what will happen if all people on Earth jump at the same instant?

- There would be a huge sound like an applause. At 200 decibels (the loudest possible sound ever created on Earth), it could shatter ear drums. For context, a jet engine produces 150 decibels of sound at takeoff, and our pain threshold is at 120 decibels.
- The ground would begin to shake, and if the jump happened near the coast, it could trigger a tsunami with 100-feet-tall waves.
- The shaking could also lead to an earthquake falling in the 4-8 magnitude range. That means it could be anywhere from a light shake to one that could cause some major destruction to bridges, railways, electric lines, and buildings.
Despite all this happening on the ground, though, the effects wouldn't be felt in outer space. Sorry, but more than 7 billion jumping people aren't a good way to shift the Earth's orbit, no matter how cool it would be.
