It’s been examined before, including by a ScienceBlogs post and a Straight Dope article. They cover the kinematics pretty well. However, they don’t tell the whole story. Let’s take a closer look. At the start of the scenario, the entire Earth’s population has been magically transported together into one place.
This crowd takes up an area the size of Rhode Island. At the stroke of noon, everyone jumps. As discussed elsewhere, it doesn’t really affect the planet. Next, everyone falls back to the ground.
