It's remarkable in this age, where information is available literally at your fingertips, that people will continue to fall for complete bullshit such as this, and readily repeat it as true.

The rotational speed at the equator, at its highest point, is closer to 465 meters per second, not 22 million meters per second, as you state. Though the results would still be bad.

He told me NASA somehow factored that into something they were doing to find a window into orbit around the Earth. Others have already provided the links, so all I will add is to point out that the way the story is told implies that there was some way for NASA's engineers to determine that there was a day "missing" from some time in the distant past. Now... how exactly would they have figured that out?
It's one of the sillier urban legends and only has any traction at all because it supposedly confirms something that people want to be true. Much the same way that someone seems to stumble over the location of Noah's ark every few years or the virgin Mary makes her Caucasian face appear on a piece of toast from time to time.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Obviously a magical being wouldn't have to apply the stopping force from a single point of contact!! You obviously don't understand how magic works!!

Did you think about it at all? I am stupefied as to how people can take this seriously. Believing in half the crap that the bible says in one thing but believing NASA knows about some event where the entire earth stopped? What goes through your mind when someone tells you that? Does anything go through your mind? Is it just like wind blowing through the trees?

It would be the physics that is at work in a car crash. The car decelerates near instantly, but your body keeps going.

If he applied the force evenly to every human at once in such a way that everything lived, then how come the soldier normal movement is unimpeded? And why is there no record of this from china or india?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_r...ular_speed I was thinking of the earth stopping in its orbit, which if iirc, wouldve had to happen for the judges account to be accurate. Even if your right though, you still get sent flying.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Every molecule recieves the same degree of force in the same direction (relative to the rotational axis, of course) such that relative motion is unchanged.
God sure went through a lot of trouble to stop the Earth's rotation. Why didn't he just rain down some fire and brimstone to end the battle more quickly?

Well considering deceleration like that would take hours if not days during which the sun would move notably, not mentioning the reacceleration afterwards. We also lack records from any other developed civilization at the time, which depended on the sun for their livelihood.

Sadly, C/D, stupid information is available in the same manner. There are plenty of assholes to gobble it up.
