What if, the speed of the Earth's orbit were to increase to 99.99% of the speed of light?

Image
The Earth would be flung out of the Solar System, as we suddenly exceed the Solar Escape velocity ( 42 k m / s ) by several orders of magnitude. Within 3 minutes we will be outside the orbit of Mars. Within an hour we will have passed Jupiter. Within 5 hours, the Earth will be outside the orbit of Pluto. Within 16 hours, we will have overtaken Voyager 2. Within 19 hours we will have overtaken Voyager 1. Depending on the above given definition, we will leave the solar system some time between 17 hours and two days. At this point there’s a  whopping  great gap, as the planet cruises through interstellar space. Depending on what direction you head in, you may reach the following milestones (you won’t reach all of them, because they’re in opposite directions!) By the time Donald Trump’s first (only?) term ends (2021), we will have reached our nearest neighbour,  Proxima Centauri in the  α α -Centauri system By the time that the  first Mickey ...

YOUR DATA FOR SALE : The Web Data Mining

OK, let's blame it to the festive season that you have gained a few pounds in the last 2 months... And now, you have a vacation lined up, after which you will definitely be posting in quite a few pictures to flaunt a little about your latest vacation.  But then, you would want to be in shape before all this happens and someone points it out on your FB wall and embarrass you for no reason. So, here begins your weight loss spree..! It's  12 am, and you're surfing some weight loss tips. You search for a daily diet regime and exercise plan since you bet to follow it the very next morning.  While you surf, the different pages show you the clothes/shoes you surfed the other night. But you decide not to deviate from the topic but they somehow tempt you to go to their website and buy something more useful at this moment. You end up buying a weighing machine after having compared the prices at different websites and reading their reviews.  And you are now qui...

What if, everyone on Earth stood as close to each other as they could and jumped, everyone landing on the ground at the same instant?

Image
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. But there’s no reason to use the vague phrase “an area the size of Rhode Island.” This is our scenario; we can be specific. They’re actually in Rhode Island. At the stroke of noon, everyone jumps. As discussed elsewhere, it doesn’t really affect the planet. Earth outweighs us by a factor of over ten trillion. On average, we humans can vertically jump maybe half a meter on a good day. Even if the Earth were rigid and responded instantly, it would be pushed down by less than an atom’s width. Next, everyone falls back to the ground. Technically, this delivers a lot of energy into the Earth, but it’s spread out over a large enough area that it doesn’t do much more than leave footprints in a lot of gardens. A slight pulse of pressure spreads through the North American continental crust and diss...
