No, we’re just too “less.”

it is enough to understand impetus, and such ideas are already history.

It is for crying that physical laws always cross the great ideas.

No, even if all humans were hopping on one side of the hemisphere at the same time, they would have no significant influence on the movement of the earth. The mass of the earth is enormous compared to the total mass of humanity. The movement of the earth is determined mainly by factors such as the influence of the moon, the sun and other celestial bodies as well as by geological activities. The simultaneous jump of all people would only have a negligibly tiny effect which would not be measurable or perceptible.

10^10 people have a mass of about 6*10^11 kg.

1 m^3 stone has a mass of 3*10^3 kg ;

1 km^3 stone has about 3*10^12 kg

In the event of a large volcano eruption, much larger quantities of rock (e.g. Krakatau about 20 km3 ) are ejected.

In any case, however, the pulse retention rate applies first. Even if the earth would be thrown out of its path by the rise of human beings, this will rise again at the moment when people come back.

Pardon, I must improve, if people were to reach the flight speed of about 11 km/s during their jumping, this would result in a small change in the ground. But the problems on Earth would be much lower.

No, you underestimate the mass of the earth, this is much greater than the mass of all people. In addition, the mass of all living beings also belongs to the mass of the earth. At the same time, energy would be released to the earth when all human beings are hopping, but it is absorbed and would fall into the geological processes within the earth, which constantly release much more energy.

Yeah, we could. Long a hopper. You wouldn’t notice. And after that everything would be back to the old man.

From a SPIEGEL contribution:

“The question as to whether 1.3 billion Chinese can trigger an earthquake had been answered by the geophysicist before the experiment at the Nürburgring. “I’ve beat this,” Lühr said, it’s an energy of 10.12 Smell Joule. This would correspond to an earthquake of Magnitude one – nothing special for geophysicists. Such earthquakes frequently occur and can be detected solely with measuring instruments. Humans, however, only notice earthquakes from a strength of three.”

the earth would hardly move, but it could drown and tsunamis arise.

However, people jump at least from 30 meters high to trigger a pulse when impinging with the correct speed.

Imagine that all bacteria on the skin would bounce – would you bring this out of balance?
