one of my many fantasies is to witness the globe halt its rotation and observe how the world functions without gravity, with the remaining surviving humans who are not trapped in a state of suspended animation

Wait, maybe I misunderstood your cast, but if Earth stopped rotating, gravity would still be the same

In fact it would (very very slightly) increase because the centrifugal rotation acts against it, especially at the equator

The very very slight increase in gravity will last as long as there is no centrifugal force, i.e., as long as Earth is not rotating

But tbh it probably won’t even be felt by humans. Gravity will be ~ as usual because it comes from the mass under our feet, not from the rotation of the planet

Shiii 🤣 pardon my science then, so the slight increase is perhaps momentarily?
