I asked Shirley Yang, "Are the three of us getting smaller? Where does that idea come from?"
Shirley replied, "The nearby objects, including plants and insects, as well as a lot of ancient tree fossils, are all unusually large. So I was wondering if there’s something in this gourd-shaped cave that gradually shrinks the bodies of those who enter."
This sounded quite unbelievable, and I couldn't make a judgment right away. I said to Shirley, "Even if our bodies might be shrinking, does that mean our clothes and shoes shrink too? I think the environment here is just unique, making the entire ecosystem larger than what we see outside."
