If you deleted half the matter in the universe how fast would you accelerate towards the remaining half?
If you went to the Earth's very centre you'd feel weightless. I assume the same is true for interstellar space? Even though the influence of gravity from objects is negligible it would accumulate, no? The mass in the universe could be pulling on you from all directions. How strong is that gravitational force and how fast would it accelerate you?

should teachers give special treatment to students with brainlet parents and ignore students who have intelligent and well educated parents?

As Carbon Dioxide Grows More Abundant, Trees Are Growing Bigger, Study Finds

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41
Trees are feasting on decades of carbon dioxide emissions and growing bigger as a result, according to a new study of U.S. forests.
Scientists tracked wood volume in 10 different tree groups from 1997 to 2017, finding that all except aspen-birch grew larger. Over that same period, carbon dioxide levels went from 363 parts per million to 405 parts per million, owing largely to the burning of fossil fuels. More abundant CO2 accelerates photosynthesis, causing plants to grow faster, a phenomenon known as “carbon fertilization.” The findings were published in the journal Nature Communications.
The study suggests that even as warming threatens forests by fueling drought, insect infestations, and wildfires, rising CO2 levels mean that tree-planting is an increasingly cost-effective method of fighting climate change, as the same number of trees can sequester more carbon, said Brent Sohngen, an environmental scientist at Ohio State University and coauthor of the study.
“While we’re putting billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we’re actually taking much of it out just by letting our forests grow,” Sohngen said in a statement. “We should be planting more trees and preserving older ones, because at the end of the day they’re probably our best bet for mitigating climate change.”

Biology student here, i kinda have a question cause i cant figure it out and neither can gpt. I like to browse weird fetish reddits to see what kind of shit redditors are into. Yesterday i discovered a degen subreddit all about shrinking ones penis and it has been a ride of seeing what redditors will do to themselves.
However i came across one comment, and only one on the entire internet that mentioned a method and I dont get how it works and neither does gpt.
It mentioned silicon scar removal cream as a "good way" to shrink ones dick, and i just dont get how that works (didnt even know scar removal cream existed). Seeing as i have scars on both my face, shoulders and one right above my penis, i'd like to know how this can damage stuff like the penis, both out of curiosity and wanting to remove my scars with consideration to be careful around my nether region. Any doctors or biologists that know how or why this does what it does in terms of damage and how safe other tissue is?

This month I decided to be more productive and, out of the 31 days that there are in May, I managed to study in 17 of them for approximately 2 hours per day and it still wasn’t enough, my grades are just as bad.
