It's actually relatively impossible unless all of those jumpers are on one side of the earth...

Even if they all were on one side, they wouldn't "knock" earth out of orbit.  

Go back to high school physics.

Well if the earth happens to be in what ever zone their talking about it might be possible..

It'd be like a metor hitting a moon and sending it out or into a different orbit.

The question is, is how much force would be required to nudge the earth out of orbit at any given time?

600,000,000 people rougly weight 180lbs each would total rougly,
108,000,000,000lbs If everyone jumped and landed at the exact same moment, in exactly the same spot.

This is fun..

I'm not saying it's possible! It's stupid yea! But.. lets see if we can prove them wrong!

Hmm could swear I saw this in Mythbusters... I believe that the equivalent force exercised by the whole population of china should they jump at the same time was equivalent to a 1 Megaton bomb... hardly what is needed to move earth from its orbit.

can be found here.

And if you're goal is the destruction of Earth.  (Geocide).

Jumping up and down to try to move the Earth is like mounting a fan on a sailboat, pointing the fan at the sail, and expecting the boat to move forwards. It just doesn't work!


Brilliant!

No, it's not like that at all.  A meteor comes from off-planet.

Yup.  When they jump, the earth moves one way, then when they land, it cancels out.  Net result, essentially zero.
