Comment on If someone was shrunk down to the size of an ant would they be able to make a little ant sized campfire with the same principles? Does it scale like that?

It makes sense things would burn faster due to the higher ratio of surface area to overall volume. Since volume increases with the 3rd power and surface area with the 2nd power little logs have proportionally more surface area.

I wonder if you could make a tiny candle?
