String Theory Teaser

Featuring myself and
Zeelo in our catboy forms.
We've shrunk really, really, really, really, really, small. I'm now just a little Planck Length catboy. And apparently, we broke physics again. Because Zeelo is somehow even smaller. I really prefer to be the smaller one, but I thought he'd enjoy a treat of getting to be the tiniest thing in existence for a bit. And down here on the Planck length level there is so much string to play with. I'm sure playing with it won't have any odd effects. Anyway, holding the tinier Zeelo in my paw I decided to grab some of this universe string and tease him with it. He's having so much fun just swatting at it. Which is good, as I have no idea how to change back to normal size. So it's a good thing we can have fun time down here.

The thing about fiction is it's not bound by the rules of physics in reality. Shrinking, even to say mouse size, is to be blunt, pretty much impossible without killing the subject. Aside from the fact that their lungs would have difficulty breathing there's the fact that a mouse sized humanoid would likely freeze to death. There's a reason smaller animals are so round, it's to conserve heat because at smaller sizes it becomes impossible.
So, if we're going to ignore the rules, and say in this universe it's possible and people can live through it, then I don't really see any issue with ignoring other rules when we feel like being silly and having fun with it. Is this physically impossible? Yes. But, it's a cute and silly pic idea so it works because Calex something something faerie something.

There's actually an excellent book about physics in fictional scenarios; The Physics of Superheroes, by James Kakalios. It takes the position of what it calls "the miracle exception", where a one-time exception to the laws of physics are permitted for the existence of the superpower, and then the consequences of that are analyzed within the bounds of physics. The book is actually really good for learning the laws of physics too, since it's written for a wider audience. It also has two chapters on shrinking, which are really interesting.
Anyway, I personally have no problem with breakage of the laws of physics in fiction. The SPCA, on the other hand, has very strong opinions on these matters which will be detailed in a strongly worded letter to be delivered to Calex's address in 4-5 business days.
