   If the whole left side of the universe would disappear, would you feel a strong gravitational attraction to your right or would it pretty much stay the same?

     @lain Not entirely sure what "the whole left of the universe" exactly entails, but in general and with current understanding, my guess would be that you wouldn't feel that :blobfoxthinking: If there's a gravitational attraction change, the earth would start to accelerate in a different direction to compensate, so the net result to you would be the same. Otoh, there will be a stronger force on one side of the planet then the other, but I'm not sure how much of a difference that would make :blobfoxthink: Or maybe you're on the "left part" who disappeared, in which case you may not feel anything at all any more :blobfoxo_o:
