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.

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!

:aok

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.

now that we have analyzed the physics of it, and we all know it won't work, does anyone have any other information on this "group"?

i guess i should have stated more clearly... "is this for real?" means, are these people really that stupid, and have the sucked other people into their stupidity collective? is there even 10,000 people in this world signed up for this? wouldn't the news get out somewhere it wont work? and a myriad of other rehtorical questions that could be asked about this LMFAO :lol

Who knows how many "id10ts" they will bring into their foolishly stupid idea but because they frame it in the retoric of the New Urban Religion, i.e. Environ-mental-ism, they will get people to blythly participate.

Any idea famed in the context of "Saving the Environment" is accepted without question by these folks.:rolleyes:

I always wondered if the launching of the Space Shuttle caused a miniscule alteration of the earth's orbit.  Surely something of that mass pushing against the earth would do something wouldn't it?
Title: is this real?
Post by: Chairboy on July 25, 2005, 04:01:19 PM
It's not actually pushing against earth.  Through action/reaction, it lifts itself up off the ground.  During the first few seconds, there might be a push against the earth where the exhaust it hitting it, but considering that roughly 10,000 tons of meteors hit every day, any affect the shuttle might have is subsumed into a stochastic void.

Umm, it does. It propels the shuttle up at such a velocity that it can achieve orbit. Equal and opposite reactions and all that jazz.:D

'Course, it's all relative. Could be that it's staying put and pushing the whole universe "down"...

I knew a woman a long time ago... she had a son named "Sean". She pronounced it the same way as "scene". :rolleyes:
