That was terrific!
This was great!
James Blish , wrote some really good Storys , many of which remain in book form - potentially , only staying in the printed form .😎📚
Bravo !
From the creator that gave us the term 'Gas Giant'.
The ability to have the civil and intelligent conversation around 10:00 - 10:15 used to be much more common. Now, unfortunately we have so many people have foolishly, hatefully, and angrily closed their minds (and hearts) to Him.

Who wrote this!
Me. I wrote it back in the day.
"Surface Tension" is a science fiction short story by American writer James Blish, originally published in the August 1952 of Galaxy Science Fiction
Wikipedia says that George Lefferts adapted it.
oh brother - you’ve got to be kidding - i haven’t noticed a tornado, hurricane, or volcanic eruption being stopped in its tracks lately, have you? good story though. . .
Shrinking space would not inherently shrink time as well. But it wouldn't be too hard to justify how your made-up science shrinks both at once.
Wow. This is a truly awful adaptation' of one of my favorite stories. Shrinking the world to slow time because the sun is going to explode? That's just stupid and not part of the original story. In the original, the tiny people were genetically engineered to survive and colonize an alien planet.
A lot of very silly "science" in this story. And inconsistency in the rate that time flowed for the wee folk.
And it was all added during adaption. They butchered one of my favorite stories by adding an exploding sun, the nonsense about time passing slower, and the crap about prayer and the creator.
