Apparently they think that if they can get 600,000,000 people to jump at once, they can alter the earth's orbit, slowing global warming, and increasing the number of daylight hours. Well, it's worth a try!

[lookie1st]

Interesting concept. Don't think it would do anything though.

[Cory]

LOL OMFG YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME


So what would happen if 300k people jumped at the exact same time in say california and say 300k people jumped at the exact same time as the people in california did, but they are in say japan? Wouldn't that just not move? PSSSST I seriously think the people who came up with this idea should be thrown off a underground building at exactly 11.39.13 on July 26 *don't ask*

dumb

I'm definetely going to do it. I love mass-anything.

[Jakezilla]

what if it was a mass-runaroundnakedinthestreetsandhumpcopcars day?

[SupermanFTM]

Ya, Zanzibar would definetly do that one Razor I'll do it because I have nothing to do, although I seriously doubt we'll see any results

[Lemonblood]

People get trauma doing these kinds of things, lol.

[Eggy]

wouldnt it just like, crush the inside of the world cause people all over the world are doing it...?

[Temari]

thats one way to make a big earth quake! just kidding just kidding but I do think itd dumb.... whats the purpose of getting 600,00,000 jumping at once?

[Tim]

I kind of doubt it would really do anything, but hey, jumping is fun

[Christopher Robin]

these guys should be thrown off the edge of the world just kidding... but, itll just shake a TINY bit, if at all, and they should only do it with like Europe or Canada or US or all america... NOT eeveryone...

They'd have to have half the world move to the other half and do it..or else it wouldn't move anywhere..

[Frizzle]

It's impossible to change a planet's orbit by it's on mass only, including it's population.

I remember doing this last year at school.

[juju]

What an interesting theory xD

I would jump just for fun though. I highly doubt anything special would happen.

Wait...are you saying you wouldn't be up for that?

[hey]

The average adult is about 175lbs. That "jump" would apply 105,000,000,000lbs of force onto the earth.

The earth weighs 11,944,000,000,000,000,000,000,000lbs. So no, I doubt it will make any difference at all.

[Eggy]

Exactly...,

[Freddy]

if you get 100,000 people to jump at once I guess I'll join in and jump

[Noitidart]

Lol that would have to be pretty coordinated. Well you have to set a specific time. You the earth is a spehere so if like 300k jump in like china side and 300k jump on american side wouldn't that void?

[Warlord]

600 nuclear bombs detonated in antarctica at the same time

no more global warming

no more globe

I doubt everybody jumping at the same time would have much of an effect if any

say goodby hollywood ?

impossible you would need to have everyone linking hands and throw bombs at the world for such a thing to happen

[Warlord]

say goodby hollywood ?

impossible you would need to have everyone linking hands and throw bombs at the world for such a thing to happen

you'd prolly have to get the entire global populace into one single area then do the jump/bomb thing if you expected any effect

and the amount of fossil fuels burned in transporting everyone to that one place would surely negate any effect the jumping might have

[Ives]

Basic Algerbra and some Physics proves this is false.
