One bare foot, the heel raised one centimeter above the dry ground, about to push off. \r\n \r\nThe total mass of humanity is less than one ten-thousandth of the mass of the Earth. A human jump transfers only a few hundred joules to the ground, while the Earth receives impacts one hundred million times larger every day from other causes. The Earth would not move from its orbit by a measurable fraction, but the ground would receive something, and that something is not movement but vibration, and vibration travels. \r\n \r\nIf a seismic pulse were to arise from the collective jump, something would have to receive it and transmit it downward.\r\n\r\nThis episode was created with artificial intelligence: AI-assisted script and AI-generated (synthetic) voice.","author_name":"Creators Obomedia"}
