Hokus Pokus Junk Science. We have no idea what causes Gravity and we sure as
hell cannot measure it on Jupiter.

Looks like the only way Rossane Barr and Rosie O’Doughnuts are going to loose weight.

Complete baloney.
The gravitational force exerted on you by the Earth is:
Fe = Gmemyou/r2e
The force exerted on you by Jupiter similarly is:
Fjupiter = Gmjupitermyou/dist2jupiter
The relative force of the two is: Fe/Fj = me/mj * dist2/r2e
At nearest approach, Jupiter is 600 million Km, and the center of the earth is 6300 Km away. Jupiter's mass is about 320 earth masses. Plug it in and find that:
Fe/Fj = 2.9 x 107
That is, the gravitational attraction exerted by the Earth on you is 29 million times greater than Jupiter's.
You could put a whole 'nother Jupiter right behind the real Jupiter at its closest approach to Earth, and it would keep you "floating in the air" around 1/10,000,000th of a second longer than one Jupiter does. The effect of tiny, far more distant Pluto is unlikely to have an additional effect that can even be measured within the Uncertainty Principle.
This, incidentally, tells you why astrology is crap. The gravitational attraction of a fat obstetrician exerts more of an influence on you the instant you're born than the largest planet in the solar system.

The earth pulls on you about 2.8 million times more than Jupiter does when it is closest to Earth. When it is farthest from earth, Earth’s pull is about 10 million times more than Jupiter’s.

BUT if you jump in the air at 9:47AM local time on January 4th 2014, it should take you about 3 seconds to land back on your feet instead of the usual 0.2 seconds.I'm calling it BULLCRAP.

If you think you will be able to float around your house then you will be mistaken. BUT if you jump in the air at 9:47AM local time on January 4th 2014, it should take you about 3 seconds to land back on your feet instead of the usual 0.2 seconds.
To: kjam22
I like how they put this. If you jump you will have .3 seconds hangtime not .2 seconds. Why not say if you step on a scale you will weigh 150 lbs instead of 200 lbs. Cause that would be too easily disprovable.

What happens if
everyone on earth jumps into the air at 9:47 a.m. local time on January 4, 2014? Zombie apocalypse?
And what's all this about planet Pluto? (I thought there wasn't a planet Pluto.)
