Shrink ray

Featured Replies

No, a shrink ray is science fiction. Chemical  bonds  within atoms depend on energy levels. So too does bonds of multi atom configurations. The spacing  of protons, neutrons and electrons have a reason in nature. The details of such would be a lengthy thread just on one example. However they are fundamental properties within our universe. Same goes for how dense certain materials can get before other factors come into play. Google neutron stars for one example. You increase density you change the temperature which changes stability between bonds

Is it possible based on physical standards?

No.

Moderator Note

As this is (currently) just a question, I have moved it to Physics; it doesn't belong in Speculations. (But if you start claiming that it is possible, then this will be reconsidered.)
