Bilbo's Questions on life and stuff

[donnydarkoIRL]

I everything doubled our point of measurment would not stay the same would they. If a Mili metre is the space between these two lines /.. / double it /......./....Its not a milimetre anymore. So we would know.

We would double at the same time. The sapce would appear the same and everything you would try to measure would be twice as big. Therefore the unit remains the same or equivalent, as I said algebra.
x=y
2x=2y

I'm agreeing with you on this Donny,

Thanks Bilbo, alwyas good to have some backup

If the Earth doubled in size every second then everyone would be crushed by the massive shift in the gravitational pull well within the first 2 seconds

Well first off it's every 24 hours not every second. And besides that we are talking about EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE doubling in size.

Every single atom, particle and piece of anti matter in the universe double in size.

How would we tell? Is there a way?

Well that doesn't change things too much....if something grows it doesn't necessarily mean it grows stronger as well or in proportion to the size/mass growing

This Is a little off topic, But Is there anyf!!!! thing that smells worse than when you run steaming hot water over a knife with peanut butter on It I noticed It while doing the dishes and Man THAT s!!! was stanky!
Ok,smart people back In the thread please.

Metres and millimetres are measured using the speed of light and time, a metre being roughly one three hundred millionth of a light-second (the distance light travels in a second.) Both time and the speed of light would be unaffected if everything doubled in size, so a milli/metre would still be the same size it was previoulsy.

Well I'm still not convinced to be honest, but we'll never settle it here.

I'm going to email a scientist and find out. I'm going to start googling NASA scientists and ask one of them.

Then we will know definitively.

What bit are you not convinced about?
