Ja.  In engineering school we do so many calculations on the meter scale we<br>
develop intuitions based on that range that we sometimes forget how<br>
different things are on the micrometer scale.  Up here, gravity dominates<br>
everything; down there, electrostatic forces run the government.<br>
<br>
We could imagine an engineering specialty where all the structures are<br>
designed at the micron scale.  They wouldn't worry about HVAC any more than<br>
current mechanical engineers worry about the water supply to the building or<br>
the local waste processing plant (other engineers take care of all that<br>
somehow.)<br>
<br>
If one does calculations every day on the micron scale, useful intuitions<br>
will develop naturally.  When we hear the term "wild beast" we think bear,<br>
racoon, ardvaark or something.  The micron-scale engineer would think<br>
amoeba.<br>
