[@GojiraWook]

the meteor would have to be .75 moons, but the meteor would leave a giant crater on the moon, similar to the one that may have made hills on the core of the moon.

[@Borishal]

Scientifically suspect. 45⁰ tilt would cause bigger seasonal swings; hotter summers and colder winters. Ice ages? We have variations in the wobble of the Earth's axis now as model.

[@vedantsridhar8378]

Indeed. I love his hypothetical scenario videos

[@phillipgathright8001]

The old Hanna-Barbara cartoon Thundarr the Barbarian opened with a rogue planet passing between the Earth and the Moon, causing our satellite not to split in two but break into many large pieces. And these pieces stayed in orbit, giving the Earth many smaller moons.

[@ljhed]

A very good documentary

[@cakzyh]

Every scenario with What If would cause a world apocalypse

[@Ragnarok182]

But, we love the apocalypse and destruction theories, until they actually happen that is.

[@swagchad3006]

well there’d be no more waterbending

[@dillfincollins6516]

There's a movie called' 'Impact' that's about the moon being hit by a brown dwarf and causes not only pieces of the moon flying right at the Earth but also a piece of the brown dwarf that eventually landed on earth, it turns the earth and moon into giant magnets and the earth starts pulling the moon towards it, it's a pretty good movie, the special effects are so so, but the movie itself is really good.

[@rialvita7141]

What if the moon was a second Earth, could both planets live without colliding?

[@jeffgillson]

If they were gravitationally locked and orbiting eachother at the exact right speed and distance, then... Yes.. But, that would change everything you know about earth , like for example, instead of 1-2 meter waves on the coast, we would have tsunamis ALL THE TIME. Waves could be hundreds of meters or even km high, high and low tides would cover significant spans of distance, possibly submerging entire continents. Gravity itself might be effected, winds could get out of control, seasons would probably be significantly different, and most if not all life (if there even was life) would have to adapt to the completely different circumstances. It would be highly unlikely there would be intelligent life as the planet would be extremely violent... Basically natural disasters of unimaginable proportions would be standard every day weather - earthquakes literally off the Richter scale*, tsunamis, hurricanes, blizzards, volcanoes exploding 24/7* * There would be no "Richter scale" as there would be no Richter *24/7 would be meaningless as "hours" "days" and "weeks" would be different amounts of time, and there would be no humans to measure time anyway

[@cashewnuttel9054]

@@jeffgillson But what if humanity prayed to God, would that help?

[@PlanetGuy901]

If Luna was a second Earth, we would have an Earth orbiting an Earth. And no, we wouldn’t collide into it… for billions of years at least… But I’d worry more about The Sun turning into a red giant and roasting us at the same time as Luna spirals into Earth.

[@ilovepadme3982]

Dude you give me goosebumps just by imagining it realistically because what if it's​ really going to really happens? Not now not in 3 or 5 yrs but maybe 50 yrs or 100 yrs

[@viktorreznov635]

Sagittarius A* , abbreviated SGR A* is the supermassive blackhole at the galactic center of the milky way. It is the located near the border of constellation of sagittarius and scorpius, about 5.6 south of the ecliptic, visually close to the butterfly cluster and the lambda scorpii.

What if "What if" was deleted from KZbin? This could be a great relief as every video of what if implants a new wierd fear of death into my mind.

The book Seveneves is based on this happening and what humanity would do. Really good book.

[@Diyel]

[@Faradayyyyy]

everyone talks about how a scattered moon could potentially destroy earth, but no one talks about how the moon took a bullet for the earth🥲

[@Anakin.xx1]

There is no point in talking when everyone's gonna be dead, moon just delayed & cause more panic to people

You missed what would happen to the Earth’s rotation due to the law of conservation of angular momentum. Absent the Moon, Earth’s rotation would accelerate, wreaking havoc on plate tectonics, the atmosphere, and everything in between. It would be a very bad day.

Yeah it attracts air too but not as much as water. Why? Cuz water has *more mass* . so just do the math re: gravitational attraction. GREAT QUESTION, tho! Never crossed my mind. You should send it in to *Star Talk Radio* (podcast)
