Could the weight of 7 billion people have anything to do with it?

The stuff that people are made of comes from the Earth to begin with, so the weight of the Earth would be the same whether or not that weight was tied up in people.

It's Heisenberg uncertainty principle... One day more people fart towards the west and less to the east... next day different ratio... And if you catch them in the act and give them a bad look they keep it in or conceal it and fart like ninjas and you never know who farted which way... just never know.
