  • @thebloads Long before the planets collided, mutual gravitational forces between the planets would have ripped the atmospheres from around the planets, drowned the land with tsunamis thousands of feet high, split the continents with earthquakes so powerful there's not even a Richter number to measure it, and disrupted the earth's orbit around the sun and the moon's orbit around earth. Nobody would have been alive to watch the planets collide. Put the sci back in sci-fi!

  • The end of Tristan might be one of the most wonderful things in life besides the ending of Parsifal!!

  • Melancolia????

  • I think it's silly people banging on about what the reality of these two planets colliding would be. Everyone knows the gravitational pull would have ripped the earth to pieces long before they hit each other. This film is not about the physics of two planets colliding.

  • This video is epic! I would never have imagined Tristan and Isolde would have this beautiful ending to it. I have always liked the 4th night of Der Ring des Nibelungen, Götterdämmerung. I had less respect for Tristan, but I might have to change my opinion.

  • @jimtrueblue99 also, if two planets come too close to each other, the difference of the gravitational force on the side facing the other planet and the further side (-> tidal force) rips the smaller planet apart. check out "roche limit" on wikipedia

  • AAAARGH what the hell is happening at the end? If you're looking for the music find another video!

  • @jimtrueblue99 Nerd!!! lol!

  • @jimtrueblue99 Let me guess. You were born and raised in the USA, you must be a Hollywood fanboy and from the reasoning of your critic I'm gonnna say you're like 12 years old.

  • @jimtrueblue99 (Quick calculation later:) At distance of 100,000 km (impact in ballpark of 1 hr), assuming the planet is 10 times the weight of the earth, would be causing tides about 30,000 times as strong as the moon. Reduction in gravity at the point closest to the planet is only about 0.05m/s^2, which is 0.5% of regular gravity. So the flooding at places of high tide would be enough to submerge mountain ranges, but the atmosphere would be blithely indifferent.

  • @jimtrueblue99 Plus it's not really a sci-fi film :-p

  • @jimtrueblue99 Not sure about that. The main effect the other planet would have is tidal - parts of the earth nearer to the planet would be attracted more. As it got close, it would cause tides much stronger than the Moon. So coastal areas would be flooded. But the atmosphere wouldn't escape to any appreciable extent, until it got close enough to significantly reduce the 'escape velocity'. Also not convinced that it would cause severe earthquakes. (Earth's tides only cause tiny 'moonquakes'.)
