We just watched the Futurama episodes where alien cats stopped the Earth’s rotation, and they fixed it by making it rotate in the opposite direction.

      You forgot about air. If the planet suddenly rotates in the other direction, it would level everything, and the probably turn the planet into a molten marble from the friction.

      I don’t know. Couldn’t it be gradual enough that we barely noticed the acceleration changes but still only take a couple of hours?
