Today we are answering an age-old very scientific and important question: What if the moon crashes into earth? It’s more interesting and weird than you probably think. Let's start with the basics: Why isn't the Moon on its way to crash into us already?

Well, size and mass aren't synonymous in scientific terms. Mass has to do with the amount of material a thing is made of, rather than its dimensions. A hollow sphere the same size as the moon would not be as massive, while a neutron star, which is much smaller than the moon, is nevertheless more massive, because it has more material, densely packed into its tiny frame.

Everything is already dead or dying... except you. Or so you think.'
@mariustan9275 2 роки тому
Yeah, I think you could make an open-world type thing where you have to find certain materials, you can either scavenge the cities, or you could sail the ocean looking for some. You can even rescue people if you want and bring them to your bunker. And if you think this isn't enough, you can make it so there are random pirates along the ocean, cthulhu-type monsters woken from the changing tides and a guy wearing Majora's Mask making the moon fall.

@ekothesilent9456 11 місяців тому
1. I’m not good enough at math, but a LOT. 2. You would want to be very far inland, and on a high elevation, a few additional bonuses to location include being away from inactive volcanos and somewhere near the equator so that you experience the warmest of the ice age that will come. This places the best locations in the Rocky Mountains in the US, North African mainland, west China/ Mongolia, and the himalayas. 3. Horribly low. If you are lucky enough to survive the natural disasters this scenario would almost certainly evolve into the most desperate world war of all humanity where major countries fight for the last remaining resources and ideal bunker locations. This would almost definitely result in a nuclear war. This means that the only safe places are going to be massive military navy vessels. Aircraft carriers and submarines. Basically if you aren’t a high ranking member of either the US military or the Chinese military you will have 0% chance of survival. These aircraft carriers will be turned into floating cities and converted into massive floating farms where the population subsists off of potatos, wheat and fish.
@tylerjones-davis6269 10 місяців тому
@@ekothesilent9456 im sorry if i sound kinda rude but. im pretty sure aircraft carriers would not survive and they would end up just like alot of normal non military ships, hulls bashed and broken, abandoned, and incapable of supporting life however subs would most likely be the last ones remaining since they can go really deep and probably latch on to the ocean floor and hold on to dear life while the oceans rage all around them deep and strong doomsday bunkers probaly also could withstand them aswell

@@tylerjones-davis6269 nah there’s actually a plan in place by the us to evacuate most high ranking military staff to a Super carrier.

A variation of the decreasing orbit scenario SHOULD have occurred in the Sonic the Hedgehog continuity after the events of Sonic Adventure 2.

It was actually surprising to hear that the answer isn't "Impact destroys the planet". I never considered that it was possible to survive the moon falling. Edit: Since some of you don't seem to understand what "possible" means, yes, you PROBABLY die. Between the tides, complete destruction of several food webs, shortage of drinkable water, earthquakes, super volcanoes, and chunks of moon that will impact, survival is not probable. What's surprising is that the probability is any fractional amount above 0% because I assumed the Moon falling would mean Mars gets promoted to the 3rd planet.

@jamesmichael7448 2 роки тому
Assuming any Humans survived this, it’s hard to say how long we could survive without the moon. The moon helps stabilize our axial tilt. Without it our tilt becomes random. “I don’t think rings would compensate for this” so our normal seasons are gone. Life is most certainly able to survive after this, but any complex life that has evolved a dependence on seasons are probably toast.

We need a survival game of this. The story could revolve around you somehow altering the way the moon breaks at the end with some high tech equipment (that probably made the moon fall in the first place) and you have to do it on a year or less while surviving the high tides, earthquakes, and lack of food/potable water. if you manage to do it, you get the hopeful ending with a bright ring around Earth and the hope to start anew. If you don't, you die to a meteor shower on a red colored frost desert.

There’s an eerie beauty of the thought that earth would have a grey ring around it, signifying the loss of its moon. It is equally terrifying as it is breathtaking.

I tried translating 1:59, but I don't get it... I transliterated the Hylian into: ahiru ni kohan --- saru moki kara ochira --- akuintsuka --- haka wa shinanakiya naoranai Which google tells me is, in Japanese Lakeside on a duck --- The monkey is also a tree --- Evil cause --- The 7th term of the grave is not fixed

i love how this channel goes into depth about the societal impacts of the moon too. its not just "here's the impact, here's how it blows up," its actually "what happens to communication when the sea level rises? how will countries react? how long until a complete societal crash?"
