i made a thread about this like a year ago and im sure someone else made one 2 years ago

but ya, impossible

Surely they wouldn't have wasted all the time and effort if it wasn't going to work?

This is so funny, I can't beleive they would actually try this...

if the whole world jumped at the same time, imagine the noise in a really populated city..

So...

If I want to "contribute", I have to jump at 4:39 in the morning?
This is the first time I think sleeping isn't useless.

And I was wondering why only people on the western hemisphere are allowed to jump.
Because they are stupid enough to get tricked?

If they actually put this thing into mass campaigns, get money to fund advertising the shit out of it, put more information up oh the pluses of actually doing it, they would get way more people doing this and could maybe make it work. Then again, that's if scientifically this is possible.

There are thousands and thousands of reasons why this will never work.

Simply the fact that specifying a time to jump is not nearly specific enough, even if you leave out all the physics, counter forces, etc, it will have absolutely no effect (not even a super-duper-micromillimeter) if people don't jump on the exact same time (and with time I mean measured in microseconds and less).

Also, people are not external forces. If you jump, you actually push into the earth with a (rediculus small) force. And after that it is only a matter of mass which object will attrack the other (human or earth) and will move back towards the other object due to gravity. Thus actually moving back in place as it was before...

To have a decent "effect" (again leaving out all the physics and stuff, thus assuming it would work, even by 1 millimeter), people should jump on the same spot, no spread all over the (western) earth.

If the earth is moved out of orbit and gets another orbit, global warming would be the least of our concearns.

etc... etc... you can go on for pages and pages why this is so absolutely rediculus...

!!!!one!!!!11!!!eleven!!
cookie is right.
and i wont jump.

I'm going to jump, but I'm sure it won't work(not only because you said so earlier in this thread)

lol didnt they do this before? im sure they did cos i jumped along with my school when a bell sounded at like 11am...

we got a longer break(recess) to jump too haha
