What would happen if the earth were out of 5 seconds without oxygen?

What would happen if our planet ran out of oxygen for 5 seconds? Considering we're talking a short time, nothing, right? Wrong!

In a video published by BuzzFeed, you can see what would happen in those 5 seconds that would seem like a nightmare to those who were alive.

The video explains that the sun would cause serious burns, since the air would be without the oxygen molecules that protect us from UV rays. Also, the sky would be dark, the pure metals would weld and stick together, and the earth's crust would be crumbled.

End of Times?

But wait. Chaos is just beginning to be described. Your ear would explode if there was no oxygen. Every building made of concrete would turn to dust. Every living cell would explode and the oceans would evaporate.

But what if instead of decreasing, the amount of oxygen doubled? In this case, paper airplanes would fly longer, people would be happier and alert, and have better cognition and physical performance.

Negative side

The downside of doubling the amount of oxygen in the world is that there would be giant insects, since the body size of one of these animals depends on the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

Apparently the best thing is to have the current amount of this chemical element. The video ends by saying, "Thank you, oxygen, for being the way you are." What did you think about the joke? Check out the following video:
