If the earth stopped spinning.......would we all die?

[Lord Hakk]

so the earth just works like one big generator? wow...

I rather like the idea of the Earth stopping abruptly:hihi:

Either we would be slingshoted into they sky (possibly space?):thumbs_up

or crushed under our own weight as centrifugal force gives way and gravity takes full effect:hihi:

Or like the goodies in soup swirled round with all sort of debris an splatted against and or between large moving and immovable objects (mountains, cars, and buildings and such):hihi:

 

As for the earths speed ...RPM?????? No no no RPD! 1 revolution every 24 hours.

And the experience would vary depending on where you were with regard to the equator...At the poles you likely wouldn't notice anything for a long while...At the equator you are traveling at (the earth's diameter divided by 24)MPH (so you'd verry likely notice)...above or below the equator proportionally slower. There would probably be some pretty impressive winds and waves as the seas and the atmosphere would likely keep going for a bit. ( much like the way water keeps goin for a bit when you stir it in a pan.)
