Should all people on Earth raise their hands to the Sun, at the same time?

Well, if it was possible, which due to the changing position of the sun it is not, ( the people on the dark side of the globe would be holding their hands pointing away from the sun) it would be a harmless but pointless exercise. Now a better experiment would be to have everyone on one side of earth to jump up at the same time. Is there a mathematician on board who could calculate the affect of such an event? 1

Actually, I know an answer to this! Long story short, it wouldn't shift the Earth much at all. 1

I personally believe they are for the most part imaginary, but generally they are seen as real. The physical act of lifting hands towards the sun is entirely irrelevant, it may as well be a phrase which is understandable across any language, or a bodily feature every human has. The symbol that would provide as a connecting quality or unity of thought or ideas bring people together. However we already have many such qualities that should do this, yet we subdivide ourselves further regardless based on minute details, as if seeking enemies. But even if we didn't throw this united action aside with the rest, it wouldn't come close to patching all the holes between people who've decided to set each other apart. I don't think it's as gloomy as i've made it sound though. Things do generally seem to be better now than they were any number of years ago |
