Germsonas are cool cause not only do I get to pretend to be extremely small but i also get to flex on all the weird phenomena that happens at that size scale such as brownian motion and time dilation!

@oceanotter i'm not really sure time dilation goes along with brownian motion

@Felthry they are different things but depending on what you are able to experience at that size you would experience some noticeable delay between what you are seeing and what is actually happening respective to each individual perception. This gets more pronounced the smaller you get as I am to understand it.

@Felthry that is to say I'm not saying brownian motion and time dilation are the same yes. I mentioned them both as examples of the weirdness going on at that size

@oceanotter do you have some other information on that? because our understanding is that "time dilation" refers specifically to the relativistic effect that happens at very *large* sizes and energy scales, not very small ones
-F

@Felthry it seems I am infact getting the wrong idea /embarrassed

@oceanotter oh! okay then

that would still be a cool thing if it did happen though
-F

@Felthry I keeo getting conflicting ideas of small scale interactions. Would a person move as quickly as we see them move even at a small size. Apparently yes which like... A little terrifying
