[00:00:00]What would happen if friction vanished from Earth right now? If friction vanished from Earth, you would never be able to stand again. You would start sliding uncontrollably. You try to walk, but your feet slide out instantly. It feels like the entire world has turned into a giant ice rink. But it gets worse. [music] Every car on the road loses control instantly. Brakes stop working completely, causing massive crashes everywhere. Planes trying to land slide for miles before exploding on impact. Fire cannot exist. No engines.

[00:00:28]Everything that depends on combustion fails instantly. Buildings begin to fail, too. Screws and bolts slowly unthread themselves.

[00:00:35]>> [music] >> Nothing holds them in place. Because friction is the invisible force holding civilization together. And without it, Earth becomes pure, [music] unstoppable chaos. So tell me, what would you try to grab first?
