Since the only way that such an event could occur is if the earth suddenly stopped rotating, and started rotating in the opposite direction, (a change in rotational velocity at the equator of around 2,000 MPH)..........yeah, I'm pretty sure people would notice that. And I'm very sure that I would, since my head isn't completely up my own a$$.

There would be no survivors on Earth to witness this event, the Earth would have to come to a compete stop in it's turning on it's axis, we would all be killed just as surely as if we fell off a vehicle moving at 1000 miles per hour. Those near the poles may survive such an event but only half of them would have a view of the sun.

Yes I think some astronomers like ones at oh nasa would tell the news and then the people of the U.S. would notice... besides the sun could start rotating to and it would create the same....ha ha

I bet 90% of the people would not even notice, based on the number of questions I have seen here about seeing the Moon during the daytime, as if that was unusual. I would notice though.

I would certainly notice being tossed about as the earth stopped rotating, and then went the other way. Something about total devastation always grabs my attention.

I think most peoples would notice it upon waking up. What the hell, why is the sun in my bedroom today when i wake up it's always in the living room ?

Wouldn't this require that the earth stop rotating and begin rotating in the opposite direction?
The result of that would be MASSIVE earthquake activity.

Certainly all living humans in normal state of consciousness would notice

not a lot of people will notice. they have other problems to worry about. im 50% sure i would notice though because im always looking around looking for science thoughts and trying to figure out stuff. so yea...

yea...i think everyone would...cause that would mean that the world would have to stop spinning one way and go the other....that might screw some serious stuff up to...like gravitational pull
