Adverbs of manner

I recently received this question via email: Hello there,

Adverbs of degree

Imagine we build a giant ring around the whole globe, perfectly round, no ups and downs.

What you didn't know is that i installed explosives all around on each pole holding it up, and

I cannot condone secretly installing explosives on poles holding up infrastructure projects.

Second, I have a feeling you might really like the planet Saturn.

The answer depends a lot on how strong the ring is, but in general you've touched upon

As you've realized, a perfectly symmetric ring doesn't have any particular reason to

Like a perfectly balanced pencil, which way will it fall?

Anyway, if the ring is really really strong, then it should just stay exactly where it

is, "hovering", though that actually means being held up by its own strength, because

each part will be gravitationally pulled toward the center of the earth, and since those forces

are spread equally around the ring in a symmetric way they’ll cancel out.

Like how in tug of war if both sides pull the same amount the rope won’t move).

Now, if the ring’s not sufficiently strong, it might buckle in places and become scrunched

up, like the coins that my friend Dianna shrunk by putting them in a very strong, very quickly

It’s interesting to note that the properties of circumferences mean you’d only have to

take out a few meters for the ring to be small enough to just lie on the ground.

As for “will it start spinning like crazy”?

I think you might be referring to the idea that the earth is spinning to the east “underneath”

the ring – well, I have a whole other video about that, that you should definitely check

Thanks for your question, and stay away from
