The "size" of an object is dependent on the strengths of these forces and how they behave. If everything were getting smaller, one or more of these forces would have to be decreasing, but if the relationships with respect to distance were not linearly related, there would be an inconsistency in how one or more of the forces varied, making the change detectable. This is more guess than something I know, but it sounds right. Under quantum mechanics, one of these relationships would diverge from the expected value, I think....
I was thinking much the same thing but with regards to the constants of the universe (gravitational, universal, plank and so on). If one of those would have to vary for my question to be possible then it rules out the possibility - if you know what I mean.
