What Happens if the Moon Crashes into Earth? - Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell Reaction

[@AdamNisbett]

6:20 The moon doesn’t pull on any one bit of water very much. It’s more that it’s pulling on all the water in the ocean a little bit on each bit. And so as the moon passes over it just sloshes the oceans a bit. But since the ocean is so big it has massive momentum and a tiny slosh can cause pretty big impact at the edges. For example imagine you’re in a bathtub full of water. It only takes pushing the water side to side a bit and you can cause the water to slosh over the edge even though you aren’t actually lifting the water yourself.

The “year until it hits earth” is simply based on how quickly you slow the moon down. That’s just an arbitrary choice they made for their magic moon stopping. If you were to magically cause it to completely stop it’s orbit instantly and begin falling straight towards earth it would only take just under 5 days to impact.

The moon pulling up the water doesn't matter all that much. What really makes the tides is the moon pulling all the other water sideways towards the places with high tide. Earths gravity is strong enough to overcome the moon pulling up on the water, but not all of the water "wanting" to push in from the side.

It's the difference in the gravitational pull that makes the tides wobbly. Like for example from the current 9.8 m/s^2 to 7 m/s^2, you will still feel a force towards Earth, but it will lower, because the Moon also pushes you up, albeit weaker than Earth. But having some point of gravitational acceleration at 9 (far side of Earth to Moon) to 7 (near side of Earth to Moon), both pull towards Earth, but at different forces and the stronger corse dominates, so the net force of the water itself is towards right between the Earth and moon, the near side of Earth to the Moon.

You should totally react to the Life Beyond trilogy by melodysheep! The same person who made Timelapse of The Future

ill watch it soon for sure!:)

[@KrisMalinov]

“What if we nuked a city” and “What if we detonated all nuclear bombs at once” are also very nice

[@L3WGReacts]

i'll watch these next!:)

[@SurprisedBlueLake-oy5dr]

Bro we survive we going to look the moon

[@ex5080]

Id like to suggest vid: CGP Grey's video called "Metric Paper" is a real experience, it's based on a video called power of tens, it's puts the universe and quarum size to "perspective "(?) Its blown my mind even after watching it 4 or 5 times 😂

[@L3WGReacts]

thank you, sounds interesting ill watch it today!:)

The water is pulled because is not dense and masive
