What would happen if the Earth's tilt would shift to 45 deg suddenly or in a short period of time?
Would we survive?

Humans are as adaptable as rats and cockroaches. But I imagine a few
billion would die, and all our civilization and social structures
would collapse.

(It is likely that our Moon is what has kept the tilt of the Earth's
axis so stable. Mars, for instance, has seen much wider swings.)


Well, 500 years ago, earth's population was around 500 million, now 7 billion!
200 years ago , industrialization caused the exponential population growth!
Going back to 1/2 billion would be a normal thing, I think!


I'm all for a reduction of the human population back down to a billion
or less. But ideally by attrition, not cataclysm. And the whole
collapse of civilization thing would be nice to avoid!

(This is likely to happen in any case, but by our own making, not some
mysterious adjustment of Earth's axis.)


You want your cake and eat it too?
Today's high tech , consumption based economies rely on massive populations to sell more goods!

We could use less people named Chris (who are, as we all know,
genetically defective in the intellect department).

Population reduction by birth!
Like China's one child policy or other birth control method!

The amount of energy involved to cause that would vaporize the
planet and everything on it.

Don't see why would our planet vaporise?


Says more about you and your (lack of) understanding of fairly
basic physics.

Let's say a large asteroid would hit our Moon, knocking it out
of orbit or much farther away, so earth would wobble more?

An asteroid big enough (or fast enough) to have enough energy the
moon out of its orbit wouldn't knock the moon out of its orbit, it
would shatter it, and turn a great deal of it into plasma.

And that wouldn't be nearly enough energy to alter the Earth's tilt
that much.

No, not really, To "knock the moon out of its orbit" would require
a certain amount of energy. That amount of energy would shatter the
moon, and turn a good deal of it into plasma. The math isn't that
complicated. (And the debris would probably kill everything living
thing on Earth even if the impact didn't.)

I guess you're unfamiliar with the meaning of "attrition".

That's why China /India is a huge market for western countries.
Every 4th person is Chines, every 5th Indian in the world.

Moon floats in vacuum and earth gravity holding it in orbit!
I'm saying to move Moons orbit maybe hundred thousand miles out!

Default earth tilt to 45 deg?

With the rise of celestial sphere software then so have descriptions of the Solstice event followed suit. It is a planet with a zero degree inclination and a pivoting circle of illumination off the Equator -

https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevorn.../#6d8a1b5152e6

When a website run by a space agency does these things then places like sci.astro.amateur become important, after all, what level of intelligence would ask the question - "When does the line between day and night become vertical?"

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap170319.html

When such things flourish it comes back on the individual to ask - is it worth destroying astronomy for the sake of a rotating carousel view ?

Once again, the amount of energy to do that in a short time will
not move the moon, it will shatter is, and turn most if not all of
it into plasma. No matter how many times you parrot the same stupid
idea, it won't get any less stupid. So enjoy your stupid fantasy.
