  • I'm amazed at how Michael discusses so many unrelated topics and somehow ties them all together
  • “ hey Vsauce micheal here. Your doors and windows are locked. Or are they?
  • I first saw this 8 years ago and unfortunately the most memorable part that stuck with me was the ragdoll physics of the animated city ravaged by a halt in rotation. Don't get me wrong, the physics and astronomy are done very well, and I've appreciated it more as I've gone on in my education. The the shear shock factor of giggling at something you really shouldn't, is all too memorable.
  • What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning? Five minutes later: Here’s the official definition of a second...
  • I like how this guy has extreme videos like "what if the sun disappeared" and "what if the earth stopped spinning", and then has videos covering the less extreme topics like "is cereal a soup"
  • 4:18 it was at this moment he changed the topic. He finished the question and talked about time, second, cesium and other stuff. The question ended got answered in 4 minutes time and got into almost unrelated topics. He tricked me into learning what i didnt want to learn. This is why I love you vsause.
  • @Seki1987
    Michael debunked flat Earth theory without even knowing.
  • @tjlambaes
    Micheal them “thanks for watching” Micheal now “Get the latest curiosity box”
  • Great, now I want to see a movie with this as a major plot point
  • I’m pretty sure all of us panicked when we heard the Sun would explode as little kids lol
  • Me: hey Vsauce what’s the time? Vsause: what is time
  • @ByzCSGO
    (slowly bends down to pet the floor) Keep spinning bro
  • The title: normal question The thumbnail: “ W I N D . “
