| Got a new more logical theory on the fairies size shifting ability it's the answer to this question. How come most dinosaurs are so large yet the weight of their own bodies don't crush them? |

Because the structure of their bodies evolved as they grew to compensate for their weight.
Fairies on the other hand essentially have human bodies with insect wings, neither of which are meant to operate at 80 ft tall, in the real world at least. |

| ok I need to spell this out muscle and bone density were much higher than ours it's how the dinosaurs maintained a massive size without there organs being crushed by it's own weight so what if fairies subconsciously increased the density of there muscles and bones |

| We already have an explanation for how fairies and other predators maintain their great size without killing themselves. And it covers ALL the problems giant size would generate, not just weight. Essentially, fairies warp the laws of physics in a manner that more or less means they don't change size so much as adjust their scaling relative to the universe around them. That is to say, their personal space treats them as though they're normal sized, even when they aren't. _________________ "Also I agree with Gregole. He's always right."

| Isn't that the point of magic; to warp and bend the laws of physics? _________________ "See I'm man of simple tastes, I enjoy dynamite, gunpowder... and gasoline!"

| I am talking about something that is a lot easier to pull off I believe by altering the density of the muscles and bones you don't have to bend the laws of physics |

| Mass would have to be conserved, so a 100ft tall fairy would possess the same mass as a 3in tall fairy, meaning the giant fairy is stupidly light or the shrunken fairy is stupidly heavy. When it comes to fantasy worlds you can't always apply the laws of physics and science, although it is fun to do, it does make everything boring, a world with everything explained is a world without discovery and wonder. _________________ "See I'm man of simple tastes, I enjoy dynamite, gunpowder... and gasoline!"

1. Yes you do. Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
2. Weight isn't the only issue. A large animal would be incredibly slow because its brain impulses would take longer to reach its muscles. There's also the issue of retaining more heat.
The current theory we have is perfectly fine and addresses all concerns with a single explanation. _________________ "Also I agree with Gregole. He's always right."

| fine you win this debate for now but I'll refine my theory to cover all the problems of the size issue |
