Where's that atmosphere? Wait...where's the sun? Where's all life on earth?!

The gnome was proven wrong!

If the air is accelerating upwards along with everything else, wouldn't that mean that if you inhaled a lot of air, and then jumped, you would be able to jump higher than normal?

Just when I thought the "rotation of the Earth = gravity" statement was the dumbest of the week, you come along and post this gem.

Thank you.

EDIT: There is also no reason that humans, as well as any other life form, wouldn't be accelerating upwards too, considering how we are made out of the same stuff the earth is made of...

Still waiting for an answer.
