The folks behind World Jump Day are trying to shift the earth into a new orbit
the idea is that if 600 million people all jump at the same time will shift the earth into a different orbit and solve our warming problem.

they're going to do it on the 20 July

Surely, doing something at this scale could cause something quite horrific to happen:?

it's not going to affect anything, but hell i'll do it..

i swear i remember a thread about this from agers ago
Its probably been pruned now ¬¬
but it had someone (cookie i think) proving why it wouldn't work.

I'd say it probably was Cookie, he seems to know everything...

It probably centred on Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Lol, they say it will make it warmer on the arctic and colder in the desert, but making it warmer in the arctic will make the ice meld, and it will be the same if global warming happends

The obviously haven't thought about that. So if I jump here in New Zealand, I'm going to push the world in the wrong direction?

Oh.

Also, don't scientists say that even though there are more people being born each day, the Earth doesn't get heavier?
