gravity, what would happen if the earth stopped?

what would happen if the earth stopped rotating?

The gravity we feel pulling us down would increase ever so slighty, because the rotation of the Earth causes a centrifudel effect which lessens the acceleration we experience. It wouldn't increase to 10m/s^2 though.

Apocalypse

¿Around the sun or across the universe?
I think several things
1.-The earths core is full caloric energy and heavy mass
2.- The earth (and sun and galaxies) are traveling across universe while it is expanding
3.- The earth is like an electron turning around the sun (the core with high nuclear forces as the elemental particles in the core of an atom like quarks and gluons)
4.- While a mass with high energy in the core as the earth move fast across expandin universe is formed the lowest elementary force ( the gravity) to keep joined this mass

So the earth cannot stop while the sun has mass and energy and this enegy will cease when sun spend its energy, then the earth will get freez at 0ºK, the center of the earth will cold and crunch along time when the sun sutdown

noting would happen because curavature and density of space around the earth would remain the same

Well...I suppose I'd pummel my brain as it passed through my PC screen...nasty thing that..... to suddenly stop after moving @ several hundred miles an hour!

Not recommended!

Or before Apocalypse, and playing some realistic physics inhere, depending on which latitude and altitude you are, atmosphere, Fivedoughnut's brain including, will remain at its speed of rotation, now relative to the Earth, e.g. for 45 deg (I recall my old estimations for the same situation you asking for, so I'm not exactly sure) will be around 1 Mach (cca 340 m/s; interesting!?). So, everything would be going IN A DEEP SILENCE.

Much more interesting is what with magnetic B-field (strongly depends on theory you follow, dynamo, magnetic core or else). And considering one of my prime field of interests, gravitomagnetic field (which is in fact more essential even before any EM or nuclear estimations) B_g ~ e-14 Hz would be disappeared.

1. The HIGHEST one
2. I believe the question was about rotation (spinning) around Earth's axis (commonly, revolution is around Sun's system mass center)

Otherwise, thanks for a very sophisticated answer.
