What would happen if You just kept shrinking?

[00:00:00]What would happen if you just kept shrinking, getting smaller and smaller and smaller? Once you're smaller than an ant, you can just jump off a chair. Air resistance lets you glide down, but bad news, your voice becomes too high for humans to hear. At least you can hear high-pitched sounds way better. At 1 mm, insects turn into monsters, and watch out for water. If you get caught in a droplet, the surface [music] tension would be too high for you to escape. At 1 micrometer, life becomes dangerous.

[00:00:26]The air feels thinner and dust mites are constantly chasing you. Your only food source? Old bread crumbs, probably years old. At 1 nanometer, a patch of mold turns into a mystical forest. Fighting [music] bacteria becomes part of daily life, and bridges made of water molecules turn into pathways between entire worlds. At 1 picometer, you're subatomic, inside an atom, and you find there's surprisingly a lot of space in here. At this scale, you might even be able to go through walls. Now go in quantum. You don't really have a place anymore. You're just waving around, and at some point, there's no return.

[00:00:58][music] You collapse into a black hole.
