*does a pretty little calculation*
We'd make about 9m/s thrust (earth's huge momentum against the weight of about 6billion people weighing around 75kgs).
However, if we did it on the moon, the moon would reach the escape velocity needed to plummet towards the sun
EVERYONE TO THE MOON!
I'm curious to see the pretty calculation, if you don't mind.
The Earth is so massive (5.97 x 10^24 kg) compared to 6 billion humans weighing in at 75 kg each (4.5 x 10^11 kg) that, if momentum is to be conserved (as it must), the Earth cannot move as much as you're suggesting. Heck, for all intensive purposes, it wouldn't move at all.
The moon is not light by any means either (7.35 x 10^22 kg), and I cannot see how it would be thrown off its current orbit. I've relooked at my Physics book, and I cannot find anything on gravitational laws or momentum conservation that suggests anything remotely as extreme as that.

we could always blow the earth up instead.
all you need is somthing like the equivelent of about two-hundred litres of gasoline per sqaure foot...

If people were to commune to Africa and pee in the desert, wouldn't that allow some vegetation to grow, making the land more sustainable to vegetation, reducing poverty and allowing an entire continent a fighting chance. Does this not make sense!
Come on people!
Give Pee A Chance!
pee is way to alkeline to make any useful differane,
wed probably kill what is there
besides, we cant destroy the moon, i have great plans for the moon!
great secret plans!
okay, i want to turn it into unicron and get him to go smush some of the universe.
wee is acidic not alkaline i think.
*googles*
The glomerular filtrate of blood is usually acidified by the kidneys from a pH of approximately 7.4 to a pH of about 6 in the urine. Depending on the person's acid-base status, the pH of urine may range from 4.5 to 8.
yeah, unless you're in alkalosis you have acidic wee

errr... waste material is made alkeline after leaving the stomach?
i know pigeon waste is acidic, thats why they only have one leg.

urine is used heavily in maintaining the acid base balance of your body, so it can be either, but assuming you're not drinking acid or eating lots of salt, your urine would normally be slightly acidic.
and what do you mean after it leaves your stomach?
and what was that about pigeons and one leg?
Sun Jun 26, 2005 11:18 am
once waste leaves the stomch, it is converted to an alkeline state by the... Gaul bladder i think, because the intestines arent protected against the acid.
And ever noticed pigeons with only one leg?
thats because when they pee, it tends to dribble down there leg, and over time it is eroded away.

thats got nothing to do with wee tho.... they're completely different systems

all waste material is processed through the stomach then the intestines.
thats basic biology, unless i got totally turned around while playing poker.
(probably not the best thing to do in a science lesson, but im fairly certain i got the gist of the workings of the body)

erm.... the urinary system is different to the intestines. the intestines give you your poo. your kidneys give you your wee. Trust me, i'm doing medical science.

then i concede the point.
really was a bad idea to play poker in lessons i guess
edit: still wouldnt do africa any favours to pee all over the the continent would it.

I dare you to record a single about this happening. o.o
Sun Jun 26, 2005 2:14 pm
ALA band aid?
band cool-aide maybe?
save the world from the dangers of people trying to water africa?
we could then use the money to fund my vast armies of evil.
assuming i promise to not reduce africa to its constituent atoms like the rest of the universe or somthing?

I'm not sure if reading this thread made me smarter, more confused or what. O___O
All I have to say is, see what you started Yukio?!

a combination therin?
for example: i learned to actually pay attention in biology
thank bob that paeleontology involves absolutely no biology really.

Just curious, but how do you know that?
Anyway, I think there was an earthquake or two that made the Earth's axis shift, or at least wobble.
