What if ...

Hypothetical, no-nonsense and worthwhile: Listen to our small "What if"-scenarios about pretty much everything that could be different.

The "What- If"- scenarios closely resemble this logo that we created: Imagine a balloon is passing your way with the written question "What If.." on it. In our mind that captured many different situations, seriously and funny.
 

So what if ...

...we would cover Sahara desert with solar panels?

In today’s world fossil fuels are getting less and less because we use way more than the earth can compensate and there will come a day were fossil fuels are either that rare that you can barely pay for them or  are even gone at all. That is why the new solution to energy problems are renewable energies such as solar power, wind power or water powers.

we would live in cities underwater?

Overpopulation and climate change are already present issues. But we will have to deal with them even more in the distant future. Due to the high number of people that are added every year, life on earth is becoming more difficult.

...we would set aside half the planet for wildlife?

 

We should all be aware of the fact that the world’s biodiversity is in danger, and that this is mainly the fault of us humans. There are already a lot of animals and plants who are endangered and scientists predict that more than one million species are on track for extinction in the coming decades.This loss of biodiversity has a huge impact on us humans as an unbalanced ecosystem will also endanger our lives.

we would expericene a magnitude 20 earthquake?

What if you would experience a magnitude 20 earth quake? To understand just how big a magnitude 20 earthquake would be, let’s take a look at the Richter scale. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale that rates the amount of energy released by an earthquake. What does logarithmic mean? In this case, it means that the amount of energy released increases 31.7 times between whole number values on the scale. For example, a 2.0ML [magnitude 2] quake is 32 times as energetic as a 1.0ML event. And a 3.0ML quake is 1,000 times more powerful than a 1.0ML event. The largest earthquake ever recorded registered a magnitude of 9.5, and it caused about five billion dollars in damage. It killed 1,655 people and left two million people homeless.

... your stop washing your hair?

Today I want to explore what would happen if you would not wash your hair for a month.In the Indian sub-continent, a substance like shampoo was made by boiling Sapindus, a tropical tree, with maize plums. Sapindus berries, also known as soap berries, contain saponins, a type of organic chemical that creates a soapy charm. This lather helps soak up any oils, leaving hair soft and manageable.

... we put a fire station pole between the earth and the sun

 

First, let's get a few things out of the way:

 

In real life, we can't put a metal pole between the Earth and the Moon. The end of the pole near the Moon would be pulled toward the Moon by the Moon's gravity, and the rest of it would be pulled back down to the Earth by the Earth's gravity. The pole would be torn in half.

 

 

 

Also the Earth's surface spins faster than the Moon goes around, so the end that dangled down to the Earth would break off if you tried to connect it to the ground.
