World Jump Day

Anyone heard of the latest event recently, Known as WORLD JUMP DAY? The objective and aim of this day is, to get enough people in the world (600 million give or take a few million) to JUMP at a certain time together, so that the Earth's orbit around the sun will be ever so slightly altered and reverse global warming.

This sounds like a joke, or rather ridiculous, but alittle knowledge in Physics will convince you with this.

For a person to jump off the surface of the Earth, Newton's Third Law guarantees that the Earth will feel a reaction force equal and opposite to the force generated by jumping. This then to an excellent approximation cancels the impulse of the force generated on impact. The only effect of 6 billion jumping human beings will be lots of sore kneecaps and a few stress lines in concrete all over the world, and the earth's days changing ever so slightly in duration.

According to research, this changes planetary position and will very likely stop global warming, extend day-time hours and creates a more homogenous climate.

According to Singapore hours, the time where all people will jump will be at 20 July 2006, 1939hrs 13 sec...
