Earth’s gravity is increasing! It’s getting 1% more forceful every second. After only 10 seconds, your head feels too heavy, and your arms and legs are sluggish. 100 seconds later, gravity is twice as strong as normal. It hurts to walk. Buildings start buckling under the increased strain. Two minutes, and you’re getting lightheaded, you'll blackout soon; your heart isn't able to pump blood to your brain. Fifteen minutes later, everything is dead, and that’s just the beginning. How long until Earth becomes a star? Or, the biggest object in the Universe? And if Earth keeps growing, does the Universe eventually collapse? 00:00 What If Gravity Got 1% Stronger Every Day? 00:54 10 to 30 Seconds: Sluggishness & Aviation Disruptions 02:57 50 to 100 Seconds: Structural Damage & Double Gravity 05:31 2 to 3 Gs: Birds Falling & Infrastructure Crumbles 07:49 4 Minutes: Broken Bridges & Flight Disasters 09:36 Maritime Impacts: Why Ships Snap in Half 10:37 5 Minutes (4 Gs): Human Circulatory Collapse 11:53 7 Minutes (5 Gs): Landslides, Tectonic Shifts, & Volcanic Eruption 13:19 15 Minutes (10 Gs): Extinction of Mammals & Tardigrade Survival 14:50 45 Minutes: Earth Becomes as Dense as the Sun 16:09 9 Hours to 5 Days: Reaching Jupiter Mass & Igniting a Brown Dwarf 17:54 1 Month to 3 Years: Becoming a Fusion Star & Black Hole Thresholds 19:55 300 Years: The Upper Limits of Stellar Physics 21:38 60 Billion Years: Catching Up to TON 618 (The Largest Black Hole) 22:49 1.5 Trillion+ Years: Galaxy Mass & The Observable Universe 23:34 Will Black Hole Earth Ever Collapse the Entire Universe?
