but then, now I reread the question, it just says that size doubles. What if masses remain the
same (density decreases). Would we notice?



Sure, your weight would be 1/4 what it was before since you'd be twice
as far from the center of the planet.


But the question is so vague, that it cannot be answered properly.
What "everything" means? I assume this means that the force of
gravity will go up twice too. And the electromagnetic force.
And the mass of a neutron. And the speed of light. This just
doesn't make sense. If "everything" is restricted, to one thing
only, then possibly one can answer, but this (restricting the
question) is very hard to do.

That's what I said to my father in law. I just assumed he meant
everything...mass, volume, gravity, etc.
