Is it possible, given the geographical redistribution of earth's goods and resources, that overabundance of certain materials in certain areas of the planet could contribute to a weight imbalance, thus altering the path of Earth through space?
Let's say heavy mining takes place in a poorer area of the world, with less commodities and material goods, and is sent to a (now) resource heavy area, with a wealthier population and more material goods. Over time, vast quantities of heavy materials are transferred from one area of the world to another. Weight transfer can affect the physics of a moving object and potentially alter the trajectory.
Could too much resource piling in formerly un-piled areas contribute to a change in Earth's path in space?
