Shrinking people and objects - what physics could accomplish this?

+0
−0

Popular science fiction is full of examples of people and objects being shrunk down to the size of insects or smaller.

Let us assume that everything is shrunk. Thus an animal would still contain the same number of cells in its body. Also, each atom and molecule would shrink.

Assumption: Physics has advanced sufficiently to be able to make a stable local change in fundamental forces and/or a local change in cosmological constants.

Question: What local changes in forces and/or constants have to be made to cause the shrinkage?
