Question: Is it possible to make a shrinkray or a ray that makes something bigger?

Edward Bovill answered on 12 Mar 2013:

Unfortunately, with the technology we have today it would be impossible to shrink or enlarge anything very much. This is because atoms, which make up everything around us, cannot be shrunk down or enlarged. If you shrunk an elephant down to 1/10 it’s size, you would be shrinking all of the atoms that made it to 1/10 of their size too – which isn’t possible.
If you could make animals larger, you would find that past a certain point their bones would not be able to take the weight of their larger body. This is because if I double in size, my weight increases by 8x, but my bones only increase in strength by 4x. Eventually, as I increased in size, my leg bones would break from all the extra weight!
