☕ From the small print, I see you might want to organise a revolution. If you organized everyone on the earth to jump in one direction at once, say those in one hemisphere, while the rest of us, just uselessly bathing in the blue light under the Southern Cross, maybe all suddenly drop to the floor at your command. But , as promising as it might sound, like the recoil that affects the gun, given that the bullet people all hit it back again after falling back down, this is a problem with conservation of angular momentum. And.. we are pulling the earth adding all our tiny gravitational contributions, so we lost all the progress we make during our revolt. Its like flapping your arms and trying to move.. while coasting on a raft. You make a bit of motion you favor, but the counterrevolutionary reaction, equal and opposite is unavoidable.

☕ To make it happen, you need a force from outside the system. An Alien agent. Something not of the Sun, Earth, or those that are held my Earths gravity. I suggest that you ee the film Melancholy. A bit heavy if you are truly a fifth grader, but its a good story about an asteroid that might affect Earths orbit. One of the few science fiction works with realistic science -and- great fiction, not geek fiction, or clueless pseudoscience. And Kirsten Dunst is in it. Charlotte Gainsbourg , and Lars Von Trier.
