They don’t usually do questions with such obvious answers. I didn’t watch it, but I’m guessing it’s something to be effect of “Yes. And you can stop the sun from setting completely if you travel at a few hundred mph, depending on your latitude.”
Just one question. Did he end up finding a paved road far enough north that you can do it in an ordinary car at legal speeds? I’m guessing somewhere in Russia or Canada?
It’s a whole different answer. He’s driving North and then South, and faster than the sun is moving.
It’s a 2:46 minute video. It’s okay to decide not to watch it. But instead of watching it, you took the time to make a comment that is completely missing the point. Would you mind explaining why?
Uh, I made a comment before and after I watched it that already addressed this long before you replied. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are experiencing some kind of federation issue that prevented you from seeing the edit - Maybe reach out to your server admin about this issue?
Short answer: Yes Will you notice it: No
Hey, it’s great you watched it and updated your comment.
It takes a lot to come up with a really creative and well researched video and manage to make your point in under three minutes. And it takes a lot more to surprise people and suggest a solution that no one had in mind before watching it.
This should teach people to do their research before commenting.

You mean the part about spinning counterclockwise?
In the original text form what-if.xkcd.com/42/ this was just a link to the comic, I guess that wouldn’t have worked in a video.
