do you weigh 900 stone or something?Every morning when I get up I do 100 jumping jacks in the exact same spot. I think eventually the cumulative force of me jumping on that one spot could change the orbit of the earth.
so what if, instead, we just destroy the moon, thus causing all the oceans and large bodies of water to suddenly slosh to one side, the force and weight of all that water moving at once will then knock the earth out of orbit and send us off into some other trajectory, achieving the OP's goal in a roundabout way?You'd have to bring the moon along with us or the tides would get all screwed up and mess up the ocean/coastal ecosystems where most people live.
Wouldn’t work. Not enough force.so what if, instead, we just destroy the moon, thus causing all the oceans and large bodies of water to suddenly slosh to one side, the force and weight of all that water moving at once will then knock the earth out of orbit and send us off into some other trajectory, achieving the OP's goal in a roundabout way?
Even crashing the moon into the earth wouldn't change it's orbit unless it was head-on or tail-on, the mechanics just aren't with you. It would be 'easier' (though maybe less effective) to bombard the earth with objects from the asteroid belt head- or tail-onso what if, instead, we just destroy the moon, thus causing all the oceans and large bodies of water to suddenly slosh to one side, the force and weight of all that water moving at once will then knock the earth out of orbit and send us off into some other trajectory, achieving the OP's goal in a roundabout way?
The total mass of the asteroid belt is estimated to be 2.39×1021 kg, which is 3% of the mass of the Moon.
You mean like a non-newtonian fluid? That shit just boggle my mind.I'm going to say no. The earth isn't a rigid body. I'm going to say, given the forces needed, it's going to behave more like a fluid than a solid when you apply that amount of thrust to it.
It's not a sphere like a glass marble that you could glue jets to, attach jets big enough to move the earth and they are just going to zoom off with maybe a little chunk of rock attached.

People that arbitrarily slow and speed up their videos so the viewer can't see what the hell is going on should be taken out and maimed.You mean like a non-newtonian fluid? That shit just boggle my mind.
Someone has to stop the mice.Right up there with demolishing Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
Well if it was tiny tiny tiny ships and instead of going opposite directions we make em go opposite opposite directions and we make em go *reeeeaaaaal* fast.... Then *MAYBE*.If one cabled two ships together and sent them off in opposite directions, could we cut the earth in half with a giant cable saw?
now now now, maybe we should test if first!Wouldn’t work. Not enough force.
Now that IPads comes with a calculator app, humanity is saved!now now now, maybe we should test if first!
