What If the Earth Stopped Spinning?

What If the Earth Stopped Spinning?

by | Sep 20, 2025

In this article, I delve into the question: What if the Earth stopped spinning?  Most people don’t think about how important Earth’s rotation really is. However, it is vital for life in a variety of ways. So, naturally, I came up with this question. It turns out that...

Have you ever wondered what keeps the Sun burning in vacuum? Or why is it shrinking? Then this article is for you.  The Sun, however many people think it is, is not a ball of burning gas. Instead, at the centre of this star, an exotic reaction takes place, causing the...

Books That Blew My Mind...

Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe

What it’s about:
This book explains how complicated stuff works—like spaceships, submarines, and nuclear reactors—using only the 1,000 most common words. It’s funny, clever, and full of brilliant diagrams that make big ideas super simple.

Why I love it:
It shows that if you really understand something, you can explain it clearly—even without big words. It makes you think harder and laugh at the same time.

Best for:
People who love science, machines, or just figuring out how things tick.

What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions – by Randall Munroe

What it is about: 

This book answers some of the weirdest, funniest, and most brilliant questions ever asked—like:

What if the Earth suddenly stopped spinning?

How much Force power can Yoda output?

What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball at the speed of light?

Why I love it:
This one’s a classic. Hilarious, creative, and packed with real science, it answers bizarre questions like “What if everyone jumped at once?” or “Could you swim in a pool of spent nuclear fuel?”
Perfect for: quirky minds like me, s and deep thinkers with a sense of humour.

Best for: 

Anyone who loves strange questions, or future scientists with big imaginations.

How To – by Randall Munroe

What it’s about:
This book gives ridiculously overcomplicated scientific advice for doing simple things—like taking a selfie, digging a hole, or crossing a river. Want to move your house with helicopters? Fly using a drone swarm? This book explains how… with real physics and lots of laughs.

Why it’s great:
It teaches problem-solving, creative thinking, and scientific logic—while being totally silly. It shows that science isn’t just about facts—it’s a playground for imagination.

Best for:
For us kids (and adults) who ask “what if I did this instead?” and love taking things to the extreme like me, just to see what would happen. 🙂

What I am Reading Right Now...

Time, Love and Memory

The quest to find the origin of animal behaviour by Jonathan Weiner

This book is perfect for readers who sometimes wonder about questions like “Are animals conscious?” or “Where did animal behaviour originate from?” It delves into the realms of living organism psychology and describes Jonathan Weiner’s important discoveries that may help develop cures for depression, anxiety, anger and mental illnesses. It also raises the interesting, but complex question ‘Is our behaviour, interactions and fate already set in stone?’ If you are curious for the answer to these questions, then this book is for you, but be careful – it will likely raise more questions than it answers.
