Description
The non-spinning earth is part of the first 100 alternate worlds discovered by the human race, being classified as universe "61". The physics in this universe is completely different from our universe, since after the formation of any celestial body that has not become a star, depending upon the mass and size, begins to slow the rotation of this to the point stop its rotation completely. The event occurred 4.3 billion years after the formation of earth, during the Permian. There is only one continent located in Ecuador, where most of this is uninhabited due to the large amounts of radiation received from the sun, the thin atmosphere and precipitation nonexistent. Most living things live mainly in coastal areas. This world is permanently in a long cycle of day and night season, about of six months, because the planet still remains orbiting the sun.

history
From the Upper Permian, the earth begins the slow process of planetary rotation, which is falling behind at a rather slow pace, several thousands to millions of years. At some point in the division Permian-Triassic this process I began to increase to the point that in a few hundred years, the planet stops rotating completely. This causes an event, totally different from the "big death" although, with similar results, the sharp decline of oxygen, destruction of oceanic trophic chains, in addition to the formation of a global continent that surrounds around the Ecuador, the the development of two periods of "day and night" that extend each for six months. The catastrophe itself was similar to the Permian extinction, bringing an end to 95% of terrestrial life forms, leaving a handful of survivors. However, these survivors found a transformed world which would not be restored to how it was.

Among the animals on land that still existed were the procolophonids, cynodonts, the dicynodonts, several basal diapsid and other para-reptiles, along with amphibians. Although invertebrates had been decimated due to the disaster, survived and prospered

In the polar oceans and some water bodies, survived chondrosteans (ancestors of bony fish), the sarcopterygians, some elasmobranchs hibodontids, the holocephalans, the nautiloids of ceratitica type, number of gastropods and bivalves and various others invertebrates.

With the non-spinning event, the land and the oceans was divided into two areas which had as a barrier the central equatorial continent, which was quite hostile to any form of life can cross it by land. by the small amount of oxygen, strong winds and solar radiation. With the passage of time in each zone, evolved independently of each other for millions of years without any kind of interruption. However, the evolution I remain stagnant for a long time because of the hostile environment of the planet, which relegated many organisms to live underground or deep sea.

The first ecosystems to adapt and recover were marine, coastal and later, by the part of the flora. The terrestrial fauna from the late Cretaceous and early Paleogene had managed to restore biodiversity she'd had since the Permian.

An interesting side effect caused by non-spinning earth, was the development of a more resistant to mass extinctions ecosystem, because organisms can withstand as efficiently periods of food shortages and extreme weather changes. However, this does not mean that these ecosystems have a high degree of invulnerability. During the Cretaceous extinction, a large portion of marine and terrestrial ecosystems of the north were affected so that a considerable number of species perished.
