I thought of that before but I'm pretty sure nothing will happen, probably just a world record of Americans jumping.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When everyone jumps, the earth is pushed away from the jumpers. As the earth's gravity pulls the people back to the surface, the jumpers' gravity pull the earth towards their feet. These effects on the earth's position are so minute, however, that you or I could never hope to measure them.

Absolutely nothing. If you took every single human being in the entire world, and gave them each a 2 foot by 2 foot square, they would all fit in an area the size of Jacksonville, FL...which compared to the entire world, is miniscule.

Do you really think you can get every American to jump up and down without one of them getting shot in the process?

We might realize how out of shape we are! World will not end but if we can get billions of Chinese to do it at the same time shock waves might trigger earthquakes.

100% of the world would know Americans are nuts instead of 99%

They would all get flat feet to match their flat heads.
With any luck the Continental US would sink below the sea.

This already happened, and all the nuts rolled to California.
