How would an increase of 0.5% of the gravitational constant of the universe affect the mean orbit of the moon?

Question

This has been bothering me for some time.

Answer 1

the orbit would decrease meening the moon would get closer to earth...if it happend tomorrow going by my calcalations the moon would land on rhyl beach on 27th june 2110 at about 1400hrs

Answer 2

As with many excessively hypothetical questions (if everything was upside down, what would you do for a living?), the question is ambiguous and subject to multiple interpretations. The simplest is that someone somehow just turns the gravity knob up instantaneously throughout the entire universe. This might cause the sun to implode, supernova, and eliminate the moon entirely. So, the answer is that it would eliminate the moon's orbit.

Answer 3

If my calculations are correct, I think council tax would also go up 6%
