What If the Earth Stopped Spinning for 5 Seconds?
Hang on because we’re about to screech to a halt. That’s right. The Earth is going to stop spinning for five seconds. How much damage would this sudden stoppage cause? What would you experience in different parts of the world? And when the Earth starts spinning again, would it still be habitable? How would the day and night cycle be affected? Why would there be strong winds?
