What are the proper ways to say that something gets smaller (decreases in size) in one word?
I am not asking about cases when what we discribe represents a measure of something (price, volume, weight, height). In those cases I know that it is correct to say, for example
The price decreases

> All in all, the scientists discovered planetary systems with rocky planets divided into two main groups — ones poor in aluminum-26 that mostly formed ocean planets, and ones rich in aluminum-26 like the solar system, which formed small, water-depleted worlds. The researchers found that rocky exoplanets poor in aluminum-26 can prove so rich in water, they could be about 10 percent larger in diameter than rocky exoplanets rich in aluminum-26, because water is less dense than rock.
@Jasper I thought I had it already. Don't everybody in love with me? Or aren't rather? Or isn't?
Word of the eve: gore (a triangular or rhomboid piece of fabric, especially one forming part of a three-dimensional surface such as a sail, skirt, hot-air balloon, etc.)
The number of ropes (suspension lines) is not arbitrary. Between every two gores (sectors) there is a load tape which transfers load from fabric canopy to lines. The width of lobed sectors (gores) is limited by strength of the fabric. Typically, the fabric is at least two times weaker than the fi...
I only knew "gore" to mean "a lot of blood" and "the inventor of the Internet"
The article is exciting. The possibility to understand what drove the creation of our world.
@Jasper I hope scientists come up with a way to genetically switch one's brain to pre-pubertal mode in order to get rid of the desire for a sex partner. As a kind of elective gene surgery.
And ramp up neural activity to a child's level.
I would love not to spend brain power thinking about sex, and to be super-excited by all stuff around, like a child.
To learn some new stuff and be excited and interested about it.
I'd rather live 10 years like that than 20 years as an adult.
