What would happen if the world lost Oxygen for 5 seconds?

Wish us at 50K: We're going to make a video to celebrate 50K subscribers on our channel.

Oxygen may not be the main constituent of the Earth’s atmosphere, but its role in the survival of many forms of life elevates its significance. No one can live without sufficient quantity of food, water and oxygen. Of the three, oxygen is by far the most important and urgently needed. Have you ever imagined what if oxygen from the Earth was lost for 5 seconds? Watch this video and know what exactly would happen if the world lost oxygen just for 5 seconds.

So no matter what, all life on earth would cease to exist?! Fuck that, I'm outta here!

The spot welding part is totally false for 3 reasons.

1. You need a force to weld two untreated pieces of metal. Check the youtube videos of cold-welding machines in action, which is what they are referring to here.
2. Cold welding only happens in a vacuum, like in space, and earth without oxygen isn't a vacuum. You still have many other particles in the atmosphere like 78% No2(Nitrogen), .09% Ar(Argon), .03% Co2 (Carbon Dioxide) etc.. Oxygen only makes up 21%.
3. The metal needs to be completely unblemished and smooth. Any sort of blemishes, rust(oxidation), or oil residue would stop the process, even if the above criteria was met.

after the five seconds, oxygen returns, the water didn't escape yet, ocean is back, people are dead, or deaf, no city infrastructure. sounds good to me

[julian]

why is this almost the same as buzzfeed

[officialsourcegamer]

"People at the beach would get sunburns" that's not too bad "Then everyone would explode and everything would collapse" ah, Okay...

[atomgarcia]

And then after 5 seconds the oceans would suddenly fall down and huge tsunamis would crash on us...

[Foralluhaterz]

We all should be thankful to God having mercy upon us for giving us all these blessings especially ones we dont see or are aware of

[markaz]

wow.. that made me think. what if... scary.
great video bud.

This is the absolute worst case scenario. 90% of this would likely not happen. There is absolutely no way the Earth could lose all oxygen for even a millisecond. 5 seconds is an eternity. This is absolutely impossible. I get the point of the video, and there is merit to it, but it could never happen. Ever. If it did happen, it would only happen over a very long period of time. We'd be long gone due to oxygen deprivation before any of this happened.

[suonicslice]

So basicaly. Without oxygen. We woudl explode.

[Alittlebitinteresting]

huh interesting, most videos are about like the air but this is all of the oxygen atoms no matter where they are

[TheLeahacer]

i thought it would be a simpler video where there was no Oxygen to breath for 5 secs. That caught my attention .. i didnt expect the element oxygen to vanish for 5 seconds. That isnt so interesting because you can just sum it up with "Everyone explodes" /end video.

[zombiex]

lots of false information in the video.
1- earth's atmosphere is made up of roughly 20% oxygen. airplane can still take off if oxygen is completely removed from the atmosphere.
2- There is more to cold welding. putting 2 pieces of similar metals in contact in an oxygen free environment do not make them adhere to each other instantly.

[AylaMarionSU]

Guys, please tell Buzzfeed about this!

[awshucksitappearsiwasrudet]

We wouldn't die because this would take about three Minutes so life would just be slightly stunted and it's impossible for all oxygen to disappear because there is oxygen in water and the human body it 70% water

[dennis]

So there's a chance we'd make it.

[Ayixlia]

5 second is too short for all of this to happen you meant 5 minutes now that sounds just about it.

[TheShuffle]

So literally the whole world can end in five seconds

[johnbaries]

this is all theory based on science but in reality you don't know really what would ocurr

[gunarr]

not only this but we would not be able to move because in order for our cells to release energy into our bodies for movement, cellular respiration must be performed. so yeah. take that
