    If you got shrunk to that size you’d immediately suffocate as your diaphragm would no longer be strong enough to pull enough air into your lungs.

    Yes I’m fun at parties.

      When you think about these questions they make less and less sense. Like. Do your atoms shrink? If so air is too big to process and physics makes no sense as far as I understand it. If not, you’re just losing the vast majority of them and there’s no way human biology will continue to work at all…

      You’d also get hypothermia, since your body wouldn’t be able to retain enough heat to stay warm.

      There’s a reason why small animals tend to be round and fluffy.

      I haven’t crunched numbers… but my take on it wouldn’t be the strength of your diaphragm. It would be if the movement, which creates negative pressure, would be a sufficient enough gradient for air to flow into the lungs in a timely way.
