This video is typical psuedo -science mumbo jumbo

Are you trying to use your finite earth mind to figure out the incomprehensible existence of the vast universe we were born into without knowing we were coming here. Were you to live a billion life times you could not do it. Try instead to have God Almighty open up your understanding to the Word of God in the KJV 1611 Bible where many verses from him say the earth does not move. At least get a good starting point for your meditations on science.

Are you drunk? so confusing.

After all, what was going on at the very beginning to make the Earth rotate? Impact of a strong collision? If so, why that so-called collision did not simply resulted in a wide shift of the Earth position in the Solar System, instead of making the Earth spinning? They talk all the time about "moment of inertia" that kept the Earth afterwards spinning since there is nothing to force it stop its rotation. Despite the beauty of physics laws, still these laws aren't sufficient to explain the secret.

There is a secret that nobody knows about, and no one likes to say there is a secret in this story. Instead, everybody talks about the "angular momentum" and "angular velocity" of that spinning, as if they were defining water after lot of effort by say it is just water!

I do agree on the laws of rotational movement of a centrifuge but the centrifuge does not start rotation by itself; an electric current induces it to rotate, slowly first, and then it will accelerate to a steady revolution rate.

Only a small part in earthquakes but granted

First of all stupid answer. Second do you think in case of a cosmic gas jet the kyper belt would shield us, as well as the rest of everything around us ?
