We go round, round, round, round

Everywhere that I go, people know me by the way I flow
I keep it moving in the right direction
And everyday you know that's how I'm living
It's alright

Round round, get around, I get around (it's alright)

Downtown boogie down, I get around (it's alright)
Round round, get around, I get around (it's alright)
Downtown boogie down, I get around

Round, round where we go where we looking for hos
We line up and knock 'em down it's like tic tac toe
We on a roll spittin' flows every day of the week
We might not got alotta dough but we get paid by the freak
We move it east different cities, different girls, different titties
And we get 'em by the dozens call 'em groupie committees
We gettin' busy like bone all up in college dorms
If you ain't takin' us home then you can leave us alone

Everywhere that I go, people know me by the way I flow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Round Round" by Far★East Movement are all about the fast-paced, globetrotting lifestyle of the band. Everywhere they go, they are recognized for their unique style of music and they keep moving in the right direction every day. The chorus repeats the phrase "we go round, round, round, round" to emphasize the constant motion of their lives. The first verse describes their exploits in different cities with different girls, and how they make a living off of their performances. They might not have a lot of money, but they get paid by fans (called "freaks") who follow them from show to show. The second verse talks about how the band has been around the block, and how they are known by women for their game. The lyrics mention the need for more money, and they joke about getting high off the pot. The bridge repeats that they go to different places, fly around the world, and will continue to rock the mic for years to come.

I keep seeing things about "what if the Earth suddenly stopped", what I'd love to see is a show like this showing what it would be like if the Earth were to slowly (but still incredibly rapidly in geologic scales, say over a decade) come to a stop.

Trivia:
To date, the strongest wind ever recorded on earth due to natural processes was 318 +/- mph. It was measured by a mobile doppler radar attached to the back of a truck. The wind speed was identified to be within an F5 tornado in or around Bridge Creek, OK on 05/03/1999. It is one of the most famous weather events on record. The photos of the damage it did in housing additions that were hit dead-on by the center of the tornado is scary. Nothing left. No debris. No homes. No cars. Just pieces of concrete slab foundations. I can’t imagine what 1,000mph wind would do.

This is the situation where the Earthremains oriented to the same direction in the universe all year. What would happen if it kept pointing the same side at the Sun (like it's tidally locked) would be much more drastic, as one side would be permanently extremely hot, and the other extremely cold. And I wonder what would happen to the atmosphere if it happened overnight.

It has little to do with the vacuum of space not creating enough friction to be able to slow down the spin of the earth..

I think what he is referring to is Newtons first law that says an object in motion will stay in motion. If you imagine putting water in a big tub and then dragging it with a car slowly speeding up and then you suddenly stop the tub, the water will want to keep going in the direction you were driving. This is basically what will happen in the short term if the world were to stop spinning instantaneously. The atmosphere and water would move incredibly fast relative to the ground hence high winds and tidal waves.

The nomadic tribe scenario would not work even if people somehow survived the disasters before. To continuously stay in the habitable twilight zone at the equator you would need to travel 68 miles every 24 hours which is how far that twilight area would travel on the surface of the Earth in a 24 hour period at the equator. Even at the latitude of the tropic of Capricorn would be 62 miles a day. Even at the latitude of the arctic circle you would still need to travel 27 miles a day. Just take the circumference of the latitude you are traveling at and divide it by 365 and that is how many miles you would have to travel a day to stay at the same level of shade/light that is survivable. To get to a doable level of travel time in a 24 hour period you would have to be so very close to the poles and would have no dry land.

@petergriffin8681

48w

I’m pretty sure you could not live in the twilight zone as a nomadic tribe either. The terminator line, the point between light and dark, currently traverses the planet once per day or every 24 hours roughly. This terminator line would still traverse the surface but it would take 1 year to do so. At the equator this would essentially mean a 65 mile hiker EACH DAY to stay in the twilight zone. Assuming 6 hours of sleep, 1 hours for bathroom breaks and food stops, this leaves you with 14 “hours” of movement. That would mean a constant speed of 4.7MPH to stay within that zone. This of course assumes we don’t become tidally “locked” to the Sun with a face that always points towards the Sun and one facing away…if that were the case, one surface would be several hundred degrees and the exact opposite on the other…

@Xesh001

2y↑7

They didn't mention that the moon is slowly spiralling away from the Earth. As it gets further away the influence it has is reduced. Tides will get less noticeable and the rotation of the Earth will eventually even out. This means that there will be a time when the days won't be getting longer.

@sburton015

2y↑1

Another scenario would be what if the Earth became tidally locked to the sun instead of one year long day?

@rayoflight62

2y↑2

The energy stored in the rotational moment of the planet is equivalent to millions of Chicxulub asteroids.
An immediate stop of Earth spin would be much more destructive of what you describe, as it would rip the surface, which would fall into the sea. The sea in turn would suffer of kilometre-high waves.
Too destructive for any detailed description of the series of events.
A video describing what would happen if the earth stop spinning gradually in one year time -say because of orbital resonance with some rogue planets - would leave the possibility to describe a series of very interesting events. It would be game over anyway tho...

@robshnob123

2y↑4

An impact wouldn't even need to happen to stop the spin, a similar size object hurdling by in the opposite direction would significantly reduce speed, if not all together, due to gravitational forces.

@zekesanchez1851

2y↑1

If the moon is responsible for the earth's decreased rotational spin due to its pull, then won't its gravitational effect also decrease due to the moon's rate of separation from earth? The moon is slowly going further away from earth.

@twocvbloke

I remember a documentary that postulated this idea, but they also did a different take with the earth slowing to a stop over a short period of years, where humanity, and life in general, could survive to an extent, just not easily, with that ring continent being a pretty unpleasant place, especially over the equator as the air would be so thin, that it'd be extremely difficult to breathe, as just like the oceans and seas, the atmostphere would gather at the poles, along with being blasted off by solar events cos of the lack of the magnetic field effect...

There are other imaginary scenarios to analyse.
1) What if the Moon gets away, slowly.
2) What if the Earth is pushed away from its orbit; but not along the ecliptic though, as it could crash into the other planets. Say the Earth is pushed to the north of the solar system, which has itself an angle of 60° with respect to the Galactic plane.
3) What if the Solar System is pushed out at 90° of its orbit, 27K lightyears around the Galactic centre; one orbit of the Galaxy takes 250K years tho. I can't immediately think of the consequences....

@chadh.johnson3550

2y↑1

If the earth suddenly stopped spinning would the moons gravitational pull start it spinning slowly in the other direction? And would that slowly increase? What happens if they both spin in the same direction at the same speed? Would there be an eclipse every day as the moon came around? I don't think they thought the moons influence all the way through.

I only partially agree with the 6 month day cycle and 6 month night cycle. While yes the sun would be visible for only 6 months of the year we would still be able to use the moons cycle as a unit of time for day and night technically. So probably for about every 3 month of a year we would see the sun and moon at the same time which is pretty cool. And the for the other 6 months of the year we would have 3 months of the moon and then probably 3 months of darkness. Although each of those 3 months are cumulative and not consecutive. So half a month each month basically

Correction at the end: If the moon tidally locks the earth, it wouldn’t stop the earth’s rotation completely. It will reach its equilibrium at the earth’s rotating once every 27 days, the same length as the moon’s orbital period. Taking the earth’s rotation around the sun into account, it will give us around 30 days to reach one cycle of day and night

If the Earth was tidally locked due to the Moon, a day on Earth would be 1 month, not 1 year, as that would be the time it would take for the Earth-Moon system to revolve around each other

@malikrudd3640

Thanks cause i was about to say the exact same thing. But i also would like to consider this. I think we would actually be able to use the moon as a new time system. We would still have a constant sun for 6 months approximately and then the 6 months without the sun while all still having the moon be the basis of that new cycle of time.

WHY would earth and moon revolve around each other? The moon revolves around earth because of earth’s greater g pull. There’s no way a planet would be tidally locked to a moon revolving around it!

@terranovarain6570

Just pointed out a mistake I made in my comment
Tidally locked means the earth would rotate once a year meaning the same side would always face the sun so infinite night on one side infinite day on the other

But you are absolutely correct if it stopped spinning a day would be a year

@arthurmartin4616

While the 250+ mph wind speed is technically correct, the highest windspeed is the tristate tornado with 300+ mph winds.

@nickvogler560

Consider vectors which exist in 3 dimensions and since equal opposite forces cancel each other, the rotation could be stopped through things such as a solar flare in the opposite way the earth is spinning.

@Karthos1000

Actually, the earth's spin has been speeding up recently. (Only by a miniscule fraction of a second each year.) Scientists aren't sure why, but one possibility is the polar ice caps melting.

@Accelos

For most of whatever is said in this video, never. Because the slowing of spin in the earth is so miniscule that by the time it happens it would've been slowed towards the point where the only real thing that would've happened is that there would be no 24 hour day/night cycle on earth and would act like mercury. But the intense wind storms, tsunamis and what not wouldn't happen since there is no more momentum to send the wind/ocean flying.

It if happened, the best place to be would be planes in the sky (apart from the poles). Planes move relative to the air. Since the air wouldn't stop asap, they wouldn't be destroyed by 1000mph winds.
Passengers would see the ground below suddenly starting to move like crazy.
I don't know however, how they would land. Painfully, I guess.

15:12 correction, the Earth did not stop the spin of the Moon. The Moon spins in 29.5 days and its revolves around the Earth in the same 29.5 days. We see the same face of the Moon because both its rotation and revolution have the same length.

15:55 Another correction, the sidereal day is 23h56 while the solar day is 24h. The first one is a 360 degrees rotation, while the second one brings the Sun at the same place in the sky.

@carminefragione4710

The Earth has three basic planetary motions. Revolving around the Sun, complicated by the Sun and other Stars circling the Milky Way , etc. , but then the Earth rotates on a axis and then the axial line tilts and rolls around in a third motion . Thus the Sun usually rises in the East , but if the axis of this rotation was to wobble and keel over and tumble , then the Sun may appear to rise in the West, but a conversation of matter and energy would keep the Earth stable , while the three motions continue to vary. It is like a spinning top wobbling around, and like a gyroscope magnetically attached to a rail, spins clockwise on top of the rail but can tumble over to the bottom of the rail , held by the magnetism but yet spinning now counter clockwise with respect to the observer. So the Earth can have an observable time of the Sun standing still, if the Earth is tilting over on it's axis on route to changing it's observed direction of rotation , just like a gyro would do , if you have observed this effect. Rather than stop rotating, the Earth wobbles and tilts over , reversing the appearance of the direction of it's spin, but because the Earth has not really stopped at all, the observer on the Earth may not feel any strange force or sudden calamity of disaster.

@jmanj3917

2y↑3

Yup. Except that no rotation wouldn't INCREASE temperatures. A lack of motion means a lack of energy being put into the system. The less something moves, the less its temperature. No rotation would mean that the earth would LOSE all of its current systems and their flows. Eventually the dark side would freeze. The lit side would heat up. All flows would would then come from the border between the two tidal sides. But the earth wouldn't "heat up" because it stopped spinning. It would cool. DA.

@ReneF1R

Why does this example takes a universe where earth stop spinning instantly instead of slowly comes to a stop? I'm sure the results would be much less catastrophic. Love how it's always worst case scenario 🙃

@andrewlindenfeld6222

Correction, once the earth is slowed down by the moon as much as it possibly can be, both bodies reach an equilibrium… The length of day on earth will be as long as it takes the moon to orbit the earth, so around a month, not a year. The moon will never completely stop the earth from spinning. Instead both bodies will be tidally locked with each other with one side of the earth always facing one side of the Moon. Once the earth isn’t rotating under the tidal bulge, there’s no more friction to slow down the rotation, thus the two bodies will “lock faces”, and the earth will rotate to always have the same part face the same part of the moon. The sun will engulf the earth/moon system long before that happens though.
