Episode 23.1: the b-side of Shrinking

from Rabbit Hole of Research · host Jotham Austin, II PhD, Nick Elizalde, and Georgia Geis

IIn this mini-episode of Rabbit Hole of Research we dive back into the concept of shrinking. We touch on shows like Dragon Tales and discuss the enormous energy requirements for shrinking, equating them to trillions of Big Macs, or metric tons of plutonium. Additional discussions include the science behind Pym Particles, the cultural fascination with miniatures, theoretical energy sources like antimatter and zero-point energy, and the practicality of shrinking technology.Don’t forget to Subscribe, Share with Friends and Rate the show!Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/2nnmKgguFVartwork by Georgia Geis @atomic_number14And you know, a RHR episode wouldn’t be complete without show notes (footnotes): that’s right, like the main event, the mini episode, also has show notes.
