Luke Nukem Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Don't worry guys this is not going to be another wacky conspiracy thread... * sigh * The aim to this thread is just a general interest of mine and a thought I have been having lately. The game revolves around ' What would happen if? ' For example.... ' What would happen if we ran out of oil? ' Once the person on the forums have thought of their ' What would happen if? ' question the person below must answer it with the most logical reason on how it would change or endanger everyday life and also how to combat the problem, but after they must also give their own question . For example if oil did run out we as humans would look for other alternatives such as hydrogen power like we are doing now in case it does happen as quick as we think it will.So guys if there are any problems with understanding my ill English punctuation or grammar just PM me. Enjoy the game First Question: " What would happen if the world stopped spinning?"Silly question, but it's not a stupid one. Quote Link to comment

Silver Dot Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 We'd probably write stories and movies about how there are aliens there.What would happen if I turned homosexual? Quote Link to comment
Luke Nukem Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Then a day would last a year.What would happen if we got a second moon?earth is rotating at a speed of about 1100 miles per hour. If our planet suddenly stopped rotating the atmosphere would still be in motion at that speed. The atmosphere would be moving so fast it would literally pick up the land masses that are not anchored to bedrock, this would mean rocks, soil, trees, buildings, people and animals. All would be swept up into the atmosphere. Also one side of the earth will always be covered in darkness whilst the other is facing the sun. Quote Link to comment
Hundred2 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) LukeNukem, what does that have to do with the 2nd moon?EDIT2: The earth doesn't spin AT ALL in this situation, and the earth goes around the sun. Thus a "Day (Light->Darkness->Light shift) would take a year. (or something )CLAVUS QUESTION EDIT NUMBER 3 :The tides would be fucking up and the earth's axis could shift.EDIT: SILVER DOT.No one would give a fuck because being homosexual isn't supposed to be stupid/different/hate worthy.What would happen if the average youtube commenter got a rise in IQ.I had to edit this 10 million times.

Would a non rotating earth be able to maintain it's atmosphere and magnetic field? Quote Link to comment

Would a non rotating earth be able to maintain it's atmosphere and magnetic field?As far as I know our magnetic field is caused by the earth's metallic core rotating (It has some weird witchcraft metal particles that generate our magnetic field), If that one stopped rotating as well, we would be fucked indeed.The atmosphere would stay here because gravity makes sure the air doesn't escape.EDIT: Lukenukem, check my edited post, may clear up things.

If the Earth stopped rotating, the magnetic field would no longer be regenerated. There would be no more 'northern lights' and so would our protection from cosmic rays and other high-energy particles. Losing this protection would cause serious health issues to us and Hundy Edited February 28, 2012 by Luke Nukem Quote Link to comment
Quert Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I thought this topic was about someone who askes a question, the next one answers it and then asks another one..Instead all I see is people discussing about the first question over and over...Plus, I dont see which is the latest question, so I guess I'll make a new one:What would happen if you were the USA's president?

The IQ's and tactical ways of thinking would increase in gaming giving gamers a better understanding of real warfare and the opportunities it offers to actually win a war instead of calling in dogs 24/7. Also Golden Eye 007 reloaded wouldn't of been developed.What would of happened if JF Kennedy wasn't shot? Edited February 28, 2012 by Luke Nukem Quote Link to comment
