  1. Ok, this is my first post in science forum, I was wondering about something to-do with ants the other day So, here goes the question: Some ants can lift around 50 times their body weight, ok So, in relation to a human that is like a human easily lifting a car BUT. If ants were really human size, Due to the difference in the molecular structure of the ant, and different measurements, (different circuitry system size and different heart sizes, etc). Would the ant actually be able to life something 50 times as heavy as itself then? If it where the same mass as a human (50 – 70 KG) I thought not, what do others think? I can see ant lifting leaf 50 times heavier then itself, but that only due to the actually weight of the leaf. We are talking about smaller mass and scale, So if a ant where 60KG in weight, and near human size, I don’t believe a ant would actually be able to lift something 50 times bigger then itself (2500 – 3500KG) Would really like others people views on this? (Oh, and In future I will promise not to start trivial threads, lol) By Joseph Goss
