What If a Massive Gravitational Wave Hit Earth?

1.3 billion years ago, two orbiting massive black holes, circling each other at 250 times a second, collided in a violent, universe-rippling explosion that sent waves of energy throughout the cosmos. In its wake, a new supermassive black hole formed over 60 times bigger than our Sun. Fast forward to September 2015, gravitational waves from this ancient cosmic event finally struck Earth. Luckily, the gravitational waves weakened over such a great distance. But what if we weren't so lucky? If a couple of black holes in our solar system collided, could we survive? What would happen to Earth if we got hit by massive gravitational waves? What causes these waves? How can we detect them?

What If elsewhere:

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure through time, space and chance while we (hopefully) boil down complex subjects in a fun and entertaining way.

90% of the viewers wondering, "what happened to peter?"(the male voice/narrator)

[RobloxLegendsYT]

Peter:here is the new voice of what if
Me:wth
Other people: is Peter dead????
Me:well that’s a story for another what if

[randompersonyago]

Fun Fact: Majority of the What If questions lead to one answer: entity extinction occurrence.

Who else honestly learns more from what ifs videos than school



just me, okay

[denniscabrera]

Can we get the male voice back though? This doesn’t feel right

[nicoletorres]

I’m confused, is this a woman emulating a male’s voice or a teenage boy going through puberty?

Bring back peter, bruh!

"Earth could be devastated at any moment by huge waves from space and we all die."
Everyone in comment section: "I don't like your voice, I want the old comforting voice back."

WHY THE VOICE IS GIRL

WHERE IS THE BOY VOICE

[lovelyemz]

Me: *gets ready to hear the normal deep voice guy*
What if: *different guy talks with kinda soft voice*
Me: huh? 😂😭

During my lifetime, I've learned that any type of collisions on a "What If" video. Tends to be almost always deadly.
Waiting for peer review, or an extinction event. What ever happens first.

[ayaanafzal]

Honestly the new voice just doesn’t give the same vibe and excitement from watching a what if video

[specagent]

I don’t like this “what if” voice over girl she’s got a weird non comfort voice she doesn’t match to this vid

[JoshuaHalsall]

Wait so you're saying the title has already happened? That's new 😂

[findingbeyond]

"Story of why": Why waves are generated above a fire (which can be seen through the air )?

[frenchfrytoast]

The voice just makes this video less interesting even tho before I clicked I was interested now it just wants me to click off

[Pem]

Lady voice sounds like Robot
She is just reading Essay
