what would happen if everyone on Earth dude is close to each other as they could and jump everyone landing on the ground the same instant for an answer. Let's take a closer look. At the start of the scenario, the entire Earth's population has been magically transported together into one place. This crowd takes up an area the size of Rhode Island, but there's no reason to use the vague phrase an area the size of Rhode Island. This is our scenario. We can be specific. They're actually in Rhode Island. At the stroke of noon, everyone jumps as discussed elsewhere. It doesn't really affect the planet. Earth outweighs us by a factor of over 10 trillion. On average, we humans converted Clea jump, maybe have a meter on a good day. Even if the Earth were rigid and responded instantly, it would be pushed down by less than an Adam's wit. Next, everyone falls back to the ground. Technically, this delivers a lot of energy into the earth, but it's spread out over a large enough area that it doesn't do much more than leave footprints and a lot of gardens. A slight pulse of pressure spreads through the North American continental crust and dissipates with little effect. The sound of all those feet hitting the ground creates allowed, drawn out roar, which lasts many seconds. Eventually, the air grows quiet. Seconds past, everyone looks around. There are a lot of uncomfortable glances. Someone coughs. A cell phone comes out of a pocket. Within seconds. The rest of the world's five billion phones follow. All of them, even though is compatible with the region's towers, are displaying some version of no signal. The cell networks have all collapsed under the unprecedented load. Outside Rhode Island, abandoned machinery begins grinding to a hole. The T F Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, handles a few 1000 passengers a day. Assuming they got things organized, including sending out scouting missions to retreat fuel, they could run it 500% capacity for years without making a dent in the crowd.
