Children Of Time is not so wrong, jumping spiders naturally in their current size cant evolve to an complex tecnologic society, but it’s true that they have an astounding intelligence for an so minuscule beeing, capable to planning different strategies to catch their prey, a good sight and perfect aware of an 3D environment. They know exactly what they are doing. Called also cats with 8 legs.
Yes, but the amount of neurons is limited in beeings with less than 5mm, to envolve they must turning also somewhat bigger.
The reason why Asimov wrote a second novel after Fantastic Voyage, which was an work based on the movie, but Asimov are not satisfied about it as scientific, because reducing the size of the people to molecular level, there are impossible that they are capable even to think more than a molecule, so he wrote a second part and in this the bodies are not reduced, but partially traslated to an parrallel dimension, so that the remaining part were small enough to be inyected in the body of the pacient.
I love jumping spiders and always keep them in my home when I see them but for my neurospicy brain, that video is a fucking nightmare to watch with those subtitles and I hate it I hate it I hate it aaaaaa
Jumping spiders are always welcome in my home.
Obligatory “Read Children Of Time if you love jumping spiders” comment

I mean, in CoT they are infected with the Uplift virus, so they will evolve the intelligence and size to get to a complex society

The spiders grow larger. By the end of the first book they are about human chest size
You have to jump this high to be let inside
I would have thought a spider was impossible to pet had I not seen this. Chill little fella.
Jumping spiders are very nice pets, a lot of people have it as such. They are smart enough to recognise their owner and even to learn tricks.
