What Happens If Earth Rotates at Speed of Light?

What Happens if Earth Starts rotating at the speed of light ?

Do you find the time it takes earth to rotate around its axis a lil bit slower? You find it boring and so clumsy? How about if we speed the things up a lot more?

What would happen to length of our day?

What geographical and climate changes may occur? 

Would life survive at that fast spinning? 

This is what Happens and if you are looking for an answer to all these curiosity inciting questions then you are at a very right place. Just stick to this article as all the things will be discussed in details. So here is what happens if we spin our earth at the speed of the light.

The earth makes a full rotation in 23 hours 56 mins and 4.1 seconds. And earth is not moving at the same speed everywhere. The rotational speed varies depending at your distance from the poles. If you are at the equator, the earth moves fastest at the massive speed of 460 meter parsec. And at the north and South pole, it is moving so slow that it can be said it is might not moving at all.

The rotation is the thing that makes earth suitable for life. The day and night cycle keeps the planet at habitable temperature. The rotation of earth is also a deriving force of weather patterns.Even sea tides are affected by earth's sphere. Rotation is if not everything, then it is most for life on earth to stay sustained and rotation keeps the things going including our very time.

So what would happen if we accelerate this rotation, if that might totally destabilize our climate? 

If we increase the speed by 0.45mps, our days would be shorter but only by a minute ad half that we might not notice this change.As this change would be so small to even notice for humanity occupying planet earth. But for sea waters it will be a considerable development. The sea levels would rise by few inches.The water along the poles would migrate towards the equator.

Now if you increase this rotation to 45 meter par second, Imagine what would happen then? Well, in that case, a single day would be about 22 hours and we might need to add few more days to our calenders updating them. This would be so fun having more days into year and more festivals to share with each and other. But this slight change which we take as fun stuff would be dramatic for our sea levels again. As world oceans at the equator will now rise by 9 to 20 meters and cities like New york, Mumbai, and Venice would be submerged,having water all over them and getting drowned. This would be disastrous indeed and this will be sending millions of people into displacement belonging to those particular places.

Now increase that speed by double and make it 920 meter par second, that is dramatic and a catastrophe would strike. The water would cover everything on earth except mount kilimanjaro and highest summits of andes. Satellites which orbits our earth to keep us connected to internet and televisions would be out of sink since they can't match that fast speed. Resultantly, the communication along with all the television broadcast will end. All the military  operation would end too. And you would notice some significant weather changes, the air would be heavy with moisture, dense fog, clouds and constant rain would be a norm in regions near the equator.

What if you still keep speeding things up?.

Well at some point you might fly out of planet that because the force coming from the rotation may overpower the gravity which keeps us on ground. This would happen at the speed of 7886 meter par second. Here you would experience reverse rain. Yeah you heard it correctly, the reverse rain, in the reverse rain the droplets of water would move upwards in the atmosphere instead of coming down. This is shocking to imagine even.

Now if you push this speed to 11000 meter per seconds. What would happen then? Well, the enormous earth waves would rattle the planet and there is little chance that anything on earth can survive in that scenario.

Now if you still speed up things at speed of light, the things would get wild. If the earth rotates at the speed of 299792 kilometers per second that would be 652000 times faster than today. That the dimensions of planet would change, once a sphere the earth would get into a shape of disc and so would humanity along with any other object. Rotating at that extreme speed would distort time on earth and it would slowdown so much that it would eventually stop. And humanity would freeze in time. Also, earth might become a tiny black hole that is because an object moving at speed of light has an infinite mass and nothing would be making out of this situation alive.

Summing up, the earth spinning at speed of light and what happens in that case can only be surmised and gauged on paper but surely can never happen. Because firstly, we humans would die even at speed rates prior to reaching speed of light. Secondly, that is unlikely to happen.
