      It states that as you scale something up, the strength goes up by the square of the scaling factor, while the weight goes up by the cube of the scaling factor.

      It's why giant humans don't exist. If you take the human form and double the height, it gets 4 times as strong, but it weighs 8 times as much. Net result, it's basically like doubling in weight without changing size. The body ends up falling apart under its own weight

      what if humans were smaller and could pilot proportionally giant robots?

      That might work. Scaling down has its own issues in that regard, mostly relating to brain size as far as I know. Also, on the robot side of things, bipedalism turns out to be surprisingly difficult. Mecha of any size would have major balance issues

      what if brain tissue were distributed throughout the body, since you don't need as much muscle or bone precisely due to the square cube law.

      I don't really know much about that side of things. My education is mostly in math, not biology. Anyone else know about that part?

      You mean if humans evolved in zero-G or something? Sure maybe It sounds silly but it is a major evolutionary liability that our brains are pretty big and heavy so we put a lot of energy into holding our heads up, it's one reason our species is prone to back problems

      But in the broad sense "repealing the square-cube law" isn't a coherent concept Like the square-cube law isn't a *law* exactly, it's just... math, it's the logical result of the simple fact that when you scale something up or down, it doesn't scale up the whole universe with it

      The square-cube law explains why you can't have 100-foot-tall humans mainly because we're going with the idea that expanding a human 20x in size doesn't change literally everything else about the physics of a human They're still made of the same flesh and bone

      A world "without the square-cube law" would be a world where this wasn't true, where whatever process "makes things bigger" also makes the materials it's made of stronger, allows it to process more energy with no negative effects from doing so, etc.

          A mythological giant that looks like it's made of flesh and bone but its bones are stronger than steel and its flesh burns many times hotter than a forge (because it has to process enough energy to move a mass many times the size of a human) without catching fire Like Godzilla

          I guess if you think big picture, the square-cube law is a statement about the way our world works, that it's discrete and not continuous Democritus was right and his opponents were wrong, the world isn't infinitely subdivisible, it's made of pixels (atoms)
