The Consequences of Earth's Sudden Stop

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Earth suddenly stopped spinning for just one second?

Everything on the surface — people, cars, buildings — would fly eastward at

be wiped out instantly. Thankfully... our planet keeps spinning safely. But imagine — one

second, and life as we know it could end.
