Would there be a difference if we voting slowly, one by one?
If you liquefied every human on earth and poured them all into one cube, it would only be about 800M per side. Humans collectively aren’t that significant.
For comparison all insects would take up a 1km cube.
As a misanthropic Anti-Natalist that views humanity as the ultimate nightmare creature… Please tell us more about melting humans and the destruction of all sentient life!
Per XKCD, nothing significant would happen. Even if all the people were standing in roughly the same area, the Earth would be moved by “less than an atom’s width.” If people were spread out randomly across the Earth, all the forces effectively cancel, and even less happens.
But that’s everyone jumping on land, not into the ocean.
Oh, jumped IN at the same time. I missed an important word there.
Actually, I’m a physicist from the world famous ETH in Zürich Switzerland, and my team and I have been working on exactly that question for the past five years! We have created an exciting theoretical model (manuscript has been submitted to PNAS, in second round of corrections). We are now focusing on a series of experiments to substantiate our theoretical findings. Alas, Switzerland is a notoriously landlocked country, due to which such experiments are hard to realize. In addition, strict nudity in public laws apply. As a result, all our grants were canceled, and we are now unemployed.
Splash.
Have you calculated this before? You came up with an answer awfully quick.
Checks out
There’d be a lot of piss mixed in.
We would literally never know.
