David I'm impressed. But, how to do you explain what happens to Jeff
Goldblum in the Fly 2?
Enquiring minds want to know.

Square-Cube Law.
If you reduce the linear measurements to 1/6, the
area of a surface goes down as the square (1/36) and
the volume goes down as the cube (1/216). Therefore
the displacement is 327/216=1.51.
That is why insects are relatively small. If their length
doubles, the volume, and hence the weight goes up
as the cube and an exoskeleton simply cannot support
it.
