Stupid question..
If everything in the universe was to shrink to half the size it is now...how would you know it had changed?

Sorry, I'm too lazy to do calculations.
However, invoking the laws of Murphy, probably the moon would be embedded just above my house.😀

For my friend Gyuri
I also like J. S. Bach, but I warn you that after hearing this, The Passion According to St. Matthew's will not be the same...😀
Sorry, is in Spanish.
Les Luthiers is an Argentine musical ensemble.
The lyrics of this work was extracted from the prospect of a laxative, and shows us all a study on the proper use and consequent effects of this precious medicine.😀

For my friend Anatoliy
This is the most Russian I found of Les Luthiers.😀
Oi Gadóñaya (Oiga doña ya = Hear Mrs. now)
At the end, some of Thales' Theorem.

If everything happened in the same proportion, we wouldn't...
In respect to what?
Stupid question..

If everything happened in the same proportion, we wouldn't...
There are so many exact solutions to the Einstein field equations, that only limit ourselves to the case more simple and popular:
Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric.
Since this is a silly answer, we don't take into account such things as dark matter and dark energy.
Regardless of what mean "in the same proportion", we have three possibilities:
1. Positive space-time curvature
If there is enough matter in the expanding universe, the expansion will one day stop and the universe will contract again.
2. Negative space-time curvature
If there is too little matter in the universe, it will expand forever.
3. Zero space-time curvature
If the amount of matter is “just right”, the expansion rate will approach zero, but the universe will never contract.
Anyway, any contraction/expansion of the universe is manifested by blueshift/redshift.
The answer is then, yes, we would notice.
To not to notice the shrink is necessary to make an assumption
Contracting and after Static Universe
In this case we would not notice, because in a static universe there is no Doppler shift due to contraction/expansion.
Are there exact solutions to the Einstein field equations, that contemplate this possibility?
I'll answer in just four words
I have no idea 😀

Today in Argentina, we celebrate friend's day.
I take this occasion to greet my friends in the forum and wish to have a nice day.🙂
The list is not is as long as I wanted
Anatoliy - Esteban - Dave - György - Jacco - Jim - Michael - Nigel - Steve - Stuart
Some even don't know they are my friends.
Others perhaps, ask the moderators to be deleted from the list.😀
"Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate"😀

To add a contact on Skype, you must first send an invitation.
The silly question
- How to call a friend who did not receive your invitation?
It may seem strange, but my best friend, a year ago that does not answer my invitation, then I took the phone and say him
- What do you expect? Signs of smoke?
He always answer
- Oh yes, I have to install the damn program soon.
Oh Lord, protect me from my friends, from my enemies I take care myself.😀
A friend is someone who knows you better than anyone else, and even still loves you...🙂

I think not, when my friend lived in Argentina, we were only "cannibals" of cows, pigs and chickens.😀
Speaking of cannibals, in a tribe, while passing a plane, the boy asks his father
- What be that, father?
To which the father answers
- To be careful, that to be great metallic bird, to eat only the inside.

The list could have been a little longer, but the guilt Mr. Alz...someone.😀
I am preparing an "asado", and suddenly I remembered one of my asado's fellow.
Well, it is said there, that he has the habit of deleting things...🙄
But every time someone joins the forum, he gives a nice welcome.🙂
Sorry.😱
Until my single neuron to wake up a little more, the list was to be
Anatoliy - Cal - Esteban - Dave - György - Jacco - Jim - Michael - Nigel - Steve - Stuart

When does Batman sleep?
Intriguing question.
During the night fighting the bad guys.
During the day is Bruce Wayne, and is too busy with his companies.
So no time to sleep.
Will we see someday "Batman Retires"?😀
During the breaks of his awful movies.
The head of a tribe has a health problem and sent an emissary to the pharmacy
- Great chief no poop
The pharmacist send a laxative and tells
- Tell him to take a daily pill
Three days after, the envoy return to the pharmacy
- Great chief no poop
The pharmacist tells
- Tell him to take three daily pills
Three days after, the envoy return to the pharmacy
- Great chief no poop
The pharmacist, worried, prepare a formulation and tells
- Tell him to take this
The next day, the envoy return to the pharmacy
- Great poop, no chief
😀

In a bar, a blind pianist with a monkey and a glass of whiskey over the piano.
A diner asks
- "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town"
The pianist plays and at the end takes a sip of whiskey.
Another asks
- "I Can Make It Thru The Days (But Oh Those Lonely Nights)"
While the pianist plays, the monkey do dirty things.
When you end the theme tells a spectator
- "The monkey put his balls in the glass of whiskey"
The blind pianist, takes another swig of whiskey and says
- Can you hum it a little? that I do not remember...
