Earlier this week, we asked you to have a science-based discussion during dinner. Rather than going on about sports or the weather, we challenged you to talk about something meaningful, educational, and fun. The question we gave you to ponder was:

What would happen if the Earth stopped rotating?

What did you come up with? Did you question whether the rotation would stop suddenly or if it would a slowly grinding halt? Did you worry about being stuck in the sun's glare? Or on the dark side of the planet? Tell us what you talked about and keep an eye out for next week's dinner discussion topic!
