Re: What's Missing: Loss of Strength

The problem with the Pym Particle scenario is that if your mass and strength do not decrease, then neither would your weight. 100 lbs concentrated to the size of an ant would punch holes in the floor for every step you took.

As you are now, its like moving a...well a shirt. =p But at half size, you are now struggling against something more similar to a large and heavy blanket draped over your shoulders before collapsing in on top of your head.
If you become 1/4 height, your shirt will seem to weigh as much as 16 shirts, (about 5 pounds) and be quite unbalanced. The size and awkwardness of it would be a bigger problem then the weight. You would have to abandon it in order to run.
