Space Saving 101

I’ve been thinking lately about the concept of governmentally invoked population control methodology. You know, like AIDS and stuff. You know that shit didn’t just happen. It had to be introduced. DNA structures don’t suddenly alter themselves to a detrimental deficit. Not even in African Green Monkeys. If that were the case, then I would expect all you idiots who believe we evolved from lower forms to seriously revise your theoretical foundations.

So anyway, I was thinking about these methods they use among other things, like conspiracy theories and the way people just disappear when they know too much. Shit like that. And I came up with an idea. Why don’t we shrink our problems away?

Here’s the deal: If we can – and I think we could – find a way to magnetize the nucleus of every atom in a person’s physical makeup, we could effectively attract the electrons to the nuclei. So check it out: matter is ninety percent (yes, 90%) empty space. The space between the nucleus of the atom and its electrons is so great that if you were to represent the nucleus with an orange, the electron scaled to size would be almost five hundred yards away. That’s almost a third of a mile of empty space. So if you bring those electrons in to meet their nuclei and get rid of that space, suddenly the object in question shrinks to near nothingness.

Obviously, magnetism wouldn’t be the answer. But I’m sure one of the other fundamental forces could be used here. Strong interaction is the same force that holds the elementary particles of the nuclei together. If we could split the gluons from the nucleus, and use its force to pull those electrons in, then BAM! We have a massive energy buildup, and an instantaneous reduction in size to almost nil. Now assuming it doesn’t annihilate the atoms that make up the person, they would survive the shrinkage, and we could throw about a hundred thousand people in one ten-by-ten cell. Now that’s saving space… Cause God knows we have no space here. And for you human rights activists that don’t agree with the death penalty – hey, we shrunk the mother cobblers. Isn’t that better?

  1. Great idea Space! I really like it. I really do! It just wouldn’t work. Electrons are negatively charged, and protons are positive. If they were ever to meet, it would be much like that of matter-antimatter, and there would be annihilation. The quarks that make up the proton are held together by a cloud of gluons. Technically there’s no way to extract that cloud. Let’s say you could though. You get rid of the strong force and suddenly those protons are gone. They would most likely spread themselves away from each other (like putting the north ends of two magnets together) and crash into the electrons. Atomic annihilation is also known as fission. And you know what fission means. If you don’t, just talk to anyone in Hiroshima. :)

    Also, if you were able to shrink people like that, and put a hundred thousand of them in one cell, the floor would have to be titanium reinforced concrete. Because those one hundred thousand people would lose their volume as they shrunk, but not their mass. You would have extremely dense tiny people that weighed an average of 200 pounds a piece, though they all stood less than a millimeter tall.
