What If We Made A Shrink Ray?
What would happen if we invented a real-life shrink ray?
As you start shrinking, by the time you’re the size of a small dog, you’re starting to feel chilly. At the size of a smartphone, you’re COLD. REALLY COLD.
Think of yourself as a cube. As you shrink, your volume drops way faster than your surface area.
Your skin is the surface area, where you lose heat, and everything inside you is the volume, where you make heat… A human body isn’t meant to be this small!
So unless you changed your biology, as you shrink you’d be losing heat faster than you can make it! Eventually turning into a popsicle.
But, could you become a GIANT? To find out, subscribe!
