The German artist Torsten Lauschmann founded World Jump Day. His website introduced and popularised the concept. The day was first celebrated on July 20, 2006, after the site had registered nearly 600,256,200 jumpers! Lauschmann exhibited leaping as an art installation to bring attention to global warming.
There is no shortage of scientifically sound (or non-scientifically sound) strategies for combating global warming. Among them is the annual celebration of World Jump Day on July 20. The day seeks to alter the Earth’s orbit, extend daylight hours, and create a more uniform climate across the globe. This day is observed to take a humorous but serious look at the extremely serious issue of global warming and climate change. It is impossible to alter the Earth’s orbit, but jumping is a lot of joy!

Today, the day is celebrated mostly in jest, as we are all aware that our combined weight on Earth is so negligible that it has no effect on the planet’s orbit. The day is widely regarded as unscientific and has been discredited. Whatever the reason, leaping is enjoyable and beneficial exercise.
World Jump Day is observed at precisely 11:39:13 GMT. At this juncture, millions of Western Hemisphere residents simultaneously jump. This would halt global warming! Some scientists believe that if 600 million people jump at the same time, the earth will move slightly from its orbit, thereby increasing the distance between the Sun and the Earth and decreasing the danger of global warming. It is predicated on the theory that variations in the earth’s mass will affect its orbit. Obviously, it has not been demonstrated that millions of people jumping at the same moment would alter the Earth’s orbit.
