We've had the flat earth, we've had the hollow earth, we've had the donut earth…but
What if the earth was shaped like a cube.
Lets imagine, right now on life's biggest questions.
Hello and welcome back to life's biggest questions, the channel that imagines the impossible.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Yes, a cubed earth is impossible, but that doesn't mean
that it's not interesting to think about.

For the record, theres no such thing as a cubical planet, but Back in 1884, a swiss
astronomer claimed that he discovered a cubical planet that was beyond Neptune.
The astronomer was named Arndt, and the new york times even did a piece about it called,
the cubical planet.
The article basically debunked the claim, citing a physicist Dr. Theodore Vankirk.
Less than 100 years later, another man claimed to have found a cubical earth.
All the planets in our solar system, as well as our sun are spheres.
And actually, most larger objects are spheres, and you've got gravity to thank for that.
The more massive an object is, the greater its gravitational force is.
When a massive object is forming, mass builds up the pressure of the weight the majority
of the material becomes liquid, and therefore, the object forms a sphere.
As far as we know, all large objects in the universe are spherical.
And no I'm not talking about comets and asteroids, those objects aren't large enough
so that their gravity moulds them into a sphere.
I'm talking about moons, planets and stars.
There would be many differences between a cubical planet earth and a spherical planet
earth.
Starting things off with gravity.
Gravity on our planet pulls us downward, so that we stand up straight, But what if the
earth were a cube?
Based on our current understanding of gravity, the force increases toward the center of gravity.
For this reason, gravity would be at its strongest at the center of each face of the cube.
The earth would have 6 different faces, each side would be 10 thousand kilometers long,
and the corners would be 8 thousand seven hundred kilometers from the center.
And that would definitely have an effect on everyone and everything on earth.
Gravity on our planet pulls us downward, so that we stand up straight, But that definitely
wouldn't happen if the earth were a cube.
Gravity would pull us toward the center of each face.
So we would be able to stand up straight if we were at the center of each face of the
cube, but not if you were standing closer to the edge.
As you travelled toward each edge of the cube, gravity would pull you harder and harder toward
the center of each face.
It would feel like climbing up a very very steep hill, even if the face you were walking
on was completely flat.
Because it is so difficult to get to the edge of each face, its quite likely that life on
the faces would exist independently, not knowing of each other's existence.
Life would evolve in different ways on each face of the planet, almost as if each face
were its own separate planet.
the water on our earth would be drawn toward each face of the cube, so that each face had
a dome ocean.
All the edges of the earth would be barren, rocky and they wouldn't have any water on
them.
They would also be devoid of atmosphere, and likely devoid of life.
The corners would stick out of the atmosphere of the earth.
The atmosphere is held down by gravity, but if the earth were cube shaped, the atmosphere
would gather toward the center of each face.
Weather would be very different on a cubical earth, but it all depends how the cube rotated
on its axis.
If the cube rotated through the faces so that its top and bottom face were parallel, then
The top of the cube and the bottom of the cube would have weather consistent to that
of the poles, and each face of the cube would have weather consistent to that of weather
at the equator.
There wouldn't be many places on the cube that would have similar weather to that of
north America or Europe.
But, on the other hand, if the cube rotated on its axis on its corners, that's a different
story.
All of the faces would have relatively temperate weather, and no part of the cubed earth would
have polar or equatorial weather.
All life would have to exist on each face of the cubed earth, where there would be a
thick atmosphere.
It is quite possible that each face of the planet would have its own distinct ecosystem.
To the inhabitants of earth, each corner would look like an enormous mountain, and travelling
toward the edges would feel like you were travelling up an enormous mountain too.
Well there you have it, but before I wrap up this video, I'm going to respond to some
of your comments.
These were from my last video, what if the sun disappeared for 5 seconds.
Mr Green – Wow really amazing content and great video.
hey thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
JustEdgar – What if einsteinw as never born.
This is a very good question, maybe even a future topic on this channel.
The mysterious u tuber – what if everyone woke up as an almond.
I would probably cover myself in chocolate and eat myself.
Khuzamia Mughal – YOU GUYS ARE BETTER THAN MY SCIENCE TEACHER.
Chude existe – what if my socks were tongues.
Im not sure but that puts a really weird image in my head.
