The earth's spin

I saw a video on Utube the other day about what it would be like if the earth's spin stopped. It was not like stopped in a instant but slowed down in five year year period . I feel the story is incomplete. At the beginning I was waiting for an explanation of what caused the earth to slow down. In the end there was none.

I visualize there should be some form of resistance,  but there is none that I know of in space except what part gravity might play. Theoretically with zero resistance spin and orbit momentum should be indefinite. I visualise both the earth and moon's orbits should be obeying Isaac Newtown's laws of force and motion thinking their velocities trying to go straight but captured in orbit by the sun's masses gravity currying a lot of momentum forces in a orbiting circles.

One thing I can think of the moon's orbit is effecting the earth's orbit. The  momentum trying to leave orbit in a straight line might have somthing to to do with it. We know the moon is not spinning because the same side is always facing earth. That might be due to the earth gravity.

To get an Idea of how the relation ship between the two bodies I  visualized both the earth and moon's masses tethered together like a ball chain representing gravity. I though if the small ball was in motion might have an effect on earth's orbit. But then the earth's gravity is much stronger inevitably effecting the motion of the moon. I also visualized an increased in escape velocity due to centrifugal forces of the motion of moon moving away from earth.

I spotted in Utube's side bar a relative video I intend  to view can the earth survive without the moon promising myself I's get to it in my next assignment

In the current clip I was viewing a question came to me when the air got thin. Why's that? I wondered if the story was saying air get thin if the earth's spin slows down. Then this begs me if that is the case looking at it from the opposite point of view does the thickness of the earth's atmosphere depend on the mass of the earth's spin? Or does the earth's atmosphere depend on the earth's spin at all.

Then what would happen if the earth's spin sped up? We are all aware of centrifugal forces of spin. Is there any validity centrifugal forces of the earth mass during spin if so is it adding to the earth's mass? The moon not spinning helps dispel that theory. But according to Einstein's special theory of relativity motion adds mass in the form of a gravitational equivalence we expresses as G's in any motion.

The question is, does the spin of the earth depend on momentum the moon's mass? And if the moon's mass velocity causing the moon to leave earth's orbit? This begs to question the moon's escape velocity.

Never the less I feel the story of what happen if the earth's spin stops was way- way incomplete. I was expecting in this kind of disaster stories of human panic specially criminals beginning to run riot. That alone is a disaster even if it was a by product of the slowing down of the earth's spin. The story came to a point when the air become to thin to people struggled to breath properly.

I was disappointed the story neglected the fact that (including all animals ) the human brain needs an abundance of oxygen. There was no drama of increasing number of paramedics dealing with people out of breath, fainting, struggling to breath in streets and homes. There was no paramedic dramas attending to people suffering from increasing dizzy, spells, weakness, clumsiness to limbs not working properly and falling spells due the lack of oxygen helping to promote these as evidence of the population beginning to suffer strokes.

Other things that was not included an increase mental health problems dramas. I was expecting the first increases of mild cases of moody, depression and tiredness dispassion problems at work and in family relations taking it out on each other. As things steadily got worse a marked increase behaving as if they have had a few ( as if drinking ) but have never touched a drop. I would expected this to be the result of the  lack of oxygen causing an increase of playful drunkenness effect of the brain suffocating.  I would have expected an huge increases moody, depression, memory and navigation loss and concentration dramas to illustrate the point.

I thought what little references of disorientation of the environment behavior there was, by far to brief an illustration not addressing it to be because when our brain is slowly suffocating for oxygen causing lots of dementia behavior. I would have thought dramas of brain functioning problems in people in the thin atmosphere would be impeding rationality and cool calm and collected thinking. We need a brain in good condition for that sort of thing in any life threatening emergency.

I thought as the thin atmosphere got worse paramedic drama stories overwhelmed with more and more stroke victim dramas was missing to illustrate the point. By the time places got so bad to be uninhabitable millions of stragglers unable to think clearly incapacitated by strokes and dementia behavior had set in displaying all sorts of mental health issues turning people into dying zombies, vegetables and moody psychiatric mood swings making trouble causing rows, suffering depression, memory and navigation losses occurring in even well adjusted families suffering slow brain suffocation. If slowing down the earth's spin is anything to go by is a lessen of what happens to us when we suffer brain oxygen starvation.

Right from the cat go anyway criminals would have been helping their selves to what they wanted in lawless antisocial behavior for some time as it was while low oxygen levels effecting everybody else as well. The brain effected by the lack of oxygen wound's have helped defend homes form criminal home invaders. It would not be unlike trying it when drunk. The brain has to be in top order to deal with theses sorts of situations..

Dying brains would be in constantan dementia behavior problems on a massive scale. There would be scenes of hopelessly chaotic demented actions from everybody including children to adults. Children would struggling for energy tired and moody always wanting to sleep all the time disorders caused by brain suffocation and and physical tiredness because of a lack of oxygen. Their brains would be in no condition to cope rationally in a low oxygen environment specially refugee treks, To cope with a emergency we all need to have lots of energy cool calm and collected our thoughts all collected together. The low oxygen areas would have only helped impend peoples brain function steadily getting worse. 

In this story there was nothing of what life would like struggling with peoples pets and Zoo animals equally effected by lack of oxygen. Another thing would be effected  is transportation. Cars, trains, boats and plans all need oxygen to function. I expected stories of authorities forced to  ground everything including all aircraft because of unsafe lack of oxygen just as equally to save it. No transport vehicles could run properly in low oxygen areas. All transportation would come to a halt because for the  need oxygen to run them. Just goes to show how much we take for granted.
