[00:00:00]Right now, you are spinning at 1,000 mph. If the Earth stopped for just one single second, you wouldn't even realize it before you died. The planet stops, but the atmosphere keeps moving.

[00:00:10]Everything not anchored [music] to bedrock is instantly launched eastward at supersonic speeds. The oceans would turn into liquid walls of death, sweeping across entire continents at the speed of a jet fighter. Mountains would literally shatter and collapse. The friction between the frozen crust [music] and the supersonic air would ignite global firestorms. In less than a heartbeat, Earth becomes a blazing inferno. After 1 second, the planet spins again, but there's no one left to witness it. [music] Next time you feel dizzy, remember how fragile our ride really is.
