Scaling!

Watching the movie Fantastic Voyage: Looking at, Human body scaling, Mechanical scaling of submarines and scaling of electronics, what works and what wouldn't work?

Scaling
Takes me awaaaaaaaaay.
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Scaling
Takes me awaaaaaaaaay.
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

None of it would work, you can't shrink atoms.

Even if it was possible to shrink the space inside each and every atom, you'd only be shrinking the size of an object; it's mass would remain the same. The implications of this should be pretty obvious (and somewhat humorous if we are talking about submarines).
