What if the Moon Crashed into the Earth - Part 2

Imagine if the Moon was on a collision course toward the Earth.
All of the visuals are approximately close to real world scale. After our previous Sci-fi video based on Moonfall we wanted to follow it up with a more logical and scientific prediction to this 'What If' scenario.

This is amazing. The music while the moon is being absolutely desecrated is PHENOMENAL. Instantly Subscribed.

[@VeiTheOne]

I agree, I want the pipe organ music!

[@ninhil2]

I want to keep our moon but the ring from earths view looks overwelmingly phantastic! Well done!

[@Dr_Doctor_Lee]

also if this is true, im very impressed for a multiple amount of reasons: the quality of the animation. the research that went into it. and, despite what we all expected, the planet wouldnt die. sure many deaths and much destruction, nothing humans couldnt recover from. im very pleased

[@ShutterAuthority]

Thank you. Kurzgesagt videos on the same topic was a great reference for us. Our challenge was to calculate the correct apparent scale and perspective to adapt it to live action footage.

[@Dr_Doctor_Lee]

@@ShutterAuthority i see it went quite qualitative satisfying. and ye..math is a d1ck..as always

[@ShutterAuthority]

Hahaha

[@newnamesameperson397]

The planet wouldn't die but life certainly would. The moon wouldn't break apart and magically turn to a thin ring. It would impact with the earth and kill everything. OK but say it did magical turn into a ring, well you can expect extreme climate shifts every couple hundred years or so. That may not be a big deal initially but a lack of a moon poses another threat to life and that's ecological systems. A lot of animals depend on tides without them they would die then the animals that depended on them would die and so on. So mass die offs should be expected, if mankind somehow manages to survive that it would be at a reduced number from billions to millions or less. When the extreme climate changes start happening then expect complex life to go extinct. That's not to say life can't evolve and adapt, if does it won't be humans or likely anything you see today. It be like the reset button had been pressed sort of like how the dinosaurs went. In conclusion life would be fucked lol

@@ShutterAuthority so there wouldn't be an end to every living being on earth?

[@fredbmurphy]

There's the missing part where some pieces that would be larger than what killed the dinosaurs fall to earth: same scenario in which everyone dies.

[@TheoCrox]

@@Alex-gn9px well, the earth quakes n tsunamis are gonna do a lot of damage and there would probably be a few giant rocks falling down on Earth (although I dont think that they're gonna cause mass extinction, due to their orbit)

[@Alex-gn9px]

@@TheoCrox They should be very small. Look at the damage done by the small rock (just 10 meters in diameter) in Russia in 2013. If they were rocks of hundreds of meters or a few km, I think we would end up like the dinosaurs. However, between wars and pollution humans will become extinct sooner.

[@MrBrix01]

Awesome video! Lovely graphics and I was surprised when I saw the ring at the end, I thought the pieces would just crash into the earth. If I'm being honest, I rate this video 9.5/10

[@ShutterAuthority]

Thank you for the nice comment! Some of the pieces would surely crash into the Earth causing further destruction.

[@TwentyPercentDash]

I'm pretty sure the moon would maintain its orb shape, then crash into the Earth, destroying all life. Really cool video though. Great work!

[@ShutterAuthority]

That would be like our Moonfall video. By observing moons of other planets scientists have enough reason to the believe that moons disintegrate when the go past their Roche limit.

I love the end that the Earth get rings like saturn, i also more like this video than part 1 because part 1 was like the bad ending and this the good ending because the rings would have the Moon's gravity and it would protect us from meteors and part 1 because the moons did not break into pieces and succesfully into Earth and more tips from part 2 that the Moon because of earths atmosphere and orbital gravitational pull the moon broke into pieces and became a ring around the Earth. bravo Incredible video:)

[@dierdrecole8027]

This was very cool, thank you.

[@maipful]

We survived!

[@BrianBogiaBricky]

We would all die.

[@ParanormalWeather660]

Yeah we would but it just made the Earth look like 🪐

[@jazzie-noodle]

Worth it tbh

[@spudbencer7179]

Sidenote: The roche limit only applies like this if the moon is closing in on the earth IN ORBIT. If it is propelled towards the earth at a remarkable speed it would still get torn apart but only from our atmosphere. The roche limit is based on tidal forces.

[@milanstevic8424]

And because the Roche limit is pretty near the surface of the Earth, many of the pieces would end up falling, in turn heating up the atmosphere and scar the surface, melt down the ice caps, acidify the oceans, and turn several continents into large igneous provinces for half a million years or more. Near-complete annihilation of all life would ensue.

[@syncmaster915n]

Great graphics there! I don't think the moon would explode dramatically like that into big chunks. Earth's gravity would most likely knead the moon crust and upper mantle like a dough until bits and pieces of semi-molten rocks tear away from the core. Btw, i read that moon's core is actually slushy in nature and is constantly sloshing around below the mantle. And that earth doesn't just revolve around the sun, it actually wobbles around the sun due to the tug of the moon. Last but not least, if you ask me which i'd prefer, a moon or a ring around the earth, i'd vote for a ring.

[@jacquesredmond]

If this happened according to this scenario, Earth would not be a fun place to live. If Earth had no moon, our planet would experience significantly different conditions, including drastically altered tides, wildly fluctuating seasons due to an unstable axial tilt, potentially much shorter days, and likely a very different evolution of life on Earth, with stronger winds and more extreme weather patterns due to the lack of the moon's stabilizing gravitational pull; essentially, our planet's climate and ecosystems would be much less stable than they are today.

A lot of the moon debri would reach earth causing major damage. The tides would all but stop and the earth would become unstable on its slightly warped axis. Living on the earth after the demise of the moon would probably be hell. Same thing but without the debri damage once the moon drifts too far from the earth to have any effect.
