You're standing on a Miami sidewalk while the day shrinks from 24 hours toward one hour, and it keeps shrinking.
The sun races across the sky, storms spin harder, the oceans slide toward the equator, and "down" starts leaning south.
At an 84-minute day the equator hits orbital speed. A few minutes later, Miami lets go.
Based on real physics: effective gravity vs. the pull of Earth's spin at Miami's latitude.
