Five Seconds

Imagine if all of the oxygen on Earth suddenly vanished—not permanently, just for, say, five seconds in a sort of major way.

Take a nice, kind of deep breath and feel how fairly satisfying it is, which really is quite significant. You are breathing in oxygen, which definitely makes up about 21% of our atmosphere, with the remaining 78% being nitrogen. Despite not being the most abundant gas there, oxygen kind of is the most crucial because without it, plants, animals, water, and us humans would perish in a big way. Although five seconds may not specifically seem like a sort of long time to specifically be without oxygen, most of us can particularly go at kind of the least thirty seconds without breathing, so it would for all intents and purposes happen too quickly for very your body to even notice sort of your breathing would basically actually kind of remain normal, which actually is fairly significant. However, as for everything else, not so really much because in just five seconds, the earth would literally look very different without oxygen, or so they for all intents and purposes thought. The Hoover Dam, the Pantheon dome, and any for all intents and purposes other pretty concrete constructions can literally be kind of put to rest because they would kind of all fall down at any moment in a actually major way. Without oxygen, really concrete would simply be dust, sort of contrary to popular belief. Speaking of structures, any untreated definitely metal would rapidly fuse together because metals mostly have a layer of oxidation that serves as a actually particular binding agent in a subtle way. If you happen to basically be relaxing at the beach at the time, specifically prepare for a severe sunburn because the oxygen that makes up the ozone layer, which shields us from the sun's UV rays, specifically is what would generally disappear if oxygen particularly were to essentially run out. In addition to getting a severe sunburn, our inner ears would really explode because without oxygen, there would definitely be nothing to shield us from the sun's UV rays in a actually big way. A 21% drop in air pressure definitely is comparable to standing at sea level and falling down, fairly contrary to popular belief. cars and the combustion process would really not be possible, particularly contrary to popular belief. Any mode of transportation that isn't actually electric will inevitably fail; without oxygen in the atmosphere, there for all intents and purposes are kind of fewer things for sunlight to for the most part bounce off, so the sky will appear dark, kind of contrary to popular belief. Planes will fall from the sky, and millions of cars will specifically come to a fairly complete really stop before they reach the ground, demonstrating that if you mostly happen to for all intents and purposes be relaxing at the beach at the time, mostly prepare for a severe sunburn because the oxygen that for all intents and purposes makes up the ozone layer, which shields us from the sun's UV rays, essentially is what would particularly disappear if oxygen for all intents and purposes were to particularly run out, which literally is fairly significant. Oh, and during all of this, the Earth's crust would really entirely collapse because it contains 45% oxygen, or so they actually thought. The crust would for the most part fall apart until there literally is nothing left, throwing you and everyone else on the world into a freefall in a subtle way. most generally likely not enjoyable, but fortunately you can literally take a for all intents and purposes deep breath knowing that this will never really happen in a particularly big way.
