Anyone who has studied physics knows that the Earth's gravitational pull is the key to being able to live on Earth and enjoy the fresh air. However, if Earth's gravitational pull suddenly disappears, even for just five seconds, all life as we know it will end. Here's what might happen five seconds after Earth's gravity disappears.
First of all, gravitational attraction is the force of attraction between objects. The greater the mass of the object, the stronger the gravitational pull;The closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational pull. Because of the massive mass of the Earth and its proximity to us, we are able to walk on the ground and objects can fall to the ground. However, once the Earth loses its gravitational pull, both humans and other objects will be weightless. Just like astronauts in a movie floating on the surface of the moon or in a spaceship, they are able to float because they are far away from Earth, which has less gravity on them and cannot hold them to the ground or the ship's floor.
However, the situation would become even more complicated if the Earth's gravitational pull suddenly disappeared entirely. Humans and other objects with mass will no longer simply float up, but will become "tumbleweeds" that roll fast. This is because the Earth's rotation does not stop, and the connection between the surface objects and the Earth is severed. Imagine that when the Earth rotates, an object that is not bound by gravity will fly off the surface as quickly as if it were ejected. It will be a scene of chaos and destruction, where people and objects will be relentlessly thrown into the air.
In addition to human weightlessness and the flight of objects, the loss of gravity will have catastrophic consequences for the atmosphere, water, and air. Due to the sudden loss of air pressure, the inner ear of all people will burst instantly. This is much stronger than the squeezing sensation you feel when flying or diving. At the same time, without the "binder" of air, the concrete structure will fall apart. Buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure can suffer massive damage.
In addition, after the loss of gravity, the water molecule also undergoes significant changes. Water molecules are made up of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms, and when they lose their gravitational pull, the water molecules will break down into hydrogen and oxygen. This means that the water molecules in every living cell explode in an instant. Although the whole process only takes five seconds, when gravity returns to normal, no one will be able to witness it with their own eyes.
To sum up, even if the Earth's gravitational pull disappears for only five seconds, it will have a series of alarming consequences. Humans and objects will become weightless and become fast-rolling "tumbleweeds", the atmosphere, water and buildings will be wreaked havoc, and water molecules will be turned into hydrogen and oxygen. These changes will happen in just five seconds, and then everything will be over. Therefore, we should cherish the gravitational pull of the earth, which is the basis of our survival and life.
