Aftermath When The Earth Stops Spinning(full documentary)HD

The spin of the Earth starts slowing down dramatically. It is estimated Earth would stop spinning in as little as 5 years. The first effect is the isolation between the Global Positioning System satellites and ground-based atomic clocks. Then stock markets crash because of uncertainty about humanity's future. As times goes on the oceanic bulge of water at the equator moves northward and southward. The water floods Russia, Canada, and Antarctica. The atmosphere, once shaking solar heat out over the world and shifting air, stops and whirls to the poles. The air starts to thin at the equator and people have to migrate to more northerly and southerly cities in order to keep up with denser air. There is a higher risk of ultraviolet radiation as the electromagnetic field weakens because of the slowing inner core. The slowing Earth causes friction between the crust and the inner and outer cores, creating tremendous earthquakes.

literally one of the best documentaries ive seen, I loved how it was like a movie and it was informative

Narrator: "Each day is now more than 2.5 days long; each night is, too!"

Actors: *attempt to sleep facing a window, with the sun shining right in their faces*

It is INSANE how cool and informative this doc is. I learned about GPS, centrifugal force, climate, and geology, and all from the very, very simple premise of "what if the Earth slowed down?" So much depends on something that seems so inconsequential. I love it.

[MiketheCabbie]

Am I the only one who thinks this could be made into a TV series, in the style of The Walking Dead?

i love the kid smashing onto the ground after suffering altitude sickness while his dad watches like "you got this". he's covered in safety gear, but didn't properly set it up? what was the point lmao he should just be dangling like a puppet, not bashed on the ground.

[Nesterou]

The comments section is a fabulous documentary in itself. I ended up reading them instead of watching the actual documentary.

[Brownstone]

They forgot the scenario when people turn on each other.  In critical times the biggest danger/threat will always be other people.

[DarkerWorlds]

I honestly prefer a Zombie apocalypse than this crazy scary one

[teamskrub]

Really makes you appreciate how perfect the position, spin, etc. of this world is!

these videos are always great to fall asleep to

[brickbarista]

this is my all time favorite documentary. i remember first watching it a couple weeks after it was uploaded here right before i went to saturday school, back when i was in the 7th grade (ironically, i was going to saturday school due to missing assignments in... science class!)

I think about this documentary regularly, especially when playing games like universe sandbox and messing with the earth's rotation. and being a colorado native myself, i loved the prominent inclusion of denver :D I visit this video often so I thought I'd leave my mark with a comment.

[JFrombaugh]

It’s incredible how this is part documentary & part science fiction movie. I genuinely almost teared up when it became clear that the family who left Colorado to settle with the others in Kansas wouldn’t survive.

[noobtv]

Fascinating isn’t it?

The fact that our existence is so fragile and depends on so many things lining up perfectly .

Yet seems almost as if it is impossible too stop life as a whole.

44:27 "It will never happen like this"

There, to all of you who may think this would actually happen.
All that's left are nerds in Hawaii and people who somehow made it from Kansas and/or Florida to Hawaii in 1 year of brutal sun and 1 year of brutal cold darkness.

[Mucho-Taco]

5:22 I find it funny that they expect everyone to go too work n not panic after he said no country will be spared.

[howardmiller]

In the long winters, when the sea freezes, the ice can be harvested. As sea water freezes, brine is squeezed out, making the ice fairly fresh.

22:20 close the blinds and turn the lights out then lmfao

[killerpenguin]

They should do a documentary on what would happen if the earth started spinning again

[CesareVesdani]

What would happen if the Earth were to spin faster?

well on the BRIGHT side... you have solar power for 24/7. Can't believe the survivors didn't use solar power... They could even use the constant heat of the sun for desalination ... Geezzz.
