@SpaceGodzillaYT But the Moon gets Karma

@SpaceGodzillaYT when moon is tired of people coming on it for no reason

A little too high a price to pay in order to have a view like Saturn! Loved this one so much!

I mean, a better and less catastrophic solution (albeit a very time-consuming one) is to mine the moon and insert the extracted lunar rock into a lower orbit around the Earth. Although, you may not want those rocks in too low of an orbit or they’ll succumb to orbital decay before the rings can be fully assembled.

Spoilers dude

@The Outer God agreed

Or is it?

so, you love killing more than half of the human population?

Literally just had a dream where the moon crashed into earth. Good to know that what would happen in reality was much much more scarier than my dream. Thanks!

@Todd Boyce no I have a superpower something and I was sitting at my balcony maybe at night and starting at moon and when a point my hand at move it moves as same as my hand move than I pull my hand it becoming bigger and then I rotate my hand 360 then it keep getting bigger and starting revolting the earth at high speed then moon get so much bigger it's about to crash then I wake up. That was the dream I saw somethings similar to video

@Todd Boyce True, I cannot predict a nuclear apocalypse, what I meant was that the moon is probably still going to be in orbit by the time the sun dies and humanity would have either moved to a different planet or died out by then.

@Akshit student What was it like? Did the moon actually hit earth? Did humanity drown? Were there M 9.5 earthquakes?

@Vanilla No, we won't go extinct by than. Name a way we could go extinct. And don't just say "Oh there will be a nuclear war" because you don't know if that will happen. So if (And that's a rather tiny if) human species survives long enough for the moon's ascent to become a problem. Well, that society would probably be advanced enough to move to Mars.

I had also the same dream 2 months ago

It's actually insane how we can actually survive this, or even have a general idea of what's going on just a few hours after "the switch". Even if something awful happens it's very likely that humanity will not go extinct, even if we have a hard time.

@Rohith G Good point.

@Marius Tan The immediate ground zero was liquified into molten whatever when the asteroid made landfall. You can checkout experiments for determining the effects of hypervelocity if you want the full scientific explanation. I'm just a guy on YouTube comments. Also, moon chunks would be of much, much larger size than the chicxulub impactor.

@Rohith G How does ground even liquify? The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs didn't immediately bring hell to earth.

@Marius Tan Enough chunks of the moon with enough mass moving at enough speeds when crashing into the earth's surface would liquify the ground zeroes on impact from the energies involved. And since it's the moon? Every variable mentioned would be just enough.

@Shadow Boom Yeah, I'm confused. How would the entire earth be molten? Sure maybe heated up or c=frozen because of the effects shown by the video, but why would the entire earth become a game of floor is lava?

Could you imagine surviving a year of absolute misery to see the most beautiful thing any human will ever see? That would be enough motivation for me to survive

@Laven You cannot do that. Not without magic.

I would just do it like rose in titanic and tear a door off it's hinges and make it a raft.

@Ben Scheurer It'd be worth the wait.. Or not.. depends if we already get screwed over by the ash or something we did by the time it clears

You would have to wait years for all of the volcanic ash to clear.

And enough motivation for me to push the moon to the earth!

Question is even if we survive would the earth be habitable to us still? Life would probably bounce back but the question is if it's complex life and if we're part of that.

@unkindled Hahaha Earth gets hit by more Asteroids than the moon because earth is so much bigger than the moon. Don't be stupid, rings can't blot out the sun ENTIRELY, let alone make earth never get sunlight again. The remaining countries would likely build a very powerful laser, so powerful that it blows off the ash clouds. My god, you are so dramatic about the rings. You don't know if the rings fall, they must slow down, normally wind resistance slows objects down, but space has no wind nor air.

tides would be unexistent and the ocean level would be fixed. meteor showers would be very frequent as not only pieces of the ring would start falling eventually but we dont have anything protecting us from stray ones anymore (its the reason the moon has craters) most if not all plant life would have died out and the global climate would be completely reshaped by the volcanic ash if the leftover ones + the ring blocking the sunlight dont set a new ice age like mentioned in the video.

This episode was absolutely spectacular. The animation of the moon collapsing into a set of rings was extraordinarily well done.

The rings are worthy of the wait of 12 months

This episode goes hard

This is all rubbish sell gold buy platinum.hydrogen industry needs platinum as CATALYZERS.platinum is white gold...gold is not rare metal.There are so many metal every metal has their own uses..///....

it was 3d

That image of the newly ringed Earth gave me chills Absolutely great video! EDIT: woah this is the most likes i've gotten on a yt comment thanks yo

@Todd Boyce it's something akin to the uncanny valley for me. I'm used to the sight of the moon intact. So a moon-ring is unsettling to me. It's not about the imaginary reality of the scenario.

@Todd Boyce yes thats exactly it

@ten-chan I would like to ask a question: What is so horrifying of a habitable Saturn? If the moon actually was falling into earth, would you rather have severe earthquakes, daily tsunamis, and -The entire world being Canada- a forever winter? Or have beautiful rings in the sky?

ACK, IT IS A HABITABLE SATURN, YOU MAY HAVE NIGHTMARES FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, AHHHHHH

It's so beautiful, I took a screenshot of it and it's now my wallpaper

I just realized, you know how hard it would be for a civilization to get into space when they have rings?

@Condor of course it's possible, in fact it's probably a very minor inconvenience compared to figuring out the fuel, the weight, testing it, etc, I'm just saying it's gonna be harder, given the fact there's a massive barrier you can't pass without yet another couple innovations, that has its own set of time and weight and safety and whatever.

@Versa MaxWell, it depends on your ship. If we perhaps want to send a probe to study the debris in depth, we could add shock-absorbant layers and Kevlar as used onto the ISS to protect said probe. And, on big enough debris, we might create a settlement. By running some fancy math(Fg=GM1M2/r2), the gravitational forces between the hypothetical debris onto which a settlement could be created and another close with similar mass would perhaps allow for some tether to be attached to as to line them or study them.

@Versa Max Yes, and the debris from the Moon would orbit on the Roche limit, and the ISS and most satellites orbit at around 400 km. So, while meteor showers may harm said satellites, they won’t orbit inside the ring system.

I think it would be hard, because I think the rings will be mostly present at the equator, where most rockets launch to gain advantage of the Earth’s rotation, but we will still be able to travel into space, by launching in, say, Florida or Baïkonur. So overall, it would be harder, but it’s just a small adjustment that has to be made in order to overcome the challenge.

@Versa Max I see, so there's that difference, thanks.

Good video, but I'd say it depends on how fast the moon is flung on the planet. If it is slingshot fast, it can bypass becoming a ring system and be one impact body. I say this because of the Mars-size Object Theory that is mentioned could have impacted the Earth to create the Moon in the first place.

lol the majoras mask moon scene was awesome. thanks for that.

there are a few other game reference as well. vault 111 is my favorite.

"According to science, the Moon is big and very massive" Spoken like a true master of sciencing 💜

the moon is more massive than sagittarius A*

Thats what she said

@Music Noah listen here you little sh-

*Head explodes*

@Music Noah for example, it’s actually quite small and tiny when compared to my di

This is remarkable content amazing!

What do you use to generate the graphics (actual video)?

Wow I really enjoyed it, it was like a movie to me

Even before the Moon reaches the Roche Limit, it would, in its own right, start experiencing volcanism! This is because all the tidal kneading on the Moon would exert enough friction to heat the Moon's interior to the point of melting. This is the reason why the Jovian moon Io has active volcanoes.

@Emalan yea man I fuckin love that game

@CrasherX 2000 A fellow Outer Wilds enthusiast in the... wild!

So would it be a case of Hollow’s Lantern from Outer Wilds? Where active volcanos on the moon erupt violently and rain down lava and ash from way high up in the sky?

You know what the crazy thing is? My wife was watching a HermitCraft season end video yesterday where the moon crashes into the planet, and I thought to myself; "I wonder if Kurzgesagt has done a video on the moon crashing into earth yet?" And if I had acted on that thought and searched 12 hours ago, the answer would have been no.

@Peter Lane tenía que hacer el chavo El Chavo Del 8

Adelante No atrás Cuando yo te digo adelante quiero decir que prósigas con tu relato.

Several years ago, Grian commented a Kurzgesagt video saying something like "Man, I love this channel!" Maybe they watch each other now.

Why did I have to scroll so far to see anything relating to HermitCraft. I don't think this video is a coincidence.

@Sapphire what the hell is that got to do with anything interesting

Would "moon rings" really look like that though? The video shows them looking similar to Saturn's rings, which are made of ice rather than stone.

if it shatter in enough pieces maybe. they still reflect light.

I would appreciate the rings, but I’ll miss the moon.

It’s beautiful when the earth has rings but it’s sad cuz then we doesn’t have any moon :(

i want to live during this.

If only the plot of Moonfall was this good. The movie focused too much on why the moon was falling and not enough on the effects it would have on earth and civilisation.

@cammandooooobeast Shut up already bot.

@Juicy_Oranges Bro, don't look for logic behind his comment, you're probably talking to an immature 9 yo kid haha.

@Ketamime I meant the fact that people would not start floating up into the air because the earth's gravity is too strong. But yes, I know what you mean when you say that is a dyson sphere made by aliens and it has different gravitational properties to the actual moon.

The thing that really broke it for me with moonfall was the idea of a white dwarf floating inside the shell that is the moon. White dwarves are closer to Earth-sized, just with the mass of our sun. You couldn't make a white dwarf tiny enough to fit in the moon. And the gravity on a white dwarf would be around 30 times that of Earth, meaning the gravitational pull when the moon is close enough (at the end of the movie) to be clipping off mountaintops would instantly shred anyone on or near the surface. It was just too much disbelief to suspend. I suppose you could argue that this midget sized dwarf would have significantly less mass, but even at a 10th the mass, it would still be enough g's to render people unconscious.

Civilisation! Why talk when nobody's forced you??

I’m getting Majora’s mask vibes from this video

1:59 that is majora's mask 2:02 that is the moon form majora's mask also the way he wrote the first month, last month, how many km are remaining, a new month, is just like dawn first day, 72 hours remaining and dawn of the last day 24 hours remaining and the new day when you finish the game

I absolutely love this channel because in literally any apocalyptic scenario you would know what the next stage is and would have boatloads of time to prepare

I love how Kurzgesagt puts their sponsors at the end of the video so if people actually are interested in the sponsor, then they can watch it, but if people don't care then they don't have to sit through the sponsor segment

And many of us watch anyway to support Kurzgesagt even if we already own or pay for the product / service at the end

*literallly explains the plot of moonfall*

Except this actually ends with volcanic ash screwing everyone over and Moonfall ended with MOST of the human population dead.

Man, how can Steve Taylor convey so many emotions in a so stable voice, gets me thinking from "Haha very funny" to "That's terrifying". Love the channel, congrats to all.

HIS NAME IS STEVE?!?!?!

@𝙝𝙖𝙢 You kind of need to know someone's name if you want to hire them...

@MARANDRHETTE yeah. True.

@Victoria Zero ...to dork or not to dork, that is the question? ...wait, did I just out-dork you? ... that. is. way. too. meta... ... *brain exploded* 😁

@𝙝𝙖𝙢 its more like you stumble on it. not go on a full on quest and everything. Is taking the time reading the credits really weirder than reading all the coments? ... once you're bored enough 😁

Love the video! Btw what do you use to make these videos

Adobe illustrater, after effects and cinema 4d

Ducks!

I'm coming to watch all these videos and I can't get over the soundtrack tht he has for every video OMFG ITS SO GOOD

The moon is actually going 1 meter per year

I really want a movie of this

@Krio the Wolf that movie is a kid scribble. Not any better than the movie "2012". I wouldn't call it a movie.

We already have Moonfall...

i want a game surviving the whole process..

This would actually be really great for a movie. The stages the earth go though almost mirror the creative decisions that directors use to make the story entertaining lol. It’s also an epic topic

Check “Moon fall” It will be releases this year

Moonfall.

Wouldn't become a movie cos it has a sad ending. Humans only like movies with happy outcomes.

just play majors mask

@Noah S I actually believe that's what inspired this video

The moon doesn’t move sideways around the Earth… it goes in a straight line within a curved geometry caused by Earth’s mass…

I absolutely love how the music at 8:56 starts off as peaceful and hopeful to haunting at10:23 when we see an Earth resembling Saturn. As this video demonstrated, an Earth with beautiful rings comes at a colossal price.

This was such a scary experience for me, as someone who is fascinated by the moon and seeing the way it could affect us if it begins to shine a little brighter or appear more larger will always remind me of this video, the transition from assurance to earth having its own rings will forever scar me

I want a TV show based off of this scenario where we watch a society slowly collapse over one year as the moons orbit decays. I wanna see how the characters would deal with all that

You can try the TV series "Salvation". Instead of the moon it's an asteroid but it pretty much fits what you're looking for.

Can you imagine if this was an apocalypse survival game, and at the end, the final scene is emerging from a bunker to the view of moon rings and the sunrise? That would be awesome.

It would probably take thousands of years for the moon pieces to spread equally. But even before that it would look awesome when you see the rocks passing by twice a day or so. Like orbital clouds.

@Francesco Favro If you like the idea of scavenging during low-tide and then hiding from the water, you may like to try Rainworld. And then you wouldn't like the idea anymore. (?

I don’t think a bunker would survive

@Chief Master omg yes, I would pay great money for a game like that

@Senseless Inductor Don't worry, Telltale practically doesn't exist by this point after all the layoffs they've done.

That last image of the Earth with a ring around it gave me chills.

*but*

I thought the music in that shot sounded eerie, yet hopeful. Hope for a new world built on a old one. The rings for me symbolizes a new point in history, a new, not alien buy certainly unfamiliar world, and that humanity can push through it.

Hopefully, IF ever there are still humans to experience that kind of event, it would be a very quick death for everyone, except some or most part of the world where there are massive riot, people killing each other because why not? who would arrest them? why not try to break as much law as possible while you still can with very little time.

same.

Brilliant video as always, I learned a lot. I was watching the video for the 3rd time, but still it felt amazing and entertaining with tons of knowledge. Thanks for making such wonderful content.🥰

Theoretically, if a giant asteroid hit the moon, then the apocalypse might begin!!????

The part with scavenging is like a book called grimsdon

The animators for Kurzgesagt must love their jobs. The animations in this episode was awesome.

I must say Animating isn’t fun at all it’s really hard

@Âłøñ what about fire?

@KING4 Gaming water fight

And now they're animating 3D!

I wonder if you can use this quality of animation to make good elemental fight scenes🤔🤔🤔, definitely not the most random thought.

Why wouldn't the newly formed rings continue their spiral towards earth?

I just loved all those Majora's Mask quotes 💜 you guys are great 💜💜

This has got to be one of my favorite videos of your guys’s love the channel keep it up

What a brilliant concept this was. One of my favorite videos on YouTube. There need to be a movie made on this.

So you're telling me Hermitcraft didn't depict the moon crashing into the earth scientifically accurate??

It's worth noting that the HC moon remained geosynchronous throughout it's descent (that's why it rose and fell every night), so it's trajectory was clearly affected by very different forces than what they were calculating in this video

You watch hermitcraft?!??

@Fallion93  SAME!

@Eaglewings 747 Hermitcr-aha-ft's physics are-aha-pants

@Screm I bet you can’t remake it better

Can i just say whoever created the backing track for this episode... OMG IT"S AMAZING!!! I want to play it in sets when im DJing it's so damn good 🔥

if the moon is orbeting would that still happen (becuse magic made it fall)

nope

Man, this has got to be the best channel in Youtube. Amazing work. Nerdgasm in every video.

I've been wondering what happens if the moon drifts away to us in the same timespan of this video. Would the exact opposite happen?

i absolutely adore the final shot of earth and its new rings. combined with the music and the rest of the video before it, it’s the perfect conclusion. i can’t stop rewatching that part in particular. makes me feel things man.

So basically, earth has either a chance to become a new Saturn with life on it, or it could also turn into a giant snowball with rings.

I was expecting Moonfall to be exactly like this video But no, me and my mom laughed our heads off at how terrible it got 😂

I love it when they answer these apocalypse questions.

It was actually surprising to hear that the answer isn't "Impact destroys the planet". I never considered that it was possible to survive the moon falling. Edit: Since some of you don't seem to understand what "possible" means, yes, you PROBABLY die. Between the tides, complete destruction of several food webs, shortage of drinkable water, earthquakes, super volcanoes, and chunks of moon that will impact, survival is not probable. What's surprising is that the probability is any fractional amount above 0% because I assumed the Moon falling would mean Mars gets promoted to the 3rd planet.

@TheDarkendstar *than

@Paulo Azuela Like what?

@Sam Well there proven parts at least not mostly on space ofc.

@Paulo Azuela Let’s stick with the first part. If they lie, why would you trust them about anything? Space and the globe are belief systems because no one’s ever seen them apart from on a screen. All we’ve seen is flatness. I agree they’ll do anything for profit, that’s just another reason to question what we’re being told.

@Sam What do you mean, it's genuine that you don't need one right? And ofc the government and sciences always lies. Just wanted you to see the Earth's surface if it's truly flat. You won't die in space, those politicians are lying that we need suits for them. They just won't let us so they gave this stupid idea of expensive space suit rendering a lot common folk to not go to space

this video is really good at explaining this situation from the human perspective

I had this as a dream - that the Moon was falling to Earth and I was in an adventure to Florida for some reason as the news sugg. Florida was somehow the place to survive this impact. It was very memorable and like a movie.

I want a movie about this

Moonfall

Whoever is the motions and animations artist of these videos is just amazing

Imagine if the movie Moonfall actually portrayed this. Instead of being a dumb movie, it could be an epic movie with incredible cinematrography. It could even have a beautiful ending, where the people emerge from the rubble and witness an incredible view with the disc around the earth. It would be sad, sure, but it would also be beautiful.

​@BlaDeKke If we would have tides from the sun, we already have tides from the sun! Heck, we have ridiculously tiny tides from Pluto!

I like the movie but i had no idea what was going on half of the time

From what I searched, the plot wouldn't even need to change; the moon did not need to be natural or anything else to do this.

Always wanted a tv show,feature length cartoon or a game with their styling,I hope this dream will become real in the future seeing how far they already grew in their quality of content and the size of their team and work that they throw into making their masterpieces!

Imagine what masterpiece they could do if they partnered with a film/cartoonmaking or gamemaking company with their already great style and skills!

Really respectful of the " youd need actual magic for this to happen " disclaimer. Ps: Jesus what a crazy vid, you guys rock!!

Nice 😊

I've always wondered if the earth gets frozen. Can you make a video for that topic?

This would 100% be worth it and it is an endeavour that humanity should pursue

Can you imagine if this was an apocalypse survival game, and at the end, the final scene is emerging from a bunker to the view of moon rings and the sunrise? That would be awesome.

@ckl Fair enough.

@Gelad And while that movie came out last week I've been hearing about it and/or seeing commercial about it for months. Doesn't take watching the final product to be prompted to ask a question on the basic premise.

On it

Then the sequel starts right afterwards, as a post apoc builder game

MOONPUNK

What I'm wondering is what would happen to the earths wobble if his happens, that's not really mentioned but that would have to be affected by the moon getting closer and then being turned to rings, anyone have an answer?

January 1st, 2012: I have decided to celebrate New Year’s Day by writing a journal. I’m not sure if I will put much interesting in here, so I’ll only write stuff if something exciting or out-of-the-ordinary happens. January 12th, 2012: Something strange is starting to happen. It is most noticeable to people who live on the coastline like me. High tides are getting higher than they normally do and low tides are getting lower than they normally do. People need to be careful to not leave their boats moored too long, or they could be swept away. Astronomers are also reporting that the Moon is getting closer to the Earth at almost unnatural speeds. This may have something to do with the tides, but I don’t know just yet. January 21st, 2012: Normally, the ocean rises and falls half a meter per day, but now, they are rising and falling 4 meters per day. Costal cities are starting to get flooded, so I have decided to move further inland. The Moon also seems to be getting abnormally large in the sky. February 2cd, 2012: The oceans are starting to rise and fall 10 meters per day. Ports are starting to become unusable due to this, slowing down the delivery of lots of supplies. I may not write anything for a few more days, since my pen is starting to run out of ink, and I just ordered a new one. February 19th, 2012: The water is starting to reach communication towers, damaging communication a lot. I don’t think I’ll be writing much, since I’ll need to conserve ink. February 25th, 2012: The decision to live inland does not seemed to have helped much. Lakes are starting to overflow, contaminating plants needed for food. There are a lot of power and gas shortages, as power plants and refineries are often built near coastlines. Getting new supplies is now pretty much impossible. February 29th, 2012: The city has fallen into chaos. Police let people do pretty much whatever they want, as laws don’t really matter anymore. Low tide has turned into scavenging hours, where people gather as much supplies as they like. High tide has turned into a time where most people take shelter in high-rise buildings. The city is split up into clans that scavenge together and take shelter together. I have joined the Ouagadougou clan, which seems to have most of the people who know how to manage resources well, and the best places to get new resources. March 7th, 2012: The Moon is now close enough to disrupt GPS and communications satellites, causing even more chaos around the country. The Ouagadougou clan knows how to work out your position via landmarks, so we have still been able to gather resources. I don’t think I’m going to put down anything else for March. April 19th, 2012: Tides are now nearly as tall as the tallest building, and any clan still doing scavenging hours is risking their life. Me and the rest of the clan have made a boat to lower the new risk of scavenging hours. April 27th, 2012: The buildings are starting to flood. We did one last scavenge, pooled our resources, and built a submarine to take shelter in. Our submarine was swept out to sea by the incredibly fast low tides, and now we can only wait. May 1st, 2012: During a moment of low tide, we ended up on the shore of an Asian county. We didn’t know what, because by that time, it was so chaotic it didn’t matter anyway. We decided to stay where we were, and wait for high tide to come before getting back in. May 7th, 2012: Extreme earthquakes have sprouted everywhere, triggering a lot of volcanic activity. Due to this, we now only get out of the submarine if we absolutely have to. May 24th, 2012: The submarine has been damaged, so a member of the clan was sent out to scavenge resources from a nearby abandoned oil rig. When he returned, he reported the volcanos have gotten so bad, it’s impossible to tell if it’s night or day due to the thick clouds. The extremely bright light of the Moon occasionally shining through the clouds makes it even more difficult, as we can’t tell if it’s sunlight or moonlight. June 19th, 2012: We have been swept away to a place with less volcanos, so we can now see the Moon. It seems to be frozen in the sky, so the tides have settled, too, one half of Earth completely flooded, the other completely dry. We are in the middle of an ocean caused by nonstop high tide, so we are glad we made a submarine. July 27th, 2012: The Moon appears to have contorted itself into an egg shape. That’s about all I have to say. August 3rd, 2012: We are now being constantly thrown around by the incredibly fast tides, causing motion sickness in a lot of the clan. Volcanic activity has become enough to block out the sun everywhere. The result is a permanent, global winter, with a lot of acid rain. No plants are alive at this point. I don’t know if things can get much worse than this. November 25th, 2012: Nothing bad happened, but it’s my birthday today. Not that it matters much at this point. December 9th, 2012: Earth’s gravity is now enough to overpower the Moon’s, so a lot of things from the Moon can be seen out the window. December 25th, 2012: Misery has ended. Out the window, we saw the Moon getting torn to shreds by Earth’s gravity. Oceans are rapidly going back where they came from, and we ended up in some post-apocalyptic city. We can’t leave just yet, because the planet still needs to recover. January 1st, 2013: It’s nighttime, and the acid rain has finally stopped. The toxic clouds have cleared away, and it’s time to leave. We emerged into a winter wonderland, the ground covered in snow, derelict buildings everywhere, and a spectacular view of enormous rings, more beautiful and shining brighter than a full Moon ever could, and nonstop meteor showers everywhere. It’s clear society will take a while to recover, but at least we will get to do it with a spectacular view of what’s left of the Moon.

God damn

Wow

Dr. Eggman has gone too far this time

If u think about it.. This is basicly the Great reset on earth

This was actually a lot more interesting than what I expected from this video, which was just having the moon thrown straight at the earth. It’s obvious how that would end, so I enjoyed this slowly decreasing orbit scenario much more.

well in reality at the ending moon debris should crash on the earth and transform earth surface into magma ocean and burn our ocean and atmosphere

It's called subtle product designing.. er- thingy.. (to make your expectation lower, so that once you viewed it, you simply fall in love with it because it exceed your expectation)

😒

Exactly how I felt! This was way better than the 'way bigger than the dinosaur extinction level event' video I was expecting. Great 'twist' ending too!

Hermitcraft season 8 ending belike finale

i dreamed of this. I looked up and saw the moon so big, then it gets bigger and bigger and stared at it only to realize it was falling. That was one scary dream

@Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell Absolutely Totally Awesome Video, loving it. I recently watched a Apocalyptic movie called: (Moonfall). Although this is not a totally accurate representation. Cause there was technology imbedded with the core of the moon itself. but would like to hear you thoughts about it. Also, would really love if you could do a video on: (If the Earth Core stopped spinning). As well there was another movie I watched quite some time ago called: (The Core), which the Earths core stopped and they restarted it with nuclear bomb. I'm really interested in learning what would actually happen and if it's possible to restart the Core?

The ultimate realization of the phrase "put a ring on it". Geez, the chill of the music on the shot of the ringed Earth. Wonderful work, y'all!

As we know, moon is actually moving away from earth around 3.8cm each year. Would be interesting to have a video about that and how this affect earth.

This needs to be made into a movie NOW. Imagine following a group of survivors through the whole year. Interstellar vibes.

@lukafilm moonfall is a 0/10 compared to this

This is all rubbish sell gold buy platinum.hydrogen industry needs platinum as CATALYZERS.platinum is white gold...gold is not rare metal.There are so many metal every metal has their own uses..///....

@lukafilm Aw man, I was gonna suggest "Lunar Year" for a title. You know, since it takes a year for the moon to fall apart. That can be the low-budget imitation, starring some big name who's trying to get out of debt.

@SeSSioN day after tomorrow is the same director as Moonfall, funnily enough.

Hermitcraft season 8 is that exact thing, just as a series instead of a film

What if we blew up the moon before it got close would that save the eart

"According to science, the Moon is big and very massive." Whoa, slow down there, Poindexter!😂

feels like I just watched a whole apocalyptic movie! this was one hell of a watch!!! Good job💯💯

Man this reminds me of a webtoon I once read where the ocean covered the entire earth and monsters came out of it

This was very packed for a fun scenario video, I loved that. It's clear you try to sneak in things to improve our understanding of science and general knowledge. - How orbits work - How tides work - Internet & underwater cables - Satelites & orbital corrections - Tectonic effects - Geosynchronous orbit - Just lots of physics stuff - Roche limit

@Brian Bellinger The video is very factual, I was just pointing out that this video was pretty high level, and none of the the individual points were covered to any depth. Which is fine, that was the point of the video. It's all factually accurate, tho, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say, here, exactly.

@Aquarius on Zombs Very true! Also, I just love Kurzgesagt, and their pretty unique take on many subjects.

Oh those things should be learnt by playing Kerbal space program

@Aaron Davis Lol, is it because the moon formed from a collision?

I found it weird that they failed to mention the fact that this has actually already happened.

"According to science, the moon is big and very massive." Thanks Kurzgesagt, I never knew this before. :)

The scavenging and rooftops and toiletpaper machines look so cool like it fits in a video game!

What would the environment be like in a situation like that, I wonder? Like, how long would it take for humans to adapt to such a catastrophic change?

I used to think the moon drifting away from Earth was a sad reality

Man, that final shot of a ringed Earth was hauntingly beautiful. Your animation has gotten so good! EDIT: Wow, 1.4K likes...

@slug in tub still I do not want that to happen

@Rasinq.._babies what's your point, it's still beautiful

1.5k now

@Rasinq.._babies 😄yes. But now I am gonna edit my above comment because everyone is correcting me for it and my youtube notifications are blasting me haha

so true! "hauntingly beautiful"

I'm an adult interested in this channel since it helps me understand notions too complex for my low physics expertise. This video still scared me as hell !

It'd be interesting to figure out if an extrasolar body with just the right mass and trajectory could create this scenario. Tricky part is affecting the moon this way without throwing the earth catastrophically out of orbit at the same time

5:19 Tsunami (giant wave)

Would the rings of moon slowly start to come together again and form a new moon or just crash to earth?

Who also wants to see a game set in the post-apocalyptic setting that this video depicts? Volcanos, flooded ruins, broken society, bizarre and vibrant ringed skies with occasional meteor showers of space debris. Would be awesome

Good sir, step into my office we have a Zelda game to show you.

@Ulises im already taking coding class ✊😤

@jr i trust you

It's called Detroit.

This is all rubbish sell gold buy platinum.hydrogen industry needs platinum as CATALYZERS.platinum is white gold...gold is not rare metal.There are so many metal every metal has their own uses..///.....

I love how at the end of almost all their videos. People manage to survive

So you're telling me that all of those dreams I had of a giant moon in the sky have been a lie?

Did you already make a video about what would happen if there weren't the Moon (or if it were replaced by a ring of debris)?

This went from “The moon crashing into us is catastrophic!” to “Let’s simulate the moon crashing into us!”

This is a really interesting concept for a videogame. Every day you have to scavenge for resources before the tide comes, and as the tide grows taller, there are less and less resources. The game could end with the moon's disintegration.

There actually is a game like this about the moon falling after mining changed it's mass u can't remember what it's called but it is about scavenging and all

I know it's already been said, but in don't escape 4, it has a similar concept

Sounds wack

I would pay to play a game like that

Holy shit somebody make this

4:19 This is my favorite part it has such cool detail

A very interesting and innovative question. Very interesting video!

The final month. Which would be December so il assume kursgesagt started this on January. Thanks kursgesagt we thought the world would end on the 21st of December which is my birthday in 2012 but now this time il have a birthday to remember. The final birthday

This was somehow a thrilling and beautiful story even though all it was was a hypothetical explanation. Kürzgesagt could teach an entire college curriculum. Also loved the Fallout 4 reference
