No, it's physically impossible, right?

Well, the scaling of volume and surface area and height, right, goes at different powers.

Mathematical powers, not physical powers.

Well, that kind of too, right?

So if I increase, if I double in height, I'll actually increase by a factor of eight, right?

in volume, right?

Two times two times two, length and width and height.

So I would be eight times larger in volume.

And thus, presumably all of the stuff inside me is made of the same material.

I'm eight times heavier.

That means my legs have to support eight times the weight, right?

Now, if I get bigger, it gets worse.

If I'm 10 times taller and wider and thicker,

then I'm a thousand times more massive.

My legs are increasing in surface area, in cross-sectional area, only by a factor of 100 in that case.

So my bones have to be 10 times stronger to support my weight.

That's absolutely right.

So if Godzilla being 400 feet tall or so in the first movie.

Yeah, so much that all known bone would shatter, right?

All known muscles would tear.
