What If Every One On Earth Jumped At Once (+PICS) by CrazyScientist: 9:01pm On Jun 25, 2016 |
What if everyone on earth jumped at once ? would it cause an earthquake or displace the earth or even have no effect ? Let’s See… Firstly, lets talk about the earth’s rotation, the earth is spinning at over 1000m/h at the equator and this rotation can increase or reduce, like how ice skaters can increase their speed by bringing their hands closer to their body or squatting , if you squat right now, you’ve technically made this day shorter by making the earth spin a little faster, though this speed is very, very negligible (basically zero). Its negligible but on a larger mass, there can be a major impact, for instance, an earthquake in japan in 2014, shifted some of earth’s mass closer to its center and since that day, every day has been 0.0000018 seconds shorter. But that was a giant geographical event, what if we gathered every human being in one place (we are over 7BILLION now) and we all jumped at once, what would happen… First what would that even look like, If you could have every human being stand shoulder to shoulder we would cover a mere 500 square miles! Which could be about the size of city of los angeles, paris or London or even Nigeria. So what would happen if we jumped 30cm into the air at the same time, what would happen, actually, almost nothing, DotPhysics calculated that we would only push the earth away from us about 1/100th the size of an hydrogen atom, but hey,7billion people?! That’s gotta cause some kind of activity right” the BBC had 50,000 people jump at the same time and it only recorded a 0.6 on the Richter Scale, infact we would need 7MILLION times the number of people on earth right now to recreate the earthquake that happened it japan. Hmmm,How Sad… But don’t feel all that bad ,if you jump newton’s law(action and reaction are equal or opposite) is proof that you have affected the earth when you jump, if you jump 2metres in the air, the earth pulls you down 2metres, but you’s also moved the earth up a billionth of the size of a proton . Here’s more tips to make you feel better, if you pick one out of ten oranges, you’ve decimated those oranges, DECI – means ten, so next time you get 10% on an test, though you got an F, you can tell your friends if they ask you, that you DECIMATED the test.

and if the earth suddenly stop spinning, are we going to be thrown flat on our faces, buried in the ground or thrown out of earth into space? |

if you jump 2metres in the air, the earth pulls you down 2metres, The earth doesn't pull anything down. It goes slightly up to whatever goes up. The earth is in a tremendous speed as you stated and it's that speed that keeps it in orbit. If anything on earth goes up, the earth moves and meets the object. That's gravity. I have to make this clarification because we were erroneously taught in school that the earth is like a giant magnet that pulls everything down to itself. Einstein have proven that it's the earth's speed that we experience as gravity. For instance when we are in a car we get stuck fast to the seat when the driver accelerates very fast and get unstuck when he reduces speed. That's what we experience on earth as gravity. 2 Likes |

oglalasioux:My guy . . . F9 straight. simple experiment can be conducted. Your claim: The earth doesn't pull anything down. Experiment: A weight connected to the bottom of a spring and allowed to hang. Result: String is pulled down. Conclusion: Claim proved false. Your claim: The earth goes up to meet objects. Experiment: An accelerometer is placed on the ground. and on a ball. the ball is thrown up. Result: Only the ball registers motion. the accelerometer placed on the ground shows nil motion Conclusion: Claim proved false. Need I continue? Calculus25:It's called a Hypothetical Scenario. It's probably never going to happen. but talking about it is a way for intellectuals to relax and stretch their understanding of the real world. don't over think it. ikbnice:If the earth suddenly stops spinning, we may or may not be thrown out of the earth into space. the factors are: are we tied down? how much time exactly does the earth take to slow down. what part slows down? the rock or the rock AND the atmosphere? 2 Likes 1 Share |

ikbnice: We would be flung away till we collide with trees, buildings etc and die, we can't be flung out of space cause escape velocity is about 25, 000m/h and we would be moving at about 1000m/h |

Calculus25:Almost certainly untrue, given enough time the earth will in response to some factors loose momentum and slows down more and more that it could even get tidally locked.
Another wrong assertion: Yes the sun will eventually go off, its a star and stars die. The sun shines due to thermonuclear fusion it's core [hydrogen atoms fusing to form helium in a powerful nuclear explosion contained in the core] eventually the hydrogen supply will run out and the sun will burn helium to form heavier elements and thus gets larger [becomes a red giant] by then mecury, venus and possibly earth will be encompassed [even if earth is not it will be a charred glowing ball].. slowly the sun will die as it's shells shed off the core will collapse into a small white dwarf.

oglalasioux: Don't know where you got that, but I know you ought to take that reasoning back.. The earth doesn't pull us; right.. We get pushed to the earth by ether. Ether shielding is what causes us to feel gravity. It is ether shielding that allows UFOS to fly like they had no weight. It is Ether shielding that allows magnetic levitation vehicles to levitate and fly.. Here's the picture: When you have yourself, standing on the surface of the earth. Ether presses on you from all 3 dimensions of space. It doesn't press under your feet because the ground on which you stand on, shields the Ether in space from pressing under your feet. However, the ether force pressing on both sides and all round your body cancels out each other (newtons third law). But the Ether force pressing on your head, has no counteracting Ether force pressing on your feet. Eventually, the force pushing on your head plays the lead. And you get pushed towards the earth, even when you try to jump up. So there you have it in a nutshell; Ether pushing us to the earth, and we, calling her 'gravity'. |

Pakingzzz: In all the mentions it's you that sounded reasonable so let me answer you. First you didn't mention that the earth pulls like a magnet. You said Ether, which you admitted is low around the feet, rather pushes everything down. Secondly, I'll like you to reexamine Einstein's two elevators thought experiment. Thirdly, is it the sun pulling the earth in orbit or the curvature of space time as a result of the weight of the sun? What keeps the earth in speed around it's orbit? Is it the sun or curvature of space time? 1 Like |
