  1. It would be crushed if it moved.  Ant's are not made to be big, gravity would have a huge pull on them.  They also would not be able to breathe.


  2. well all science aside, the earth would be ridiculously over populated. because it isn't already.

  3. There is a proportional relation between the thickness of the exoskeleton of ants and other insects, the structure of the exoskeleton itself and the amount of energy needed for the ant to move it, gravity being constant.

    If you increase the size of the ant you must increase the thickness of the exoskeleton so it will maintain the same form without breaking due to gravity. The relation will increase exponentially the amount of energy needed to move.

    An ant the size of a human will not move.
