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”

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

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

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

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.
