Hehehe...

Ok, so... assuming the average human weighs 80kg and taking the estimated population of China to be as the current estimate (around 1.32 billion), that means the population of China would weigh around 105.75 billion kilograms! That's around 1/14th the weight of the Moon!

So if everyone in China jumped off a table 1 metre high and landed at the same time, they'd land with a force of about 103 megatons -- which is around twice as much energy as the most powerful nuclear device ever tested (and 5-10 times as powerful as the famous Tunguska Fireball).

On a global scale though, and across the area of China, that's not actually all that powerful. Wink


I like this thread! This is turning into a kind of mental gymnasium! Very Happy

I think that makes about 525 Megatons. That's a lot.

If nothing else, that much pressure across all the continents would probably cause some wacky plate tectonics. My guess is there'd be synchronised earthquakes and volcanic eruptions worldwide... Probably a lot of dust kicked up into the atmosphere too.
