all faced the same direction and started running at the exact same time, would the planet move faster?? And if it were possible, how would we stop it again or would we end up falling and go spinning off into space?

If you jump straight up in the air, do you come down in a different spot a couple of feet away? No. Why? Gravity.
For the same reason, if the world participated in your experiment, they would essentially stay in the same theoretical place not effecting the rotation of the earth.
Let's use you as an example. Since it was your idea, the world leaders give you the honor of being first to start. You start running. You push off with one foot and move a couple of feet forward. YOU move differently, not the Earth. The Earth just keeps rollin' along. Same with all your co-runners.
But we can't even get people to agree on the easy stuff, how would we ever get everyone to agree to your stunt - though it would be interesting.

Well I not sure which is weird because I'm good at science i don`t think we will fall in to space becuase down south nobay falls i think maybe we can make it move faster beucase the dust can make it go faster in to time beucase it will take a shoter time for it to move so yea

No silly ! We would all fall off because if we all went in the same direction we would all end up the same end !

No, everyone would have to be fixed points in space for it to work. (separate from the rotation of the planet.) Also, what happens when you roll over the coast, we'd all have to have diving gear on.

What if everyone in the world jumped at the same time?

not a chance, the earth moves faster than a person running anyway.

no, its all about weight, the earth = 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 metric tonnes
for as many humans to weigh the same everybody would have to weight millions of metric tonnes, which they (thankfully) don't, theres just not enough mass to make a difference

I don't know but we might be able to 'tilt' it a little. Good luck getting cooperation from everyone!
