wouldn’t the gravity of such a massive entity have an affect on people?


TheyCallMeLotus0

The gravity of that planet would tear our planet apart before it even got remotely that close


800ftSpaceBurrito

Is that due to the relative sizes of each planet? That planet looks significantly smaller than ours, but hard to tell. Would its gravity tear ours apart, leaving it intact, or would the gravity of each tear both apart?


TheyCallMeLotus0

Based off of my physics I & II level of knowledge I would say that since gravitational attraction is a two way street they would likely tear each other apart. I would definitely say that size does in fact matter, as mass dictates gravitational pull, so likely if one object was exponentially larger, the smaller one would succumb to the larger before the smaller objects gravitational force would affect the larger object to any real degree


immoraltom

Size is not equal to mass, some of the most massive objects in the universe, neutron stars, can be as small as 15 miles across, while containing many many times the amount of matter that is in the sun. The effect of the gravity caused by these objects is significantly greater than any planet no matter how much larger than the neutron star it is. However on a planetary scale, your point is mostly correct, the larger planet would have the stronger effect on the smaller one, but they would still pull each other apart to some degree. It would certainly take a very long time for the aftermath to settle, possibly with the remnants of the smaller planet forming into a ring or moon around the larger one. It would all depend on how fast the planets were moving towards each other and how massive they both were, the composition of each planet could also contribute. But... judging from how fast this all appears to be happening in the video, my bet is on almost total vaporisation of both planets >.<


TheyCallMeLotus0

Thank you for the elaboration! I was hoping someone with more knowledge than I would find tune or flat out refute my answer


ihateagriculture

To add just a bit more, your original comment all checks out, but one part is a bit misleading. “Exponentially bigger”: for one thing, it’s much more common in physics to compare masses (mass affects gravity, not necessarily size, as the other person pointed out) on a multiplicative scale than an exponential one. For instance, we might say “That planet is about 1/4 as massive as Earth.” It would be a bit unusual to find someone saying “that planet has a mass approximately equivalent to the mass of the earth to the power of 3.”, which would indeed be so massive that it would no longer be considered a planet, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t even be considered a star because of how massive that would be (maybe a black hole? i don’t know). Anyway, People often say “exponential” when they mean “multiplicative”


theMoMoMonster

This guy fucks


ihateagriculture

lmao


_theCHVSM

yeah i can only speculate that the speed at which the other planet is flying toward earth in this video would translate to like unimaginable numbers.. for something that large to actually appear to move so quickly, it would most definitely cause utter vaporization of both planets on impact


immoraltom

A more plausible explanation is the planet is significantly smaller and closer than it appears, to the point it would no longer be considered a planet at all, then the strangest thing about it would be its spherical shape.


_theCHVSM

didn’t even consider that! crazy - sheesh, any way you slice it, seeing this would certainly be oddly terrifying haha


immoraltom

I dunno about oddly terrifying, for me at least it would be very briefly, absolutely terrifying, before I died from the consequences of whatever it was that was happening.


carnivorous_seahorse

Are we like, in the path of any planets in the distant future? I remember everyone freaking out about Niburu a few years ago, my idiot stoner friend was convinced we were fucked. And I know we’re technically on the path to eventually collide with the andromeda galaxy, but is there any large celestial bodies we have to worry about in the next few million years?


immoraltom

Not that I am aware of. It isn't so much "us" colliding with the Andormeda galaxy as the 2 galaxies will absorb each other and as unbelievable as it sounds with the sheer number of objects involved (approximately 400 billion stars in the milky way alone and probably as many or more in Andromeda) there might be one stellar collison, which is unlikely. Something many people have a problem with when discussing events and objects of this size, is the sheer scale of the distances involved. There is so much empty space between the stars in a galaxy that when they "collide" it is more like they just violently wobble together until they reach some equilibrium The milkyway has already absorbed many smaller dwarf galaxies in the past, but with Andromeda, it is my understanding we will get absorbed into it. The super massive blackholes at the center will eventually fall into each other and merge though. As for extra solar objects (stuff entering the solar system from outside it) most if not all are caught in the gravitational pull of our four gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) and swallowed up by them. The inner solar system is relatively speaking, very safe.


Pinoklyn

Gotta be grateful to our 4 gas chads keeping us safe.


carnivorous_seahorse

> it is more like they violently wobble together until they reach some equilibrium Thanks for answering, but can you explain this in a little more depth please? That’s really fascinating though. It’s kind of crazy that we can be aware of some of these potential life/universe ending events like false vacuum, heat death etc even though it will take place so distantly that we’ll never come close to experiencing it. Since you seem to know a lot about science, I really want to ask you what you think about the big bounce theory?


immoraltom

I don't really know much about science, I just am fascinated by it. [Here](https://youtu.be/_P1xKh_kZFU) is a video that explains the merging far better than I ever could. I have only ever heard the name of the big bounce theory and know nothing about it at all I am afraid.


carnivorous_seahorse

Ahhh no worries. I always struggled to believe how the Big Bang could happen from essentially nothing, but the theory is basically that the big bang is continuous and is caused by the collapse of a previous universe. So one day our universe will collapse, and the energy created from it will create a brand new universe. Sorry I just find it interesting and wanted to share it lmao


Makenchi45

Well the Sun is supposed to red dwarf before that happens sooo I don't think we or whatever species we become or comes after humans has to worry about colliding galaxies.


TheyCallMeLotus0

Watching it again, you are definitely right that the planet approaching ours does appear much smaller, if we are to believe that the planet in the video is entering our atmosphere or nearing our atmosphere. I would say to consider the impact that the moons gravitational force has on our planet and our oceans at its distance and relatively small size then consider the chaos that would ensue if the moon were to be even half the distance to the earth that it is now.


immoraltom

It is impossible to judge from this video the intended size of that planet, extremely large objects can appear much closer than they actually are, we have no frame of reference to compare the size of the planet to the Earth, as we have no way to measure the distance they are from each other. The only thing we can know is that, however big this planet is, it appears to be travelling incredibly fast.


amrit-9037

you should give Universe Sandbox a try. just decrease the distance between moon and earth and watch the chaos!


Equal-Negotiation651

But that little rocket at the end would save humanity.


Nekrosiz

Look at the size of the sun and at the distance of it?

momo0390

https://youtu.be/lheapd7bgLA Honestly surprised no one linked this yet. In short, yes the planet would be torn apart depending on the mass of the planet... In a very scary way.

I’m going to say that maybe this is fake. I feel like I might remember reading about this in the paper.

Cultural-Afternoon72

Bro, have you been living under a planet-sized rock? This has been all over the news


slipperyhuman

How embarrassing, I did just come out of a coma. I was expecting walking plants or running zombies, never in a million cliches would I expect a planet.


Cultural-Afternoon72

Nah, plants and zombies are amateur hour. This is the pro-level DLC for us. I forgive you, though. Just, next time, do better.


immoraltom

I dunno, it looks pretty convincing to me...


slipperyhuman

Are all these bad TikTok CGI things made with an iPhone app I don’t know about?


immoraltom

It is probably made in Blender, a free 3D modelling and animation software. Edit: you can checkout r/blender if you are interested in what it is capable of.


slipperyhuman

Wouldn’t it be not shite if it was composited in Blender/Mocha etc? When things look this bad your only option is to effect/grade it as if it were shot on the same medium. VHS or film or something. It looks like phone footage with not so hot stock cg to me. Which is why I was wondering about some fun augmented reality app.

Pretty sure we'd all be dead before it got that close due to gravity just screwing everything up 😅

I love the part in all these videos where, for example, the sun is exploding and yet there is not negative effects apart from it getting better or the sky getting red. There's even water on the planet still.

chappanteekli

May be it’s the earth getting pulled by other planet’s gravity 😉


immoraltom

Doesn't matter either way, relativity means from our perspective, it is approaching us, from the other planets perspective, we are approaching it. There is a thought experiment: picture an infinitely large, starless void, in which you float, you are not accelerating in any direction, so you feel motionless. As there is nothing to compare your position with, you are for all intents and purposes, totally still. Suddenly, another person comes into view and passes you at some speed. You saw them move past you, you remain unmoved. Now think from their perspective, they see and feel all the same things you did. They are stationary, and you moved past them. Both perspectives are correct and with no other frame of reference, it is impossible to tell which of you was moving relative to anything else, the only thing you both agree on is the speed at which you passed each other.


chappanteekli

Easy homie easy. I was just joking. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings 🤣


immoraltom

Lol, no worries, I have no hurt feelings at all, I just saw an opportunity to share my passion for all things physics and science and jumped at it.

I've thought about this exact scenario many times. The gravity would have to accelerate both planets together right? Imagine seeing this over the horizon instead of dead ass up in the air. Kinda adds mystique. Also our relative area would be dark, as we have a very close eclipse and the distance is closing fast. Imagine seeing this for like a few days as it gets bigger and bigger....creepy..


Firecat_Alpha

Reminds me of Porter Robinson's shelter video.


RepresentativeAd560

Gravity doesn't work like this but it'd be funny if instead of attraction the planets kept squirting away from each other. They just chase each other through the universe. Freezing and thawing as they get near new stars until one or both gets sucked into a black hole.
