Imagine millions of people jumping at the same time — could we actually shake the Earth? Scientists did the math and found that even a massive synchronized jump would barely make the planet tremble. The Earth's mass is so huge that our best efforts would be like a fly bumping into a freight train. Still, the idea is wild enough to make you wonder: what if we could create a worldwide "earthquake" party? Some experts say it would be harmless fun, while others warn it could mess with sensitive structures or ecosystems. So sure, we could try — but maybe we should think twice before turning Earth into our dance floor!
