I would add that if everybody were to start leaving from Rhode Island in an orderly and well organised way, there would never be an end to it as the birth rate would exceed the rate that people could leave. The Mean Birth Rate (Add Born Subtract Died) is about 250,000 a day. More than the Planes trains and automobiles could cope with.

Yes, but remember that all the baby-killers in the world will be in Rhode Island too. ;P

:thumbsup:5 "The sound of all those feet hitting the ground creates a loud, drawn-out roar which lasts many seconds." That's the one part I don't get: given the inverse decay of sound intensity in air, and assuming that everyone "lands" at the same time: and assuming the sound is generated by the impact of the foot on the ground only, I would guess there would be substantial dampening of each individual's sound, since at theoretical best only a hemi-spherical zone is possible for the sound to radiate out from. Then, that zone shrinks even more because of many factors: absorption by the human body, and its clothing, creating the individual's sound; absorption of the sound by the other bodies around one (it's crowded, right ?). That the effect of the pressure-wave from mass impact could be cumulative, I think I get: but, the sound: a "roar" lasting seconds ? You're right: I never studied physics or acoustics: please do straighten me head out. thanks, Bill

Echo's won't probably occur. The people are going to be jam packed and too close to each other. The medium of propagation is not going to be empty enough for an echo to happen. Nearly, any given sound wave there will not travel too long, and will be scattered away by the crowds of people standing in its way.

Rhode Island has an area of 3.144 billion square meters. If you accept a world population of 7.034 billion, and make some assumption about the average maximum circumference of all people, all in physical contact as being at least some value ... say .25 square meters. If we estimate the capacity of a square meter as being, say, theoretically 16 "averaged out" people, we can now approximate the full capacity of Rhode Island as being roughly 48 billion people, each in a 25 centimeter square. But, given about 211 million pregnancies per year, then many of those women will occupy quite a bit more space depending on stage of pregnancy, and then factor in the incredibly obese of (particularly) America, England, and Europe, and so on. It's more likely, I think one square meter could hold at most four people in a tight squeeze, maybe three. Then throw in Roger Allen's CO2 factor, and DD's figure of 250 million women giving birth. And, then, factor in "mob panic:" epileptics having seizures; the old, and weak, and dehydrated falling down; hysterics flailing; agoraphobics gone berserk; Inuits and Eskimos having episodes of piblockto if in winter; undoubted eruption of physical violence; exhibitionists having sex; JSOP and wife claiming four square meters just for their weapons (fully loaded, safeties off) and ammo, creating FUD around them for 25 square meters, that area expanding exponentially as they target practice; Dalek Dave and family bringing large hampers of ingredients of gourmet dishes, a complete foldable table, and place settings for eight, and setting up a gas-powered grill; Rastafarians smoking large spliffs, Glory be to Jah; smokers of the world lighting up cancer-sticks, pipes, and hookahs; legions having heart attacks, and aneurysms: all leading to increased rates of respiration Now this is ugly, even vile, to think about, but: can one hypothesize that hypoxia could occur resulting in many spontaneous abortions, while others asphyxiate to death ? Ugghhh. See what a relapse of tropical-raiy-season bronchitis can do to a mind ? Bill

Considering that about 10% of the people will be suffering from some degree of flatulence at the time, the packing density might be somewhat less than your estimate. Still, that might only increase the hypoxia rate. Calculating the exact impact of this factor is left as an exercise for the student.

I would imagine that the number of port-a-potties and resulting, erm, material from 6 billion people crammed into Rhode Island (where I used to live!) would have a bigger impact than everyone jumping, hahaha! Marc

Assuming there was a way for everyone on Earth to get to the same location, safely and in health and the ability to jump (yes, you too, quadriplegics). Couldn't you assume everyone would leave via the same organized, planned manner?
