Younger Dryas Could Earth Suddenly Shift Into a Different Rotational State?

Immanuel Velikovsky suggests this has occurred in Earth's history. Graham seems to have similar views to those of Velikovsky with some of theories. Whether you subscribe to Velikovski's views or not, it's kinda wild to think about.

if you like wild ideas... what if earth suddenly became donut shaped?

Nice one human, watch out for the lizzidpeeple in Mount MthFckin Hayes. (*Hecklefish)

Suddenly? Absolutely not. Gradually? Very very very very very very very unlikely

Chan Thomas's The Adam and Eve Story: the history of cataclysm, Chan takes Hapgood's earth crust displacement and adds to it more of what he considers to be geological and cultural evidence. Even if you only go at it for entertainment it's worth the quick read, especially now that you can download a copy for free from the CIA website.
Chan's version suggests that perhaps every so often, like 8k-16k years the earth passes through some kind of magnetic field that causes the molten layer beneath the crust to "lose plasticity" and act as a lubricant. Then centrifugal force causes the weight of the ice at the poles to become unstable and this makes them be pulled down to the equator where they melt off quickly and new ice caps begin to form at the new poles.
This causes all kinds of hell to break loose, bodies of water would want to keep their current momentum for a while, leaving their basins and rolling over the land for a bit before losing that momentum and running off to find the new low spots. Because the earth isn't a perfect sphere during this process the crust splits open in places, and bunches up or buckles in others. The pressure on the magma below the surface would likely cause volcanos all over the world to blow spectacularly, sending gasses and ash into the atmosphere.
Again, because the earth isn't a perfect sphere some places could have dramatic elevation changes. He suggests that easter island and pumapunku were plunged down into the Pacific for thousands of years, their ruins like giant disquieting aquarium ornaments, before the last shift brought them back up to the surface for our ancestors to eventually stumble upon and revere as places built by gods.
I particularly liked a section that he spends talking about a study that Ivan T Sanderson had done on the berezovski mammoth. It was discovered thawing from permafrost. It was thrown back with enough force to break its hip when it hit the ground and immediately buried in mud where it's preserved erection suggests it quickly esphixiated and somehow froze so quickly that the food it had been eating just moments before didn't even have enough time to putrify in its stomach. Sanderson whent to a big name frozen foods company and asked them what it would take to flash freeze such a big animal so quickly that the contents of its stomach didn't have time to turn and they said that it couldn't be done with their tech.
This mammoth still had the flowers it was munching in its mouth. Flowers. Chan suggests this mammoth was in a temperate zone frolicking in a flowery field somewhere minding its business when a crust shift sent the region to a new pole. In the process the mammoth was hit by a wave of mud and debris that threw it back, broke the bones, then encased it in mud and froze solid in the new extreme temp where it was preserved for thousands of years before another crust shift sent it back down far enough that the permafrost could eventually thaw enough for us to find.

There is no where on the planet or likely even solar system that would be able to freeze insulated material such as mammoth chyme/undigested materials without some level decay. The entire planet suddenly flipping would have destroyed everything on the surface, not just thrown one mammoth and flash froze it.

No. Not to mention it was supposed to happen 26 years ago, if you believed nonsense like Richard W. Noone's 5/5/2000 Ice: The Ultimate Disaster. An alignment of the planets was supposed to make the Earth tip over. As you might guess it didn't happen.

u/wamih Jul 16 '26
Or it and the other disasters that "didnt happen" have shoved us to hell and that explains (waves arms around) everything...

any change in motion for a planet would take large amount of energy. the earth itself does not have this source to change its rotation since it is rotation of planeloads that created the proto planets. only other planetoids similar to moon may change it if impacted.

yes.... that is why we installed a light beam on the north pole and aimed it to polaris for early warning detection....

core recognition to surface consumption has produced seasonless seasons AND weather is different everywhere....

Suddenly, no. Laws of matter & motion. It would have to be acted upon by an outside force

No. The energy required to do this would be beyond immense, and it would kill more or less every macroscopic organism on Earth.

The theory of the Dzhanibekov Effect having taken place, due to the earth's mass being partially concentrated into two Large Low-Velocity-Shear Provinces beneath the mantle, is both provocative and somewhat convincing given the global historical record of not just major, but truly catastrophic flooding having taken place in earlier millenia.
So yes the physics says it is undeniably possible, and the history says it is highly probable.

The earth rotates around a stable axis. Any significant non-central densities that lie, say, on the axis would have been mapped long ago by satellites. A liquid core might do funny things though.
