What If Earth Spun the Other Way?

The video explores the hypothetical scenario of Earth spinning in the opposite direction, from east to west, and its potential impacts on climate and history. It explains how the Coriolis effect would alter wind and ocean currents, leading to significant climate changes. A simulation shows that deserts would shift, forests would expand, and global temperatures would slightly drop. These changes could have drastically altered historical developments, highlighting the importance of Earth's current west-to-east rotation.
