When The Earth Doesn't Turn

[The Starmaker]

So, as everyone knows...eventually the earth will stop turning.

So does that mean there will always be a
dark side of the earth?

I guess that is where all the dark people will be living...

Doesn't turn means it stops spinning. Eventually the earth will stop spinning..stop spinning on it's axies, not stop orbitting the sun.

Again,

Only if Earth stopped orbiting as well.

Imagine a non-spinning tennis ball,
orbiting around a lamp.

Does it have a ( permanent ) dark side ?

No, it does not.
Its "day" last the same time as it's "year".

All places on a non-spinning Earth would have polar days and polar nights,
both deeper than is usual for poles.

Permanent darkness would require
synchronized orbiting and spinning,
as the Moon has.

That requires strong tidal forces,
that are much stronger for the Moon in Earth gravity
than for the Earth in the Sun gravity.

the moon is what makes the earth spin..when the moon moves away completely, the earth will stop...spinning. Am I wrong?

Days will never end...
It could be hit but that would only average its
angular momentum; giving a continued rotation forever.

That is rotation and it doesn't interact into
the distance... empty and then not...
That Action at a distance is a mistake.
Where is your measurement?

Rotation, in contrary to translation, is absolute*.

Interferometers based on Sagnac effect measures absolute angular speed/velocity.

So do fictitious forces like Coriolis one relate to absolute rotation.

* at least in classical physics. In ToR, this value depends on mutual speed wrt observers.

Okay, I need to step back because I was under the assumption everyone knows it is our Moon that makes our Earth...spin.

When the moon pulls the earth to create tides...at the same time it causes the earth to...spin.

You know, go round and round on it's own axis...spin...like a top.

The pull by the moon is spinning the earth.


Now, as the moon slowly leaves our solar system...away from the earth...

the earth slows down, slow spinning..

eventually the earth stops spinning.


Now, what part of this you don't understand???


If you spin a ball, it ...spins.

If you stop spinning the ball...it's stops spinning.


Now, what part of this you don't understand???

Yes, you are.
The Moon does exactly the opposite.

The Moon is very slowly stop Earth to spin via tidal force.

The Earth on the other hand gives its rotation energy to Moon,
pushing Moon to higher orbits.

But is is very tiny effect.

The Moon spins the earth in the exact way a person spins a ball...


you put one finger behing the bal, and the other finger in the front of the ball...

and you force your finger behind the ball to pull the ball to the right...

the Moon pulls the earth from behind and pulls...


i mean, i'm gettin the impression yous don't understand the 'function' of the Moon...it is a machine.



It has many functions...

it makes rain
it makes oceans
it ...

spins the earth...

I think you're thinking of a "phase-locked" state, in which the
Earth would always turn the same side towards the sun. At that
point, yes, there would be a dark side of the Earth, just as
there is a side of the Moon that never sees the Earth.

But there is no "dark side of the Moon," because the Moon circles
the Earth and shows now one face, now another, towards the Sun.

Possibly you saw _Close Encounters_ once upon a time and
misunderstand the scientists referring to their secret base in
Montana as "the dark side of the moon"? That's a metaphor, which
is a figure of speech where you say A and really mean B.

Metaphor is a rich and productive part of writing, especially
poetry. Dante's _Commedia_ is a gigantic metaphor on four
levels. But here's a short metaphor, short enough for me to
quote:

The Rose Family

The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose--
But were always a rose.

-- Robert Frost

The first eight lines describe various members of the Rosaceae.
The last two lines are a metaphor.

Earth in the phase-locked state would still turn, as Moon does.

It will be engulfed by the expanding sun before that happens, and the
Earth will certainly become uninhabitable first, because the sun is
getting hotter.

Unless humans find a way to move the Earth.

Well, yes. Did you ever read C. S. Lewis's _Out of the Silent
Planet_, in which the protagonist is kidnapped off-planet and
discovered that interplanetary space was always full of light?
"I thought that space was cold and dark," he says at one point,
and his kidnapper says contemputously, "Forgotten the Sun?"

Of course, Lewis was a classical scholar, not a physicist or an
astronomer, and didn't realize that on Earth we see the Sun's
light diffused through the atmosphere. It's a nice image,
though, even if inaccurate.

The earth will be engulfed (vaporized) by our red giant sun long before it's rotation slows enough to have one side facing the sun. Furthermore, life as we know it may not extend into the future more than a couple of centuries at the most.

Well, I trust you do know that _Alice in Wonderland_ was written by
Charles Dodgson, also an academic, under the pseud Lewis Carroll.

Lewis wrote the seven Narnia books for children, the first
dedicated to his goddaughter. He also wrote on medieval
literature and the history of medieval thought, and a whole
slew of popular-level books on Christian theology, beginning
with _Mere Christianity_ (where "mere" means "lowest common
denominator"), which began as a series of radio lectures intended
for servicement in WWII.

I assume they were recorded for rebroadcast by the BBC; I wonder
if the recordings still exist. I'd love to hear them, for I
understand that Lewis had a big, booming voice, and that his
colleague Tolkien gave (a description of) his voice to Treebeard
in _The Lord of the Rings._ ("Hoom!")

Don't Worry California: Plate Tectonics On Earth Will Halt In Just 1.45
Billion Years

Trevor Nace Senior Contributor
Science

The San Andreas Fault in the Carrizo Plain of California. WIKIPEDIA
Make sure you pencil this into your long-term calendar, estimates place
the death of plate tectonics here on Earth at 1.45 billion years from now.

The existence of plate tectonics on Earth makes it quite unique,
bringing with it a constant recycling of material and gasses, along with
the creation of mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, and topography. Our
love/hate relationship with plate tectonics will come to an unfortunate
end according to a new study published in the journal Gondwana Research.

Qiuming Cheng, a geologist with the China University of Geosciences took
what we know about Earth's history and how plate tectonics has evolved
over the past several billions of years to project what we can expect
into the future.

The polynomial modeled result estimated plate tectonics would cease
around 1.45 billion years from now. The model sought out to determine
the future evolution of Earth's mantle, the driving mechanism for plate
tectonics. By examining the tectonic history of Earth, Cheng found that
both the intensity and periodicity of magmatic activities has declined
over the past 3 billion years, laying out a framework for the rate of
cooling within Earth's interior.

Global map of plate tectonics.
Global map of plate tectonics. USGS
By extrapolating how quickly Earth has cooled in the past, Cheng modeled
a nonlinear cooling into the future. The extrapolation placed the death
of plate tectonics in the year 1,450,002,018. While we clearly need not
worry about an event occurring over a billion years from now, scientists
can use our understanding of the impacts of a plate tectonic-less world
to study other planets.

What Would Happen If Plate Tectonics Stopped?

When plate tectonics does stop here on Earth, the world will quickly
(geologically) be a very different place than it is today. First, we can
all welcome the end of earthquakes and volcanoes as the mantle will be
too cool for molten rock to move beneath Earth's crust. As the plates
cease moving the world will essentially be frozen in time in its current
configuration, i.e. no more supercontinents, the opening of oceans, or
growing mountain ranges.

Erosion will become the primary factor in controlling Earth's surficial
features, grinding down mountains and sending that sediment into oceans.
Eventually, the tallest mountains on Earth will be eroded down to small
rolling hills. However, the mountains have not simply disappeared, they
were transported largely into Earth's oceans. This would cause oceans to
fill up with sediment to a much larger extent compared to today. The
filling of oceans by eroding mountains would cause sea level to rise.
This, in conjunction with the lack of mountains, could lead to flooding
across large expanses of continents. In essence, Earth could turn into a
water world.

Ocean
There are big question marks as to what Earth would do to release heat
from radioactive decay within Earth's interior. Currently, it does so
through plate tectonics and volcanism but if those cease, another avenue
of heat release would likely pick up. In addition, the regulation of
gases within Earth's atmosphere would change significantly as plate
tectonics is a primary factor in the recycling of carbon dioxide gas
from the atmosphere and into Earth's interior.
