How could a stray planet(oid?) possibly affect the rotational momentum of the Earth enough to stop it from rotating entirely? That seems like the kind of physics gaffe that would give me a tyrescreech.wav end to my suspension of disbelief.
(Kind of like in Three Body where the sun is described as having a... crust? Which keeps the hot gases contained within it? And if punctured will spray a jet of solar plasma strong enough to cook planets out into space?)
