What do you think?

1. What do you think would happen if Earth's pull (gravity) increased?

I think it'd become much harder to jump and sports such as the long jump, hurdles, gymnastics, and skating would quickly become less popular because they were so hard! ~ManhattanProjectGirl

Jumping, running, etc. would be way too hard. Easy things like taking out the garbage would be hard work even for strong people. That would not be good.~Morangue Pine

If gravity increased it would be bad. Rivers would speed up creating minor floods but if it is increased dramatically dams would break making catastrophic flooding, bridges would collapse, boats would sink, airplanes would crash, and buildings would fall killing millions of people. The water could also create erosion forming mountains. Most marine life would be devastated because the animals could not swim. Buildings that are vertical would probably stay up but anything leaning or things that stick out would fall. Pretty much the leaning tower of Pisa would be the first to go. Car tires would pop so we could not get around and would have to walk which would be very hard. Our world would be destroyed leaving wreckage and rubble behind. If we were not wiped out life would be very hard because we would have no technology to guide us and the simplest tasks would now be very hard. As I previously stated it would be very bad and millions of people would die. ~Bartumes

2. What if air got denser?

I think that if the air was denser, we would be able to hold our breaths for a much longer time since there would be more oxygen in each breath. That might give rise to newer and more complicated swimming strokes that require an athlete to stay underwater longer.~ManhattanProjectGirl

That would be great for swimmers, and other hold-your-breath activities; more air in each breath. You wouldn't have to breath as often when playing a woodwind or brass(blowing) instrument. ~Morangue Pine

1. Do you think dark matter exists?

I think that dark matter exists because some parts of the universe have a form of matter which can't exactly be classified as "matter" so is given the name dark matter. Dark matter isn't antimatter though because we know for sure that antimatter exists but we are still theorizing about dark matter. ~KW

2. How do you think the changing of water's density would affect life? (it can be more or less dense)

If the world's water density increased, then marine life would be devastated because that would mean there was less oxygen in the water and most animals will try to stay at the surface of the water which makes them prone to predators like ospreys and seagulls. ~KW

3. Do you believe Pluto is not a planet? If not, then how should we change the definition of a planet?

I think Pluto isn't a planet because most people believed it used to be part of a meteorite which was made spherical over time. It is so small it can almost be classified as a large moon. ~KW
