY interesting subject. Great vid

Hi I love the ”What if” type of videos. Meke more of them please!👍

Great video! 👍

It has little to do with the vacuum of space not creating enough friction to be able to slow down the spin of the earth.. AS MUCH as it has to do with the sheer momentum that an object the mass of the earth has in its spin to begin with, orbital dynamics considered.

Next video do : how earth got water

We’re believers ! We relay in our creator .

Such upbeat positive videos.

My toxic trait is thinking I could survive this

It's terrifying how enthousiastic this dude sounds while talking about stuff like this :D

1:09 The random Cybertruck flying😂

I remember another video saying that if Earth stopped rotating it would be forever day on one side and forever night on the other. Thinking about it now, that would mean the earth would still be rotating only as fast as its orbit around the sun, similar to the moon's rotation being as fast as its orbit around us hence why we only see one side of it. This video's explanation makes more sense

The strongest wind gust wasn’t 250 mph. It was 318 during the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado in 1999.

The “twilight zone” strategy for survival would not be practical, since there would be periods when this area would be covering the ocean.

as I remember watching documentary about earth stop spinning which is long time ago, I have kinda have the feel "yea that's about right" 😂😂

Can you imagine having to wait an entire year before mom went outside, rang the bell and started yelling for everyone to come clean up for dinner 🤯

If the Earth was tidally locked due to the Moon, a day on Earth would be 1 month, not 1 year, as that would be the time it would take for the Earth-Moon system to revolve around each other

If tectonic plates keep moving, what was it that actually stopped spinning? Earth's core?

Imagine saying see you tomorrow and forgetting about the appointment 😂

When feeling down I just watch these videos

15:12 correction, the Earth did not stop the spin of the Moon. The Moon spins in 29.5 days and its revolves around the Earth in the same 29.5 days. We see the same face of the Moon because both its rotation and revolution have the same length. 15:55 Another correction, the sidereal day is 23h56 while the solar day is 24h. The first one is a 360 degrees rotation, while the second one brings the Sun at the same place in the sky.

Well, this was depressing lol Good video infographics show!

Love the cybertruck lol

This would actually be a cool show concept

Wait, if the atmosphere, the oceans, and the plates of the earth's crust keep moving, then wouldn't that be essentially the same as if everything were still rotating?

More on planets please 😊

Bro I just saw your cover it remind me of one of my biggest nightmare having a wave that big wiping everything and everyone away

I remember a documentary that postulated this idea, but they also did a different take with the earth slowing to a stop over a short period of years, where humanity, and life in general, could survive to an extent, just not easily, with that ring continent being a pretty unpleasant place, especially over the equator as the air would be so thin, that it'd be extremely difficult to breathe, as just like the oceans and seas, the atmostphere would gather at the poles, along with being blasted off by solar events cos of the lack of the magnetic field effect...

This is the situation where the Earthremains oriented to the same direction in the universe all year. What would happen if it kept pointing the same side at the Sun (like it's tidally locked) would be much more drastic, as one side would be permanently extremely hot, and the other extremely cold. And I wonder what would happen to the atmosphere if it happened overnight.

Well, this was a lot of fun and put me in a great positive mood.... It means just keeps getting worse and worse 😂

In other words life can always be worst. I will watch this video any time I’m stressing

The nomadic tribe scenario would not work even if people somehow survived the disasters before. To continuously stay in the habitable twilight zone at the equator you would need to travel 68 miles every 24 hours which is how far that twilight area would travel on the surface of the Earth in a 24 hour period at the equator. Even at the latitude of the tropic of Capricorn would be 62 miles a day. Even at the latitude of the arctic circle you would still need to travel 27 miles a day. Just take the circumference of the latitude you are traveling at and divide it by 365 and that is how many miles you would have to travel a day to stay at the same level of shade/light that is survivable. To get to a doable level of travel time in a 24 hour period you would have to be so very close to the poles and would have no dry land.

So the earth spins fast but we don't feel it. but when it stops suddenly, we will?

Don't have time right now guys but . Geez you guys are HILARIOUS 😂😆

Interesting comparison to the "what if the earth stops spinning" video that was part of one of those old disaster documentary series.

One thing that urked me when it was stated in the video that the Sun caused Venus to spin bavkwards, this is impossible. At the very worst, the sun could slow down a planets rotation to the point that its day is the same length as its year (one side always faces the sun). This is called tidal locking, and this is why the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. The only way to make a planet spin backwards is for it to be hit by an object large enough to reverse its rotation.

It wouldn’t necessarily require an impact, just having a large body fly past. Also, the moon would effect the water levels if the earth stopped also

Loved the Cybertruck Easter egg.

I do wonder what will happen to Sumaru City at the end of Persona 2: Innocent Sin. This video really helps!

Alternate title: the earth is flat and not spinning

What’s weird is I randomly had a dream that it stopped spinning… it felt so real like everyone was holding on to thing’s basically bracing for impact once it stopped it felt so real I had to look it up after , what’s scary is how accurate it was without me even looking up the information as to what happens once it does stop spinning…

So all that earth arrangement happened by chance from a bang, that caused everything to be perfect, makes a perfect sense

All the survivors have to do is go to space and spin the earth again and it'll all work out

The Alaska Boneyard. Seems these events have taken place before. Wooly mammoths and what not perfectly preserved under permafrost. Places where there are just bones scattered everywhere amongst each other. Almost as if they came into contact with 1k mile an hour winds...

This needs to be a movie someday

It if happened, the best place to be would be planes in the sky (apart from the poles). Planes move relative to the air. Since the air wouldn't stop asap, they wouldn't be destroyed by 1000mph winds. Passengers would see the ground below suddenly starting to move like crazy. I don't know however, how they would land. Painfully, I guess.

The energy stored in the rotational moment of the planet is equivalent to millions of Chicxulub asteroids. An immediate stop of Earth spin would be much more destructive of what you describe, as it would rip the surface, which would fall into the sea. The sea in turn would suffer of kilometre-high waves. Too destructive for any detailed description of the series of events. A video describing what would happen if the earth stop spinning gradually in one year time -say because of orbital resonance with some rogue planets - would leave the possibility to describe a series of very interesting events. It would be game over anyway tho...

Actually, the highest recorded wind gust ever measured on Earth came from a Doppler on Wheels (DoW) mobile data truck taking wind measurements from the 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore tornado in Oklahoma. Winds of that tornado were measured for a total of one sustained minute at 302 mph.

90% of the infographics show videos can be turned into 2012-style blockbusters 😂

There are other imaginary scenarios to analyse. 1) What if the Moon gets away, slowly. 2) What if the Earth is pushed away from its orbit; but not along the ecliptic though, as it could crash into the other planets. Say the Earth is pushed to the north of the solar system, which has itself an angle of 60° with respect to the Galactic plane. 3) What if the Solar System is pushed out at 90° of its orbit, 27K lightyears around the Galactic centre; one orbit of the Galaxy takes 250K years tho. I can't immediately think of the consequences....

WOW 😳🥺 This is Incredible!!!🌊🌀🔥🌪️❄️🌧️

Fish be chilling tho

While the 250+ mph wind speed is technically correct, the highest windspeed is the tristate tornado with 300+ mph winds.

when would this theoretically happen? Taking into consideration about how slow the earth is dialing down the speed and how fast the earth is currently spinning

Thumbnail: *would you survive?* Me: unfortunately it is scientifically proven that i will not survive

Infographics: would you survive this event? Also infographics: *proceeds to explain why you absolutely could not survive*

Fascinating

In regard to the nomads traveling around the earth's equatorial continent to stay in the twilight zone... they would need to travel about 68 miles (110 km) every 24 hours. So basically, never stop.

Superman can fix this if it happens. 👍

If the earth stopped spinning I would call my friend Kevin

It is awesome to watch infographics show on youtube I like what would happen if you didn't brush you're teeth for 1 week

Wait, the Moon does rotate. It just takes a month to do 1 revolution.

I had read once that the Three Georges Dam has slowed down the earth's spin by shifting the weight in one location (dams doing their work basically). So, theoretically if more of such man made structures are made which have large mass /can contain large mass can slow the earth further down.

@15:10 The moon dose rotate on it's axis, it takes the same time to rotate on it's axis as it dose to revolve around the earth. It's called synchronous rotation. That's why we only see one side of the tidally locked moon.

I feel like this would make a good movie

15:09 The moon DOES spin, please research things properly, it spins once every 27 days, we only see about 55% of the moon because of that rotation speed, its rotation direction coupled with its direction and speed of orbit round earth. Again, please research things properly, thick people will take things like that as fact when its wildly incorrect.

Neil deGrasse Tyson gave a really good explanation of this a few years ago. Kinda the short version, though. I like this one as it expands on his explanation. In greater detail. Well done.

This needs to be a movie

@10:30 Circumference of the earth is 24901 miles (or 40074 km). Divide that by the number of days in a year (since the planet is spinning at the same speed that it's orbiting the sun), and you'd need to travel 68 miles per day (109 km). Assuming you could get 8 hours of sleep per day, you'd need to walk an average speed of 4.25 miles/hr. (6.84 km/h). The average human can only walk 3 mi/h (5km/h). Assuming a relatively clear and level path all the way around the equator, this would still be brutal.
