What if everything
suddenly
doubled in size -

How would we know?

I'd have problems keeping my pants on :)

I already do :(

I just knew you would ;)

I'm going to be a happy girl tonight!!!! :D

hello....

:thumbsup:

Did all my dreams just come true? :D

And so the tone lowers...and the logic is lacking

:rolleyes: ;)

EVERYTHING doubles - including all members pants!

It might have just happend, and we just would not know...

I get ya, and was thinking the same thing here:

Because EVRYTHING doubles, Dawny aint gonna have the good night she expects. Just the same night as normal, innit?

How can the tone be lowered? :hihi:

If everything doubled in size then everything would still be in proportion so what's this thread asking again? :confused:

Doh!!! :(

Yet Another Dream Dashed!

Ive got it......If everything doubled in size, the way would know is because a MacDonalds Double Cheese Burger would become a Double Double Cheese Burger? :suspect: :confused:

Excellent point, Sugar.

Just what exactly is this thread trying to get at? :suspect: I confess I'm baffled.

Oh it was just a thought I had -
I'll get back t'graft.

You should study philosophy (or are you ?) as in...
How many melons on an angel or is it the other way round?

Hope you're not in the new ideas 'R&D' unit at work :D

I can't back this up with science, but I doubt that muscle efficiency is directly proportional to size, or the amount of energy we need to generate to heat our bodies. Gravity, on the other hand, unless you're talking about doubling size and keeping mass the same (halving density), would double the weight of everything. Objects would fall faster.

I doubt that would happen as 'everything' means 'everything, so this would include the world, the solar system and the entire universe doublong in size, so I dont think there woudl be any effects.

That makes it even worse, with the Sun and the Earth both being twice their current mass the Earth would need to be in a much faster, closer orbit - we'd burn up. Not to mention the effect of the moon on the tides, while there was still liquid water left.

Well if that is the case, then this further supports the argument that we wouldnt know about it. We would all be dead :)

LOL. I'm pretty sure it hasn't just happened then.

I suppose you could just stretch the fabric of space/time. I guess then we wouldn't know. But, since there is nothing outside the universe, the whole thing is a bit moot. (What are we stretching it into?)

How could TIME and THE SPEED OF LIGHT double in 'size'?

I ask this because if it can't - time and lightspeed aren't measurable in mass or volume - then when we send a text message it would have twice the distance (assuming distance doubles as well) to travel at the same velocity, so would take twice as long to get there. Radar would also go to cock.

At least I think so!!:confused:

MY HEAD HURTS NOW!!:gag:

This is kind of related (how unusual for me)

Have you ever seen that program where there were tiny people and giant people (freaky I know, it scared me) I've often wondered whether we were the tiny ones or the giants :confused: hmm, I've never shared this thought before

Do you mean Gullivers Travels CherryNicole?

@Saxon51, this is a good point. I thought that would happen if the Plank length were to get bigger, but then I found this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

If the speed of light c were somehow suddenly cut in half and changed to c/2 (but with all dimensionless physical quantities continuing to remain constant), then the Planck Length would increase by a factor of √8 from the point-of-view of some unaffected "god-like" observer on the outside. But then the size of atoms (approximately the Bohr radius) are related to the are related to the Planck length by an unchanging dimensionless constant:

Then atoms would be bigger (in one dimension) by √8, each of us would be taller by √8, and so would our meter sticks be taller (and wider and thicker) by a factor of √8 and we would not know the difference.


Which I think is telling me that the speed of light would get slower.

And I thought it was just me.
