What would happen if everyone on Earth jumped at the same time

If everyone on Earth jumped at the same time, we wouldn't change the Earth's orbit in space, but we could cause a lot of damage on Earth. Special thanks to astrophysicist Paul Sutter at The Ohio State University and physicist Mark Boslough at Sandia National Laboratories for their invaluable help on this project.

“Hey Guys let’s jump at the same time!”
“OK”
(Later)
“Crap we’re dead”

Not all 7 billion people would be able to jump. Some people are in wheel chairs and some are disabled and aren’t able to walk. There are also babies who have no idea what’s going on.

Now I reduce my jumping just in case the tiny chance occurs that everyone jumps at the same time as me

Teacher:What's the best way to decrease population?
Me:To make everyone jump in the same time!

[Wow-dseq]

But there would just be that one person who ruins everything

Edit: this is my most liked comment...

I think they assumed that every human being was obese.

[kakashijm]

what will happen if all people FART at the same time

[marshmxlo]

Me: *watches the video* Oh, Who is stupid enough to jump at the same time?

Also. Me * jumps*

[iloveeatingcupcakes]

Don’t worry I’ll be that one person who doesn’t jump I’ll save humanity your welcome

[raiynora]

I swear whenever my brother jumps off the top of his bunk bed all of America can hear him

EDIT: Jesus Christ, everybody is triggered, even VSauce was talking about this, this is all lies!

This video is wrong, nothing will happen. All of us jumping at once is like an ant trying to push a giant piano, nothing happens, the most that will happen is simply the Earth moving by one tenth of a hydrogen atom, maybe even less.

earth: hey moon did u felt something weird
Moon: what?
Earth: I felt like a very small thing touched me from everywhere
Moon : nah its properly nothing

[athing]

So it’s like when every character stomps in New Super Mario Bros. Wii? 😃

[jayfawn]

At least they compress a typical 10mins vsauce video into one minute

[oliviajane]

Your thumbnail gave me inspiration, what would happen if everyone suddenly looked the same on Earth?

[bantuu]

Somehow this is related to business.. Huh

[NOVA-eikj]

There'll always be some idiots who'll jump before or after everyone's done

[steviachua]

Oooohhh so does that mean we are Mother Earth?😂
Well we can make earthquakes, tsunamis, we can burn stuff(electrical ), and more.

[janetcasaclang]

what we have learned, NEVER JUMP!!! EVEN IF THERE ARE SNAKES AROUND YOU!!!! and tsunamies are easily triggered by earthquake

[ElDantae]

I used to think about this ALL THE TIME!! Thanks for uploading!!
