Could any of the scientists here give us a brief outline of what would happen if:
1. The earth stopped rotating on its axis.
2. If the Earth was to stop and then start rotating on its axis again, but in the opposite direction.
If any of the answers to the two questions are positive, is there any evidence that you know of to support this in the last 3500 years?
I'd like a scientific viewpoint from the people familiar with science.
Cheers.
Brian.
