When The Earth Doesn't Turn

So, as everyone knows...eventually the earth will stop turning.

Why would this happen, in your view?

In fact, while the Earth revolves around the Sun it will always rotate...

"... The length of the Earth's day would increase and the length of a lunar month would also increase. The Earth's sidereal day would eventually have the same length as the Moon's orbital period, about 47 times the length of the Earth's day at present. However, Earth is not expected to become tidally locked to the Moon before the Sun becomes a red giant and engulfs Earth and the Moon."

Tell us again why the Earth will eventually stop rotating...

the moon is what makes the earth spin..when the moon moves away completely, the earth will stop...spinning. Am I wrong?

100% wrong.The moon and Earth's mutual gravity slows their spin.Earth rate of spin at its equator is 1030 mph.Thus I estamate it will be 258 mph in about 258 million years Brert

Yes, you are wrong.

Absolutely and most completely WRONG !

The Moon has very little to do with Earth rotation.

It's slight effect is only to slow the rotation rate very slowly.

When in the very far future, the Moon escapes Earth orbit, the Earth will continue to rotate.

Research has found evidence for a 10 hour day for prehistoric earth.
So in a few billion years the moon managed to slow earth from
a 10 hour day to a 24 hour day.
Took a long time, but it is not a "little bit".

Please be specific about that "Research" and "evidence".

Do your own research, I adviice Google.l
