1) Empirical and theoretical scientific research never "prooves" anything
2) Why would we want a more homogenous climate?

 

[Johnny_Big]

The climate is changing a lot year after year. The ozone barrier and stuff like that are making the UV radiations get easier penetration to the atmosphere...increasing the temperature to high levels.

I think that would make us far from the sun...maybe? To get a more homogenous climate. Still, this is is very stupid...and I hardly believe, but it is quite funny to see that site. Maybe some people will jump...

You weren't a member of the research team, were you?

The climate changes a lot . . . on a geological timescale. And again, why would we want a homogenous climate?

if this actually happens some crazy **** might take place. if enough people jump, e.g. all of china, there will be one hell of an earthquake

good old Chaos Theory in full-swing here i see.

haha I remember coming accross this website ages ago, just got an e-mail from them reminding me to jump tommoroow

 

[MaSsiVe]

I just hope no one wakes me up for that.

Haha, in the words of Maddox: How do these retards manage to breathe?

most retarded thing I've read all day after D-12's posts.

felt i had to post Wiki's findings on this:

* It is impossible to permanently change the Earth's orbit using the planet's own mass (which includes that of the world's population) unless such mass is ejected from the Earth at escape velocity (see Newton's third law of motion). The center of gravity of the system containing the earth and its population of humans will remain in the exact same orbit it was always in throughout the jump. However, for the very brief moment when the jumpers are in the air, the Earth's orbit would be moved a tiny bit - only to be restored to its exact same location by the force of gravity acting between the jumpers and the planet while they are in the air.

* Even ejecting such mass from the Earth (or colliding to it from outer space), the resulting energy would be equivalent to only 2% of the energy released by a modern hydrogen bomb, shifting the Earth's orbit just a small fraction of the radius of a single atom [1]

* Since the Earth's orbit is elliptic, there are already great variations in its distance from the Sun (about 5,000,000 km) with no generally noticeable changes in temperature.

* Applying a brief force to the surface of the earth would not move its orbit further from the sun - it would merely change the shape of the ellipse - so at some times of year the earth would actually be closer to the sun whilst at others it would be further away.

* The registered users counter seems to go both up and down. For a point of reference, at 21:37 on 18th July 2006, it was at 598,196,296 but just 15 minutes later it had dropped to around 598,106,000.

so you mean to tell me 598 million people registered in that site? I find that a bit hard to believe...

Damn, that's even tinier than D-12's cock.
