The Day the Earth Moved

World Jump Day, held on 20th July 2006, was an attempt to stop global warming by altering the planet’s orbit. Did it work? Pictures and Emails from those who took part tell the story of an unprecedented international experiment

Messages to Dr Hans Niesward and Torsten Lauschmann, project managers of World Jump Day:

Hey guys, I understand you want to give a positive change to our planet, improve our lifestile, but tell me, who was the crazy mind that invented this WORLD JUMP DAY? I bet you did it to sell some t-shirts and some stickers because such intelligent people like you can understand that if a person jumps in Italy and another one jumps in Japan at the very exact time (GTM right?) the effect of the force given to the ground is equal and opposite… so even trying to believe your hypothesis about changing the orbit of the planet you see it’s obvious that we should jump AT LEAST all in a close place to impress a force in a specific point to move the planet. Anyway i think it’s crazy, I would like to hear some scientific explanations more than a simple “scientific research has proven blabla....” And, trust me, study web design more than planet driving It will help you more in life.
