6/26    when the super collidor ends the earth's rotation, will the oceans
        still stick around or will they create the biggest world tsunami
        ever?
        \_ The oceans will synchronously and magically stop with the rest
           of the planet.  However, the black hole which is your brain
           will merge with the one created by the supercollider and pass
           into another dimension, leaving your skull empty, which no
           one will notice.
        \_ The high tides we get twice a day are more or less tsunamis, IMHO.
        \_ Its not going to, you can return your raft.  No force can just
           stop the earth, so the mythical scenario of "what happens to
           the ocean when it happens" doesn't matter.  They would obey Newton's
           laws though, so if it magically did happen, they would slosh all
           over west coasts (the earth rotates to the east, hence the water
           has "eastward" momentum).  They would also likely create more
           tsunamis as they receeded from being all over wester coasts toward
           the eastern coasts.
        \_ How is one defining "earth?"  It's not like land is all that solid.
