If you could shrink anything or anyone to pocket size, what would you choose?

Shrinking my vehicle is something I would do only if I could enlarge it at anything & shrink it again. By shrinking it I don’t have to worry about parking & worry where I leave my vehicle & by shrinking it the vehicle would be with me at all times.

I would shrink the worlds trash as well & make the planet a cleaner place to live.

Yep your opinion really makes logic 😊

Of course I would have to read the terms & conditions before I agree to anything & the good news is if I shrink my vehicle if I leave it in my pocket & it goes in the wash hopefully it’s like going through the carwash. If it does in the dryer I’m screwed because the sock monster might get it. In addition if I shrink my vehicle when it’s shrunken I can add a drop of gas to it & in theory when I enlarge it again the gas tank should be filled.

Yep but I think this could be also very risky. Imagine that after you shrunk your vehicle it slips from your hand and fall then you someone stepped on it and it us crushed so I guess you would have to be super careful after shrinking your belongings

What an awesome idea!

I could put my favorite fishing stream in there, along with my boat and my fishing tackle, all ready and waiting for me.

Let me know when they get the bugs worked out, would ya?

Cheers!

Maybe we will able to have this technology one day in the future but we would have to be super careful after shrinking our belongings because we or someone accidently could destroy them.

Unfortunately, that would not be practical because, shrinking something or somebody does not make it lighter because of density and mass.

Thus, I cannot see a human being placed in a pocket. You would need more than just a belt or suspenders (or even a combination of both) to hold that weight. Furthermore, the material of that pocket would give in as it is not made to support a weight/density in such a small surface.

Thus, it would have to be something that can fit in the pocket that does not weigh more than a maximum of about 2 pounds/1 kilo in order not to tear the pocket.

There is nothing I can think of that would be useful to shrink.

This is interesting if it's true. Can u tell me how you no this?

@Brady That is more complicated physics knowledge.

Very simplified, an object is made of atoms and a lot of space between them. If you could shrink an object to such a small size that the atoms would practically touch each other, that object would keep its original weight and mass. Thus a human being that is shrunk to the size of a golf ball, would still keep its weight.

If you could shrink the earth to the size of a basketball, its volume would indeed be smaller and its mass would be approximately 5.97 septillion metric tons, that is 5.97 followed by 24 zeros.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh-oh
Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh-oh
